Dan Patrick's "source" says San Diego State to the PAC 12

#1 · November 7, 2022, 10:23 am

B. J. already posted a tweet about this on his Twitter account but I thought I'd post a message about this on this forum. Here's the original post and video by Dan Patrick:

So...............if they are just going to add San Diego State are they going to change their name to the PAC 11?

Seems like anything is possible at this point. Although at times I think a better conference would be good for us, other times I don't think we'd make it...

There's also word - from reliable sources - that this is not correct. This other source says that they will not be adding any new schools until after their TV contract is finalized and that won't be taking place this week. So, at the very least, the part about SDSU being added to the PAC 12 as "early as this week" seems unlikely at best.

SDSU is probably still a lock for the Pac 12 like you said even if it doesnt get announced this week like DP said it could. Soon as they get their tv contract settled it wont be long after that they probably announce who they plan to invite. It'll be facinating to see if its just adding 1 team or plan on adding 2-4. If its only 2 teams I really dont know how I like our chances considering UNLV and SMU have seemingly become national reporters 2nd and 3rd choices out of the group of 5.

I think that's right. And I don't like Boise State's chances either. I would think if they do add another football program it would be U.N.L.V. (not that their football program is worthy) simply because of market size.

Which makes no sense for UNLV. I cant even consider them a "sleeping giant". Pac 12 already has their presence in Vegas with the football conference championship and basketball tournaments being held in the area. I really don't feel like adding UNLV is going to do anything productive for them. You get the market, cool.... but what good is just having the market when no one in the area even bothers to watch the product anyway? Then add on that they have been irrelevant in both major sports for how long now? At least when we first joined the MW UNLV was still doing well in bball but has fallen off a cliff since like 2014. It's sad that UNLV spends the most on basketball in the conference but yet here we are more relevant than they are each season and we are in the bottom 3rd of money being put into the program in our own conference.

By all means SDSU makes perfect sense for the Pac 12. Cant argue that one bit sadly. Even though they have struggled to pack their new stadium this season you cannot deny their successes in both football and obviously basketball. Plus they are not far behind us in TV viewership either and in a market that would at least help the PAC 12 regain. Not that SDSU is going to make up for the loss of both USC and UCLA but it helps them at least still have a footprint in the southern Cal area.

Well, based on what I've seen of the PAC 12 in the last four or five decades, if it doesn't make sense then the PAC 12 will be all over it.
