Ha, I like San Diego a lot. Give me a road trip there over any place in the Big12. But it's not a good football program. It waters down the quality of the conference, and it's another mouth to feed. I just don't see any real pros for me or my school.
R1 is great, but that's still light years away from the AAU status of most of the Pac. I…

R1 is great, but that's still light years away from the AAU status of most of the Pac. It's a completely different level academically. I'm not sure that should matter. If the Aztecs were great at football with a large fan base, they'd be in yesterday, and we'd all be happy about it.
It’s a bad conference because it doesn’t have P5 money…yet. Look at where Utah was 10 years ago vs where they are now, and I’m pretty confident that’s SDSU’s trajectory if they get membership
Maybe, but Utah had already won the Fiesta and Sugar Bowls with unbeaten seasons prior to their invite. It’s not clear that Utah has ever surpassed those teams in the Pac. SDSU has been on the college footballl map once in my lifetime, when Faulk ran there decades ago.
Huh? Have you seen our record vs Pac the last 10 years? Agree, we should be better than we are, last season was especially disappointing, but we've fared fine against the PAC in recent years. So, not sure what you're talking about there. We'd do fine in the PAC, especially with the benefits that would come with being in a P5...as E2148 noted. Academics...same feeling, and discounting us vs the likes of OSU, WSU and ASU which are good schools, also makes no sense. I think your negativity towards SDSU is unfounded, and ignores future potential in P5 based on a past under different circumstances. Besides, the PAC has no better options now. It is a total no-brainier at this point. Thank you to USC and UCLA for their greediness and finally giving us our shot to get in! It's been my pipe dream for 25+ years. Overdue. You mention Faulk, he was a dream to watch. But Penny also wasn't too shabby and our teams 2015-2016 were damn good, spanking Cincy and Houston in bowl games those years. Yeah, those were minor bowls, but that's what we got being in a minor conference.
