Conference Expansions


With all the talks about the Pac-10 expanding to include the likes of CU, Utah, Texas, and more, and Big Ten looking at Texas, Missouri and more.  There are talks of potential superconferences.  What is the potential impact it could have on smaller conferences like WCC, WAC and what not.

Is there the potential that the Zags end up playing in the MWC, or conferences like that or?  Also how much could that help/hurt our scheduling?

Lack of football

Pretty much prevents us from going to the MWC and the Pac 10…..and I dont think the WAC would be a step up in terms of conference competition. MWC and Pac 10 would be, but these conferences wold be required to do something like the Big East and take in multiple schools for the basketball conference season.

Final 4 or bust

Football

Yes, that is a major down point for us, but are the conferences really worried about bringing in a basketball only member to possibly boost revenue/competitiveness?

That would be AWESOME!!!

Haha I would actually be able to go watch Gonzaga play more than once every 2-3 years and they would be able to beat Uconn annually which would give me bragging rights. Then I would also be able to watch them play in the conference tourney at MSG. Haha it will never happen but god that would be the greatest day of my life!!! Wow, I feel like Martin Luther King Jr now. I have a dream….that Gonzaga will one day become a member of the Big East Conference.
