Really really interesting stuff from Commissioner Aresco. Everything from the TV deal to schools producing their own content for ADN to responding to NIU AD comments on P6. Also exploring a partnership with anothe conference on officiating. Offices might move from Providence to Dallas

Not that it really matters, but do we really want to move the office from the far northeastern point to the furthest western point? Are there no options in between? Reason 98376983476 we are a bad fit here.

he talks about it in there but its where the CFP is located and there are multiple other conferences there. And we have a conference member in the actual city so teams/universities are constantly coming to the Dallas area. It makes sense.

Also a major hub of US's largest airline. I would think every conference teams has a city with direct flights in to Dallas regularly.

yup he mentions that too. Makes a lot of sense. Basically said they signed a deal right before the old Big East broke up so they kept offices in Providence but its been known to everyone they were going to move eventually

He's doing a nice job. Standing up for the conf. both in football and basketball. He acknowledges the cash disparity and the exposure of the conference of the current deal. Hints that a online company may be an option.

"Not flagship universities... for the most part." Exactly. We aren't a great fit geographically or demographically.

Re: self produced broadcast/ OTT content - "Want ever event played to be available."

***Potential Consortium with another conference??!!*** Sounds like a P5 conference. Not a merger... probably shared officiating and maybe a scheduling deal.

Good listen. Thanks for posting.

At least more sense than Providence. Plus I’m sure he needs some $ to move his own residence.
