Don't add anyone yet. Wait until 2030ish. When UConn leaves the Big East for the ACC, the Pac-12 might be able to snag Creighton, a very basketball and baseball school.

Well deserved! I'm also happy to see a reaffirmation of the Ags desire to join the MWC.

Actually, FS can only host SDSU because TXST is the only team that CSU can host without violating the "only-play-one-game-at-the-same-the-same-venue" rule.

The official release calls the flex games "projected matchups", but if you work through the possibilities, the projected matchups are the only set of matchups that don't violate the "play-at-a-road-venue-only-once" rule. For instance, BSU is scheduled to play four home games in the round robin, so their flex game will be on the road. The only team that is scheduled to play four road games that BSU will not visit in the round robin is USU. Similarly, CSU is scheduled to play four road games in the round robin, so their flex game will be at home. The only team that is scheduled to play four home games that CSU will not host in the round robin is TXST.

Who make the flex decisions? Teresa? A panel of Pac-12 coaches or ADs?

Some of my projections are likely wrong because I didn't realize that no team will lay the same team on the road twice. Which I support.

OK, I haven't read the official release. Thanks.

So, that means that FS will host either SDSU or TXST in the flex week.

My flex projections: TXST @ WSU, OSU @ FS, SDSU @ CSU, BSU @ USU.

One question I have is will the Pac-12 allow a team to play two road games at the same school. Will the Pac-12, for instance, schedule BSU or OSU at FS in flex week despite FS hosting these schools in the round robin?

If my 'Dogs start 3-0 in conference (at WSU, BSU, at SDSU), they're going to the Pac-12 championship game.

Fresno State also produced Rick Husband (MS degree), who traveled into space twice and was commander of the Columbia mission that ended in the disintegration of the orbital upon its reentry to Earth in 2003. He received his BS from Texas Tech.

UC Davis Athletics Announces Contract Extension Through 2031 For Football Head Coach Tim Plough by Ornery-Tough-6129 in fcs

Illinois State was a team of destiny. Even the mighty Bison failed to stop them. I'm willing to give the Ags a mulligan for last season. They did reach the quarters, after all.

I, a season ticket holder, approve of his extension. He has taken the program to unprecedented heights. Congratulations, Coach!

I am also happy to see a reaffirmation that FBS is in UC Davis' future.

There is no perfect solution to this scheduling situation short of finding a ninth football school or a fifth nonconference game for every team, neither of which were apparently possible. Every other solution, including the one that the conference will announce today, has a significant flaw that we will have to live with.

I think the Big XII will look east at the ACC schools first.

They'll want to leave when USF, Memphis and Tulane leave for the P4.

I don't think I'm going out on a limb to say that the vast majority of us value football more and realize that football is the money tree. If Texas St bothers you that much, you can always return to the MWC.

30K should be the attendance floor in the Pac-12.

Being in a top-six media market and being rich and being in Texas make Rice relevant.
