One thing is that Utah is going to have to upgrade in basketball (hopefully like the Rick days), track and field (does Utah even have a team?), Mens volleyball (big in the PAC) Men's Gymnastics (Do we have a men's gymnastic team? the woman's team...what can you say...one of the top two programs with Georgia.

Utah just built a new field & track, currently only has women's track because of Title IX. We don't have a men's gymnastics team. The women's team was created specifically because of Title IX. Most PAC (and other univ.) have dropped their men's gymnastics teams (or never had them in the first place) also because of Title IX.
UCLA and BYU dropped their men's gymnastics teams a few years ago, among others. I thought it was a real shame that UCLA dropped men's gymnastics because they had such a storied program.
UPDATE: Stanford is the only PAC school that currently has men's gymnastics and only 3 PAC schools have men's volleyball: Stanford, UCLA, USC.
