Why Tulane should likely pass on a PAC invite and hold for ACC invite.

It's like you're holding out for an 8 when your current partner is a 3 (and just gained 30 pounds) and a 6 might be very (somewhat?) interested in you. I won't think twice about taking the 6 and if the 8 is ever interested we'll talk then.

This, crass it may be and with small quibbles on the grades.

[WaveProf]

If Tulane is offered the P12, for more money, and turns it down, it will be the final confirmation the admin has no interest or intention of ever being serious, and we should all walk.

[DCGreenie]

Well, I have nowhere I would have to go now, but you could get another gig at, say, the Colorado School of Mines, for example....

Hey! I purposefully kept it gender neutral in attempt to be less crass!

What's being on ESPN worth in advertising and exposure? If the four schools bolt OU and UW are gone ASAP and the AZ schools will be looking to move. The PAC10 leadership is not very good. I'd prefer to stay in the American, take the remaining PAC12 teams, stay on ESPN and get a bump in revenue

You would be G5 in that scenario and would have American bowl tie ins instead of pac 12 bowl tie ins. It’s why we don’t actually want the pac 12 or acc to fold, we want their names, status and contracts ——-we need them to back fill.

I get what your saying, but with the playoffs starting the bowl tie-ins are likely to change. The ones they have now are"

1. College Football Playoff Semifinal: If Selected

- Jimmy Kimmel LA Bowl vs Mountain West
- Radiance Technologies Independence Bowl vs Big 12
- San Diego County Credit Union Holiday Bowl vs ACC
- SRS Distribution Las Vegas Bowl vs SEC
- Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl vs ACC
- Valero Alamo Bowl vs Big 12

From the ESPN owned and operated bowl games, the Pac-12 will be able to fill one of these three slots ...
- Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl vs Big 12 or C-USA
- SERVPRO First Responder Bowl vs ACC, American Athletic, or Big 12
- Union Home Mortgage Gasparilla Bowl vs Big 12, ACC or SEC

Honestly I am not sure how much of a step up these are.

Rose Bowl status?

Even if that is gone into CFP every year (is it?), Alamo Bowl and Sun Bowl each beat anything AAC has.

Sorry but we are edging into self-esteem training category here

[Sophandros]

Yeah, other than maybe the Independence Bowl, all of those have a higher stature than our current tie-ins.

[nolasilver]

Also it’s not like we couldnt compete to win the new pac 12. Assume Oregon and WU leave. Who are we scared of ? Utah is a very good football school. We don’t know if the 4 corner schools leave, but personally I think it would be fun to kick the crap out of Colorado if they stay. A school with a grand history and still think they are some super power. Let’s give them a reality check.

100%. And even the Independence has more history and longevity than the Cure or Frisco Bowl that basically popped up the last decade.

The AZ schools are two of the four schools. OU and UW would love to leave ASAP but they would need somewhere to go. Stanford and Cal are not going to leave their history in the PAC to join a conference with North Texas and UNCC.

[IM42lane]

Refuse any PAC ## invite. Just take a hard look at any conference that offers something from the CENTRAL part of the USA or the EASTERN area.
