Gonzaga to the Big-12 Update!

no, think they killed the football program during ww2 if i remember correctly

doubt they would get the same share as the other full members

they also have a men's soccer program they will need to place elsewhere

According to Wikipedia, the indisputable fountain of truth and accuracy, Gonzaga last fielded a varsity football team in 1941. From 1892 to 1941, Gonzaga went 134–99–20 (.569) with one bowl appearance, in 1922 in the San Diego East-West Christmas Classic. The Bulldogs lost to the undefeated West Virginia Mountaineers, who claimed a share of the national title that season.

I’m not sure I get this other than if there is a power play between the Big 12 and PAC 12. Surely adding Gonzaga isn’t much of a net gain when it comes to money. I think a network guy said it was additive but otherwise indicated it was more of a blip than anything. Just seems more trouble than it’s worth to mess with their other sports.

Baseball?

Yes.

If what I read is true, Gonzaga has talked with multiple P5's about joining, including the Big 10 and Pac 12.
