I'm hearing Tulane and Memphis to the PAC, though not offical yet.

* Subject to change

Cool! I don't think the PAC and MW are done quite yet although you did this from a 2026 perspective.

I did notice that CUSA now has no original members in it. What a long strange journey for them. The HQ is still in Dallas for some reason and it's about 10 minutes from me.

Illinois subject to change?

Illinois subject to change?

No mine's an add-on asterisk not a bullet point. I'm not sure why Illinois has a random bullet point. It also appears that American University has joined the PAC. Anyway enough sarcasm on my part. Kudos to True Bearcat for putting this together. Formatting anything properly on this software is always a challenge.

We most likely will not see any major changes until 2030 or later when the major TV contracts near expiration.
