The AZ schools, UCLA.
PAC’s NCAA baseball rankings should look like the SEC football rankings.
Stanford too.
USC baseball has seemingly fallen off the map though. At one time they were an Omaha staple.

SEC and ACC own college baseball now and have for a decade. A team from another conference will make a run here and there because of a pitcher but for the most part it's down to two conferences for the time being.USC was tops in baseball too.
I see more hope for the Big 12, tbh. Ya got Texas and Oky. Power programs in all 3 sports with a couple off years now and again in a given sport.
I used to think the Big 12 would fold and Texas + OU would go PAC with a few other teams but damn the PAC has shit the bed.
The Big 12 members should wake up in the morning and give thanks for Okkahoma because they have carried the whole conference for the past 3 years or you might have been done.
Why?The Big 12 needs to start making a plan to get AZ ASU CU and Utah.
And there is the problem. Larry Scott.You could have had both in the Pac. But something as stupid as television money blew it all up. Prestige and success are so much more important than TV money. The difference in TV money for all the conference is negligible to total budget. And I'm not saying Texas didn't contribute largely to the failure, but they also couldn't invite themselves or negotiate by themselves to work it out. Destroying the Big 12 and increasing our travel significantly requires negotiation and give and take from both sides. Larry Scott said our way or GFY and here we are. Then he doubled down and told OU GFY too when they still showed interest.
PresentLook at it this way, in each conference how many schools went to all of the following in the same year in each conference...
A) Bowl Game
B) March Madness tourney
C) CWS
I don’t think the PAC had any.
I imagine all the other conferences had at least 3 or 4 if not more in B1G and SEC.
ASU is a massive market. They bring UA. Colorado also, they bring UtahWhy?
UCF and Cincinnati make more sense from a recruiting standpoint. They take all the stud recruits from AZ anyway.
The PAC is fucked because blue collar families that produce the best football players are getting the fuck out. Wise up or wake up and be a non P5 territory.
Cali recruits aren't what they used to be. They've either moved, pushing drugs or pansy liberals.

That’s it?Auburn and Michigan this year.
That’s it?
Expand it to a baseball regional. As only a few make the CWS, so we are around that 60-70 team mark in each of the three.That’s it?
The best Arizona kids are going elsewhere the market is taken. It's not Louisiana or Ohio where if you can build a fence you can make a living. The kids grow up dreaming of going out of state and there isn't pressure in state to stay.ASU is a massive market. They bring UA. Colorado also, they bring Utah

The PAC is fucked and liberal and pansy ideals that have killed you.
And there is the problem. Larry Scott.
I imagine no one had done what we did in a very long time. Haven't looked it upPresent
