Tldr is that UCLA president messaged Cauce apologizing for not being transparent in the plans to leave the PAC. SDSU president immediately got in touch with Cauce when then the news broke looking for a spot in the PAC.

Cauce's response.... "Friendship first!" and then said she looked forward to future dinners with him

I like what Joey or Woolley said on the pod, adding San Diego State and UNLV makes the most sense if we're staying in this dreckfest of a conference.

This will likely dilute the payoff substantially to subsidize shitty growth. So this is the likely outcome.

UNLV adds nothing, just an opportunity for a crap program to possibly pull some SoCal recruits. Pass.

They shouldn't even consider adding UNLV until they get rid of their current bloated 13th member the Pac 12 Network.

SoCal? The region the league is about to have zero footprint in?

when was the last time we recruited SoCal well? I don't really follow recruiting so an honest question. I would guess it has been a long time.

When Don James brought in Nip Kauffman. (or was it Nap?)

UNLV is not going to be Utah but they have talent and alure for the region. SDSU is the only obvious choice after that you are looking at a considerable step down I would think

SDS has had some good years in both of the major sports but if that's the best option, yikes. I guess the media market has a decent size. I'd rather raid the Big 12.

We probably could have had BYU. But the West Coast libs would have a conniption fit and chain their once monthly washed carcasses to Eugene and Berkeley admin buildings

San Diego State enters immediately at the top of the hottest women on campus conference standings.

SDSU
ASU
Arizona
Colorado
Oregon
WSU
Cal
Oregon State
Washington
Stanford

Lost a championship contender in USC. UNLV would land probably just after Colorado ahead of Oregon.

Cal too high.

I wouldn't mind the conference staying with 11 for a bit. No one else seems to offer much

no_uh

I'd rather they bring in SMU then UNLV.

Especially without Divisions. What the fuck does UNLV bring besides taking from the pie?
