Message: [QUOTE="shantydaze, post: 5162850, member: 666"] The additional two or more teams will be determined by the Pac's media partners and what those partners are willing to pay for a school to be added. From a practical standpoint, as the Pac's new deal will be significantly less than the ACC's or B1G's, a national conference may not be feasible from a cost perspective. It is a lot easier to justify flying cross country when the athletic department is being paid $45 million+ as opposed to $15 million. I had thought a merger of the Pac-2 and MWC under the Pac name made some sense. Obviously, the media partners disagreed. The real question is when the value of the streaming markets is better able to be calculated. Until then, it is a little bit of a crapshoot for the Pac when picking schools to invite. [/QUOTE]
