I fail to see what, if any, appeal SMU has to the existing PAC members.

SMU can offer a few things:
1. Being in the DFW market would not be a bad thing. It is the 5th largest TV market. Getting into an SEC/Big 12 market could be interesting.

2. It might help for football recruiting in Texas. Oregon has signed five four-star football recruits from Texas in the 2023 class. Other Pac-12 schools are recruiting the area, but not with the degree of success that Oregon has had. SMU in the Pac-12 might help.

3. In the 2022 season, SMU played two home games in the 12:00pm EST time slot. One was on ESPN and the other on ESPNU. They could help the Pac-12 get into that noon time slot.

4. They are strong academically. They are not AAU, but they should be acceptable to the conference.

True, SMU has certain things to offer the PAC, but do they have enough to offer to offset the geographical disadvantages?

If I were a PAC fan, I'd rather add SDSU and Fresno State (or Boise State), or Gonzaga and Hawaii or Air Force FB.
