Message: [QUOTE="UConNation, post: 2142727, member: 2931"] Cool story, bruh. I love internet message boards where internet warriors like yourself immediately try to make personal attacks rather than address the actual issue with a logical argument. I'm not going to take the bait, but I will respond, like a reasonable person would - It is a logical move if you consider the fact that our TV contract rights are up for negotiation soon and Wichita can likely get us more money in that negotiation. If you want to argue how much, fine, because neither one of us know how much that will be. But I would counter with saying we should wait and see what their share of the pie is going to be, because I doubt that it'll be as much as the football members. I think financially it'll be a wash (at worst) under the new contract, and that's before you factor in WSU's tourney credits. But from a basketball perspective it's even more logical to add them. Like I said a before, adding WSU to the conference helps our conference with tourney credits and all of the associated RPI metrics for the entire conference. We don't have to like the fact that they're being added, or like the fact that adding WSU helps our conference, but it doesn't make it any less logical whichever way you look at it. [/QUOTE]
