Conference carousel to start spinning again?

I assume you mean St. Mary's College of the WCC and not Southern Methodist University of the....ACC. Yeah, that actually happened.

By definition, Hawaii belongs in the Pac-12. Just sayin’.

So you are saying they are bound for the Atlantic Coast Conference?

Why not! If west coast teams can be in the Big 10, put the Rainbow Warriors in the ACC. They can replace Miami or FSU if they get out somehow.

If St. Mary's and Gonzaga leave the WCC for the PAC-12, I want Pacific to join the Atlantic Coast Conference in basketball. Just for fun.

So in other words, fsu and Clemson finally realized there was nowhere for them to go. No one wants them.

The (attempted) revamped Pac 12 has shown some interest. I wish I was kidding. I'm not.

If done thoughtfully, this Pac-2 has a chance to be a nice "best of the rest" league. They seem to have already extracted most of the best of the MWC (maybe UNLV and New Mexico would still make sense for them), and now they seem to be picking the bones of what used to be the AAC for its top remaining programs. Could give those better programs a chance to bond together and get away from some of the rif raff. A clear step down for Oregon State and Wazzu, but a nice step up for the rest of them if done correctly.

Separately, Wichita State may need to go to the MVC and beg their way back in. The AAC was a nice idea for them when they were riding high under Gregg Marshall and the AAC still had Cincinnati, Central Florida and Houston. But those guys are gone, and now Memphis and Tulane appear to be following them out the door. They had something going and took their shot. They can't really be blamed for that, and they'd still make the MVC better by going back in (and would like regain some identity as a program and improve themselves). I guess the A-10 would also be an option, too, but other than St. Louis sitting 7 hours away, there's no member remotely close to Wichita. It's clear to me that the AAC is definitely NOT the right fit anymore.

Memphis, Tulane, South Florida and UT-San Antonio are turning down the revamped Pac-12 to stay in the American.

Meanwhile, other Mountain West schools are basically deciding whether or not to remain loyal and renew their grant of rights. Also hearing that Gonzaga will be joining the Pac-12 and get a full share of revenue even without football.
