FootballScoop makes the case for SDSU based on physical proximity and their media market.
quote:
Multiple reports this week indicate the conference is focusing on making San Diego State and SMU members No. 11 and 12. In reality, there really is no replacing USC and UCLA. They were the Pac-12's anchor to the nation's No. 2 media market.
On that front, San Diego State appears to have the most leverage that a Group of 5 school has had, or ever will have, over a Power 5 conference.
SDSU's Snapdragon Stadium is an 89-mile drive from Mater Dei High School; the next-closest Pac-12 location, Arizona State's Sun Devil Stadium, is 370 miles away. Kliavkoff will see first hand that SMU is very, very far from the West Coast. SMU is in the Dallas-Fort Worth media market, but the Mustangs do not carry it.
CBS Sports reports that the Pac-12 is expected to be "heavily reliant" on a digital streaming partner for its post-USC/UCLA media contract.
