Each member universities name is emblazed within the iconic logo a gesture symbolizing unity the rebrand signifies the renewed vision for this collegiate program.
Gonzaga has not joined. They were surprised when the news hit the wire. They were talking about joining, someone jumped the gun and now sh$% got real tense in Spokane.
Utah State has joined. They are paying all fees themselves. Poaching and exit, from what I understand. They've promised to elevate their AD budget to $60 million by 2026. Its been rumored its at a partial share – but thats not been confirmed.
UNLV has been offered a spot and is still interested. Rumored that the Pac-12 isnt picking up a "substantial part" of their exit fees like they did for the first four. so UNLV has to find $20 million in the couch cushions to accept. Otherwise they are stuck in the Mountain West
Being left behind really crushed the Pac-2. To build something they have to be bold, think outside the box, and do something people are surprised about.
Just grabbing six MW teams is not the vanilla solution that is going to "fix" things.
Media value of the conference is likely – Oregon State, Washington State, and Boise State are worth $12-13 million a year each. San Diego 9-10. Fresno 7-8. CSU is an enigma – they suck year in and year out but people do watch them. 5? Utah State 3?
I would guess this an $8.5-9 million/year media value per team conference. Whoever is eighth likely lowers it further.
You've essentially built the thing you wanted to avoid… except you paid $100 million to do it…. A top heavy conference now with at least one "bottom feeder"

I said one to be nice, when will CSU go to a bowl?
UNLV also received an offer to join the Pac-12 today, source tells @NBCSports, but as of 6:30pm ET it did not accept it and, per @PeteThamel, UNLV intends to reaffirm its commitment to the Mountain West.
One school is gonna a tank the media market? You sure about that?
I think it’s time you take a break friend.
Utah State may have poisoned the well on exit fees.. “Look the Aggies paid for everything themselves”
They’ll add Texas State on the cheap, see if Gonzaga will join as non-football, and go to market with 2-4 teams worth of escalators for future realignment. I agree with you that $8-9 million/year is what they are going to get as well.
re-offer Memphis, Tulane, and USF. But pay a lot more than $2.5 million.
