Hey everyone, chart guy is back

So, from today's posts, it seems to get the Utah contingent on board, we just need to hook them up with COZI-TV access so they can watch Frazier re-runs and can get their fill of eloquent blathering??? That seems doable.

Not sure what to do for Crow at ASU though.

Cozi TV = Linear = Pac Coverage from coast to coast!

The thing is that did happen three times and rather than make up lies that the MAC is far better than the Big Ten, our fanbase was wishfully fantasizing about a slim 1% chance of a Big Ten lifeboat. I mean it actually happened and we acted nothing like Utah fans. Do you remember the Dave Wandstat rumor that he heard ISU/KU were going to big ten? Half of us didn’t believe him and the other half reacted like it was the greatest news in the history of news. Nobody reacted to that rumor that we’d rather join the MAC. I read UTAH fans posting even yesterday still that MWC would be better than B12 (they’d get 6.5x less media $).

All of it is driven by hatred of BYU but we just are somehow not remotely as filled with blind stupid hate regarding Iowa. I understand how Utah fans are being that stupid about their rival, our fan base wasn’t the several times it did happen.

I like Utah football, I’d have voted them national champion outright the one season they deserved it, and I vacation there a week most years. I was there in early July on vacation this year. I don’t hate either Utah school. Ute fans have been acting like spoiled morons and that doesn’t mean ISU fans are identical morons…if anything we know too much about realignment realities.

While we may joke about Hawk fandom being a religion, BYU actually is one. I think it just turns up that anxiety to 11.

Hey...it seems like a number of us here know what COZI-TV is and how to watch it, so they might be on to something...

If you're ASU how do you ask for athletic fundraising $ if you were content on possibly leaving $10 million on the table PER YEAR?!

Just crazy to me.

Wasn't Crow a former ISU professor?

 

[werdnamanhill]

Read as: "what's the lowest $ amount that we can give them per year"

 

[Die4Cy]

Read that to mean, "What's the lowest number we can get you to jump at?"

It is kinda funny to think about have over ten years ago uneven revenue sharing was a common reason teams cited for leaving. Now ten years later teams in the ACC are mad they have even revenue sharing. Just shows you that greed is the official driver of modern college football.

Unequal revenue suggestions are a harbinger of doom for a conference, and has yet to work.

• The B12 gave it a try and the result was everyone who was receiving more bolted anyway.
• It seemed like it might be the trick to keeping the PAC together, but it doesn't look like even that will work.
• Some ACC schools seem to be inching towards demanding it, even though they have zero leverage and there's no chance they stay in the conference once they figure a way out of the GOR.

If the B10's next media deal is relatively flat, how much do you bet certain institutions in the B10 and SEC will start floating the idea?

Damn dude it's like we share a brain or something.

Do Nebraska, Rutgers and Maryland get equal shares currently? I know they did not to begin with.

Just crazy to me.

Or, how do you ask your university to subsidize, or justify the general university subsidizing, the athletic department when the AD leaves millions on the table?

I was going to say I literally read both of those at the same time and was like WTF lol

Accepting unequal distributions is just an admission that your conference is gong to come apart soon. We know about this, unfortunately.

Spinach is great. Arugula is better.

No way. The best way to eat arugula is to throw it in the trash.
