The Pac-12 SHOULD want Gonzaga, but do Zags want the Pac-12? | Pros and cons of new Pac-12 and WCC

SDSU vs the Zags every year would be lit. 2 of the best not-mid-major programs.

Wifes a Zag, I'm a Bronco. I need this... It would be the most entertaining winter EVERY YEAR. I'd buy extra season tickets... Please,... Imagine no longer playing San Jose State and instead getting Gonzaga. I'd never sleep again.

[@adamcompean9385]

YES, big time!!! Gonzaga has outgrown the WCC!!! Some of the WCC schools 🏫 have like a high school gym! Plus too many cupcakes 🧁 teams!!! Time to move on our of here! Go Zags!!!

[@shane38002]

Washington St., Gonzaga, Memphis, UNLV, San Diego St., Saint Mary's would be basketball heaven

[@stevedonnie4077]

Add in Grand Canyon and Wichita State as possible options, plus Oregon State once they finally have the stability to fire Tinkle and it could be electric.

[@Alieh86]

You left out Boise State and even Colorado St at time.

Go Zags

PAC should want Gonzaga due to quality of basketball play, national name recognition, good academics, more media revenue,geographic regionality and PAc 12 may depend more on basketball money if there becomes even more of an elitist CFP with a super conference that Trey’s to exclude non super conference teams. Bringing them on with University of Connecticut or Saint Mary’s would be great. Zag’s may not want to go because: They have shown they can schedule a hard enough non conference schedule to get a march madness invite. They will usually win their conference championship which gives them an automatic bid. Reasons they May want to join: Get more media money. More likely to have competitive teams that are regional. Gain more National attention? Play in bigger arenas with more energy. Have more attendance at their games?

If the PAC adds 3-5 eastern schools and UNLV, I think it could be a very fun conference. Another team that is worth mentioning is Wichita State. They’re basketball-only members of the AAC, but if the AAC gets gutted they may be an interesting option as well.

Wichita State also adds depth in baseball to the conference.

Gonzaga has a more extensive basketball history but if Gonzaga was in the PAC12 they would have their plate full. They have not dominated SDSU and SDSU has had its plate full as well with Boise State and other programs.
