I love it ! Go Pac !
I am happy that the Pacific 12 is still an FBS Conference!
Matt I am happy too that Pac 12 is still with FBS.
I know as of now, the Pac 12 has 8 schools for football, and 9 for basketball with Gonzaga. But are they considering trying to get back any of their old schools? I would ask Cal and Stanford, since they are ACC schools in California, so I know football isn’t a big deal since it’s just one game a week, but other sports, like field hockey, or other low level sports. I know football and even basketball brings in the money, but they will have to turn it around to field all the other sports, so I say bring those teams back. I figure the other schools more likely will stay where they are least for now, but we will see what happens. I am glad the PAC is back.
It is all about TV money and as of now the Pac does not have the cache the other conferences have that is to say money and TV exposure. People like football in the west but are not consumed with it like it is east of the Rockies. TV wants eyes to sell commercials. I was born and raised in California for 40 years but football is not a religion like it is east of the Rockies. Govt support for college athletics is weak as many schools in California no longer play football. 3 major private schools no longer play football who at one time had a national presence. Elsewhere in the country schools are moving to higher classifications. I have experienced it firsthand living in Texas, Arkansas, & now Georgia after 40 years in California. It is 24/7 elsewhere.
What three private colleges are you referring to? Pacific? I'm struggling to think who would even begin to qualify as having a national presence at any point in college football history.
Stanford & Cal are excellent with ACC.

After the 1992 season, the Santa Clara football program was discontinued due to new NCAA regulations which mandated all sports be played at the same level at each university, as well as due to the high cost of funding football.[3] Santa Clara had fielded all Division I teams with the exception of the Division II football team, and elected not to field a team at the Division I-AA level.[4]
Santa Clara played in three major bowl games and won all three: 1937 Sugar Bowl, 1938 Sugar Bowl, and 1950 Orange Bowl.
