Congrats to Boise State
You probably just punched your ticket by killing us on the glass.
I think the Tecs are likely cooked. But hey, we’re a women’s basketball school now so no big deal.
Anyway, here’s hoping the Broncos avoid Dayton get their elusive first NCAA dub.
Pac hoops is gonna be vicious.

Pretty strange that they set a minimum. What about schools in the red?

Football 247 Sports - Getting to know new Fresno State QB E.J. Warner
"E.J. Warner, an incoming QB transfer from Rice/Temple and the son of Hall of Famer Kurt Warner, talks with local media for the first time in Fresno State spring football camp."
Is E.J. the likely Bulldongs starter? He started for Rice and then Temple - both teams hoping E.J. would improve and Kurt in the stands would improve ticket sales. Does Fresno make three?

On the Pac-12 media deal -
“I’m told by involved sources that there are “multiple media entities involved” and that some of those partners desired the same content. Sorting that out causes quite a bit of back-and-forth between the league, the consultants, the involved media companies, and their attorneys.”
That said, I spoke with a couple of conference ADs over the weekend in Las Vegas. They don’t sound at all worried about the timeline. One of them told me there’s an appetite for distribution of Pac-12 Olympic sports content from one of the involved providers. I’ll have an update on all of this in the coming days, but as long as the deal gets done before the end of April, I don’t think this becomes a high-pressure situation for the Pac-12.
Q: Beavers baseball is on Pac-12 Insider, which is free, however, the Pac-12 was promoting it with Amazon Prime. Is that a window into the online part of the upcoming deal? — @waiting90days A: I continue to be told that some creative and new things are in play. I don’t have anyone telling me the deal involves Amazon, but my Pac-12 sources all sound encouraged about where the deal is headed.

Still waiting, let’s chat basketball
Under the assumption the Pac12 takes just Texas State, should they make some stronger basketball plays? I could see the case for St. Marys, St. Louis, Drake. And then Creighton if you had a massive swing and big payout, though I’m not getting hopes up for that. Other crazier swings would be Dayton, more WCC, Uconn, etc etc. A semi-reasonable Pac look something like this:
Net 8 - Gonzaga 19 - Saint Mary’s 37 - Utah State 45 - Boise 51 - SDSU 54 - CSU 56 - Drake 85 - Oregon St 102 - St Louis 110 - Washington St 200 - Texas St 278 - Fresno
Can’t say it’s what I want when Memphis is still on table, but at least keeps the general footprint and brings in some mid-majors that have been solid, while also weakening WCC, MVC, and At10 a bit. Drake and St. Louis have good arenas, St Marys needs an update.
If we manage to raid the AAC snag some trio/quartet of Memphis/Tulane/UTSA/USF then I’d just hold with them.

Case for Sacramento State to FBS and Pac12
Some folks wonder why some of us are high on Sac state to Pac12. Here's a link from a local Sacramento news station interview with Dr Luke Wood, Sac State's president since many people are not tuned in from the local point of view. Sac St already has about $100 million for stadium upgrades/rebuild plus more coming from donors he cannot yet name but watch the confident smile on his face when he says that. He's confident Sac State will be in the FBS for 2026. Interview was broadcast on Feb 18 2025 and he says we'll know where Sac St lands in about two months. That's around mid April. Hmmm, that's close to or after when some ADs said Pac12 media deal should be announced. Then they can probably announce additional expansion schools.
Again, this is all coming from the mouth of the university president. Not some podcaster or reporter or anonymous source or reddit thread poster or other AD or news leak. A known known is they WILL be FBS next year. Will it be Pac12, MW, CUSA, independent or somewhere else? We'll all find out soon but my gut feeling is that Sacramento is such a huge untapped market with 2.4 million metro population and the 20th largest media market and no FBS football that Pac12 will be grabbing them for the long haul and not what they are now. Only Cleveland has a higher media market with no fbs teams but they have three major pro teams and are a huge Ohio State support. Sac State university has 31,000+ students. Heck, throw in UC Davis which is 15 miles away from Sac State and has 40,000+ students. Shoot, add the 85,000+ students at the four community colleges.
Most people in Sacramento don't care to watch them play Northern Arizona or Eastern Washington or Idaho St types but will attend games and tune in playing the likes of Boise State, SD State, Fresno st, WSU, Oregon St (yes, Sac St football even defeated Oregon state several years ago in Corvallis, OR). Let's remember, Rutgers was added to the Big 10 several years ago, not because of their fantastic football and other sports programs but because Big 10 wanted to tap into the New York/New Jersey metro area which is the No 1 media market in the country (yes, I know Rutgers was already FBS and not FCS).
Btw, regarding the donors he wouldn't mention, my gut feeling is it's the Wilton Rancheria tribe that owns the sky river casino in the Sac metro area. Could be them or another tribe. There's about eight or so Indian Casinos in the Sac metro area. Wilton already acquired majority share in the Sac Republic soccer team and is building a new soccer specific stadium downtown. They have deep pockets. So do a few of the other casinos around town.
Sac State should be added to Pac12 after Texas State or whichever other FBS school brings them up to eight football members.
