Custom Conferences

Do you think we will get to delete the PAC12?

I know they mentioned we can rebuild it, so obviously we will have conference realignment, but do you think they’ll allow us to delete the conference entirely, as we haven’t been able to in the past.

Hope not. The world should be forced to keep the P12 alive after the networks conspired to destroy it. They're exploring options to merge with the MW, and retain the PAC name, and also bringing up FCS schools.

I'm mostly kidding (still extremely bitter about the end of the conference I've known my entire life) but I have a feeling the conferences won't be deleteable since they have paid to license them. We've had no confirmation though. Only that you can rebuild some legacy conferences.

Great question. We will have to rebuild the Pac-12 in Dynasty mode if we cannot delete the conference. I don't expect the NCAA to allow the conference to exist as a 2-team conference after 2024-2025 academic year... expand or fold. I would also be surprised if the Pac-12 can regain P5 status because there are not enough top quality G5 teams to add to Wazzu and Oregon State to revitalize a Power conference.

Yeah it won't be a power conference again. But I can see a world where they absorb the MW and keep the name. Add teams from FCS like Idaho, if they want to come back up again (given their recent successes) or other Big Sky teams. The academic and research university standards the PAC used to have obviously have to be thrown out the window (which they should have a long time ago, because we should have added teams like BYU/Boise State/San Diego State/etc ages ago).

Surely they have to allow us to merge at least the MWC and P12, maybe let us choose which logo and name remains?

Just don’t think there’s enough teams to make both work unless you pull back the schools that left, which personally I wouldn’t do, but I know some will.

Hopefully they do touch on this in the dynasty deep dive.

Yeah it's certainly something they should address. Cause it is a bit of a conundrum. Could be resolved by the time the next iteration of the game rolls around. Though there is talk of the PAC2 negotiating an 'alliance' with the Sun Belt for scheduling in 2025.

Yeah I'm definitely pulling back the schools that left. West coast teams don't belong in the ACC or Big 10 IMO.

I'm confused on how Custom Conferences work if the real life future schedules are included in the game. Maybe I'm just misunderstanding and custom conferences work the same as as always.
