OT: Does anyone want to do a wellness check on Mike "I'm not mad" Aresco?

[Travelman6]

In the same month he loses Houston, Cincy, and UCF, Boise State basically turns its nose at the AAC.

If this is true, I don't blame Boise St., Ouch

Boise State Rejects AAC in Hopes of Future Big 12 Invite

The conference realignment game seems to never end, especially given the state of college sports in recent weeks. And as the trickle-down effect continues following Oklahoma and Texas announcing their plans to leave the Big 12 for the SEC, an interesting tidbit involving Boise State came out on...

Is Mike still NOT mad?

Smart move. The AAC after UC, UCF and UH leave is going to be a shell of what already was a shell of a conference.

 

[Greedo]

I'm kind of confused why Air Force and Colorado State are willing to leave MWC for the AAC. It's kind of a push, IMO, on which is better if you remove Houston, UC, and UCF. I guess Air Force would like to be with Navy?

 

[CL82]

Have to wonder about how Temple feels about the new additions. The former Big East keeps moving it's geographic center further west. Since Navy is football only, they are really out on a island at this.

 

[SubbaBub]

Not my problem. He's on his own.

Potentially, some additional dinero in AAC vs MWC, continued aggravation with Boise reaping higher MWC revenues than USAFA and CSU, and at least every other gridiron season Air Force likely picks up an extra non-conference, revenue-generating home game, i.e., switch USNA from out-of-conference CIC game to in-conference CIC game, then schedule someone else for football in Colorado Springs.

I'd have to deeply dislike Temple not to feel badly for them, and I don't have any reason to deeply dislike them.

Oh I never said you had to feel any particular way about them. I am just wondering what their worldview is on the additions. I suspect it is mixed. They are likely thrilled that the conference is replacing some of the lost members, but concerned that they are going to be even more isolated. I wonder if the American continues to make economic sense for them.

Do you really think Aresco really cares? He's in his mid 60's and prob just looking for a paycheck until he retires....his goal is probably to just keep the conf afloat until he does

 

[LIuconn]

Seriously he’s made hundreds of thousands if not millions as the commish. Dealt a crap hand and did what he could.

I never imagined you were suggesting how I ought to feel.

I think Temple's situation is as sucky as UConn's would be without having departed for Big East. If B1G or ACC tapped Temple (for the Philadelphia market) without adding UConn (for NY/CT) , I'd have reason to more than dislike them.

Currently, I don't care enough to know enough, to think other than, "That ain't gonna happen."

 

[Tampahusky]

We being content at another person’s misery is laughable. This whole musical chairs game sucks for everyone especially for us the last couple of years looking at the state of our football program and money deficit. Just be happy we are righting our own ship.

SDSU has a chance at the PAC. Noise does not.

You mean like our last two football coaches!

He’s 71.

SDSU does not have a chance at the Pac-12. The Cali schools won't allow it.

He’s 71.

Further to my point.

Don't think so. The future of the PAC is to head East
