Yeah, that looks awful.

Don’t do that anymore.
 
The Big East made their feelings about football schools quite clear. Can't see them ever climbing back into that bed.

I don’t want to be reminded.

I am trying to forget that and the people who think that we’re gonna be easily able to keep pace with the power schools while raking in the same amount of money as Seton Hall and Butler

Possible UConn sugar daddy billionaires in CT. Anyone know if any are UConn alums and/or care enough to pitch in a measly few million dineros to the Husky Athletic Fund?

1. It’s a step backwards from the current Big East and 2. None of the schools that have football are going to have any interest in anything like this.

1. It's better for football
2. You get to play Cal, Stanford and Gonzaga
3. About the football schools, Cal and Stanford aren't going to have interest in Boise St and San Diego St? Who else are they going to play?

Nobody is ever again going to replicate the mistake the Big East made combining football schools with non football schools. It’s not happening.

Why are we bending over backwards to make things a little better for football when basketball is already in a great situation?

People have been saying that for the last decade plus and yet the Big East was the 2nd best conference in the country last year and continues to pull in high-profile coaches and recruits through the portal. Cam Spencer left a B1G team saying he wanted a bag and he ended up at UConn. Saying basketball isn't still in a great spot is absurd.

Whether UConn got played by the Big 12 is debatable. Whether Apple got played by the Pac 12 is not. That is a company I definitely do not want to be on the bad side of. I am not sure how Apple will settle the score, but they will find a way.

You were right when you said the demise of the PAC 12 would be terrible for UConn.
 
The big question is:

By my math the MWC pays out $4m and AAC $7m. The old valued PAC turned down around $20m. ESPN is now a little boxed out of the west coast. Would they offer more than the AAC (10-15) for this combination? Doesn’t have to be this precise 10:
Oregon State
Washington State
Cal
Stanford
+SMU
+SDSU
+Fresno State
+Tulane
+Rice
+UNLV

Is that worth it to TV guys to make work?

I only got to ten, and picked random names out of a hat. You could add SJSU and then Gonzaga/UConn FB only combo in there to get to 12, or really whatever other combination you like. I’m just wondering if the dollars are there to make it worth building a new league

If the Mountain West can get $5M/team, you'd have to think that the Pac leftovers + the best teams from the MW could get at least $10M?

I mean it's less than ideal for those Pac teams but unless they drop all athletics their teams need to play somewhere right?

The end game is the NCAA goes away, the football schools are going to want the money from the basketball tournament also.
The NCAA won't be associated with Division 1 sports in a few years.
