Im loving it…i hope a qb cost the top schools 10 million dollars a year

Allegedly, your situation, for you, would be concurrently improved, if I had $200,000 in my back pocket right now

 

[Marbles90]

Source? Doubt she's making 3 million, instegram followers are not that monetizable, especially when that is the only source of visibility.

I’ve seen her in a bunch of online and TV ads and I am not online much. There is no way to confirm how much she is actually making but I wouldn’t blink at the $3.1 million annually.

The great thing is.. the cheaters can’t cheat anymore.. its all out in the open now…the wild west..and football being the money sport… and a lot more players to pay..you know the business can’t pay enough money to players… im sure schools digging into those tv media deal money to help buy all these players… i hope it gets so expensive to all those schools that want to compete

Who is in a better position right now - UConn or Washington State/Oregon State?

Wash and Oregon state.

 

[Kowalski]

Wouldnt surprised me. At this point any program that has some sort of FB team will get picked up before Uconn. FB team always seems to find new ways to be yucky . Sigh

No one wants us for FB only at this point.

A MW / Pac-2 merger is an opportunity for them to put together a great basketball conference, & add sizzle to a conference that would be only so-so in FB. Like Yormark kept saying - basketball is undervalued.

The geography’s not ideal, but adding SD State, Memphis & Uconn for all sports & Gonzaga & Wichita State for
BB would make a merged conference an immediate BB power. And Uconn & Gonzaga alone might be enough to attract other BB schools ( think Creighton & Marquette, who aren’t geographic
fits in the BE either.)

Given that UConn’s only options now are to wait & hope, I think it’d be a legit proactive move with a potential pathway to P4. We need something out of the box.

UConn's BB boosters would probably threaten to stop donations over that. Just saying.

I thought the big news about the original BXII expansion was they had prorata increases built in to pay for BYU, Cincy, Houston, and UCF. This makes it sound like the original BXII schools are paying $7 million each to fund the $18m going to the 4 additions.

 

[Figurehead]

Wash and Oregon state.

Nah! Other conferences don't like litigators.

 

[NE Football]

ESPN paid for two of the four additions to get the Big 12 to 16 teams. The Big 12 will lose members by 2030 to the other P4 conferences. That will be our next opportunity to get into the Big 12.

The Big 12 has no teams that the B1G or SEC want. Meanwhile, the ACC does.

The BXII has teams the ACC may want. If the Big XII is paying for expansion out of their own pockets, I’m thinking the differences in payouts between the Middle 2 could cause some turmoil when the Big XII contract ends in 6 years. Kansas, Ok State, TCU, would help with scheduling partners as well as shore up if any defections come.

 

[Sea Goat]

I agree with you on sentence one. Sentence two, both of them have accomplished much more than us to that point and since as well. However that had nothing to do with why they were added. We were c-blocked, and Warde and Sue did not navigate that era so great.

Sorry for the late response. Respectfully, I challenge you to put forth what the hell SU has accomplished. They won only one Natty ever in football during the Eisenhower administration. They have won only one Natty ever in BB during the Bush II (Shrub) administration. As an academic institution, it is quite simply the most overrated, over priced second tier private college in the NE. Nothing more, nothing less...

Regarding LV - it has had some athletic success of note - by no means exemplary though. However, as an academic institution, the only requirements for admission is a pulse and being able to find your ass if it's itchy... That will catch up to them. The world already has enough simpletons.

If I seem to be somewhat pejorative with my assessments, it is only because the ACC, taking either of those schools over UConn, was dead wrong! That conference will not succeed in the long run - you'll see...

 

[WestCoastHusky]

WSU coach called out ESPN for destroying the PAC-12.

 

[KryHavok]

Loved how he took Corso to task. What Dickert said isn’t wrong, but we’ve already seen indifference to how the original Big East was gutted by alignment. No media outrage then. Sucks for OSU & WSU, but they’ll get through it. Hell, how long has UConn’s demise been going on, yet we’re still here.

Why would anyone leave the B12 for the ACC? You'd be joining a conference that is on the verge of losing its 3 most valuable properties -- FSU, Clemson, UNC.
The ACC leftovers is much weaker than the B12.

The contracts involved. It sounds like the Big XII had to pony up the money themselves for the AAC expansion because ESPN/Fox didn’t rate them. If the cable trend continues, who knows what the money will be like in 2030 when the Big XII will be asking companies to pay $80+m for the state of Utah. At that point the ACC contract plus the ACCN money may look fairly good.

But obviously there is a bunch of unknowns. We don’t know if that blurb about the ACC contract staying intact even with 3 leaving is true. We don’t even know if the leavers could get out of the GOR (it sounds like Texas and OU didn’t, and will have no primary media deal next year). Tons of unknowns.

We just won the men's college basketball national championship 7 months ago. Largest tournament margin of victory ever in the 64 team tournament.

I'm sure Utah State's football team will forfeit if you remind them about UConn's basketball prowess prior to kickoff.
