These media folks with creating their own terminology. They can just call it a "merger" of two conferences. They can figure out how to legally keep the PAC 12 credits regardless of whatever they want to call the conference. da heck is a reverse merger?
Lol. The MWC is going to disband, and those groups are going to be added to the PAC-12. They will get out of the media deal and be able to renegotiate.
That sounds like what FSU and Clemson were hoping would happen to the ACC. Dissolve the sucker and join a different conference.
Acquisition by a smaller company of a larger company. Usually in a merger of the larger company is the survivor. In a reverse merger the smaller company ends up being the survivor. You see it thrown around when a private acquires a public company and then ends up being a public company. Kind of weird to use it in this concept, but not entirely inappropriate.
Not just keep Mora, but give him more resources. Specifically, a bigger pool of money for his assistant coaches. Guy wants to win, but he can't do everything.
Same happens with UTC and Raytheon. Merger, but UTC took over.
Merger, acquisition, hostile takeover, what have you. this "reverse merger" stuff is nonsense. I'll bet the MWC simply adds the 2 northwest "states" and perhaps another couple two or tree, bada-bing, bada-boom, Betty Boop.
That’s a double example
Regardless of which conference name Wazzu and OSU ends up with, I suspect their attorneys ensure their ex-PAC 12's total March Madness dinero for multiple seasons is not pissed away. With or without PAC-ish, MWC, or a newly christened conference name.
The whores in Bristol plus SMU agreeing to be an CCC butt boy made it happen...
I used to believe that. Now, I believe that they just actively don't like us.
The ACC is schizophrenic…some of the ADs see UConn’s value but in basketball terms while other ADs seem adverse to all things UConn. Those are people that can be potentially be swayed. The presidents however are just out of their flipping minds.
I have said this for years.
Jim Ryan, who is president of UVA, is an esteemed university administrator. Our former president, John Casteen, later was president of UVA. Let's get some contact going on!
In addition, former University of Virginia Executive Vice President and Provost Thomas C. Katsouleas was our recent president at UConn.
I think he's still receiving a salary for doing not much. Why not ask him for help?
I don't know that the board so much give him fits but they definitely gave him his walking papers. He was kind of stunning that he thought he could unilaterally redefine the states flagship university as a free higher education alternative. Once he did that, his days were numbered.
If that was true, how did he recruit? Half the team on that field last week was recruited by RE. Seems like he could recruit out of high school, but the rest of the game had passed him by.
In fairness to Katsouleas, he wanted to offer about 1500 underprivileged CT students per year a free ride (they were going to be very bright students as well) and he vowed to double research over the next 10 years. His goals were agrressive and they would have put a lot of pressure on Katsouleas himself to deliver grants and private support. I often think they might have chased away just what they needed in him.
