Idaho Posted September 12 Posted September 12 (edited) The Pac-12 is starting it's rebuild by adding Boise State, Fresno State, San Diego State and Colorado State. Two of those schools have had wrestling programs, Boise State and Fresno State. It is unclear whether these schools will add wrestling. However, in order to be a viable conference they will need to align with their sports. The six teams will collaborate to target more teams to be added to the conference. On a related wrestling note, the teams in the Pac-12 for wrestling are committed to rebuilding the wrestling conference. There are teams interested. Stay tuned. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/41226997/sources-boise-state-four-schools-set-join-pac-12 Edited September 12 by Idaho 1 2 Sponsored by INTERMAT

I tend to agree - they will have a lot of expenses just transitioning to the Pac-12 and upping their football and basketball markets.... but, it technically is "unclear." Same with other sports as well...baseball... BSU tried and didnt' even get a season in and CSU doesn't have a program either. I am "guessing" that there will be some talks/negotiations about how to streamline their athletic departments beyond Football and Basketball. They also need two more teams to become a "real conference." 1 Sponsored by INTERMAT

I was thinking more recent, but you are correct. I believe Quincey Clark was an AA there... one of only a couple if I remember correctly. Sponsored by INTERMAT
AgaveMaria Posted September 12 Posted September 12 They must have lowered their academic standards. Years ago BYU was taken out of consideration because they did not meet them. University of Utah did. ” Never attribute to inspiration that which can be adequately explained by delusion”.

Having low expectations then being surprised is much better than high expectations and being let down...again...and again. 1 Sponsored by INTERMAT
