Firmly entrenched.
I have no clue what that poster is talking about.
I'm fascinated how you were able to twist that into me complaining a hot dog is too expensive. Honestly I'm impressed.
Make your point. You started with this comment.
"Tickets get more expensive, food gets more expensive. Wouldn't this just be the expectation?"
Agree. A smart business decision. Promotion of the Big12 as the elite basketball conference can have an immediate impact on revenue and only help recruiting and adding top portal kids. Which will perpetuate the Big12's top spot.
That's half of the equation. The other half is attendance, which was up for both the men's and women's tournament year over year...which would lead one to think that the product the Big 12 is offering is something people are interested in.
It is an interesting twist to Pac12's future that the Oregon Ducks next president is coming from Wisconsin. But he doesn't take over until July 1 though.
Greg Flugaur did a vlog on this topic this morning. The other curious part was the Interim Oregon President who has been part of Pac12 realignment discussions is stepping down immediately and Oregon's CFO will take over interim President responsibilities until July 1. So a money person will make the decision on the Pac12 TV deal vs. an academic.
The other interesting president change I had forgotten about was Oregon's former president is now at Northwestern.
The old prez may know something and doesn’t want to be the person who changes conferences and then takes off. Or it could be nothing.
The old Oregon President started at Northwestern last September. It was a sad twist as NW had hired a new President from Wisconsin, but she had to step down (Mid-July) the day she was scheduled to start to receive treatment for cancer.
I would suspect Oregon's old President had interviewed for the NW job (before USC/UCLA announced they were leaving for Big10), but didn't get it. But after the selected person got sick, got the job.
In all honesty, I think it's just a matter of perspective. When I read his comment, I thought, "That certainly helped the bottom line." I didn't see it as complaining. But, then again, it was my perspective.
You could be totally right, but the first comment didn't lead me to that direction.
If I'm wrong then I'm wrong.
Why would we turn down either Cuse or Louisville if offered by ESPN?
Between two choices of ACC loses no schools until near 2036 or Big 12 adds whatever is needed to remove ACC, it’s an easy choice

All we know for sure is Kansas State and Iowa State are the main forces working to get Oregon to the Big Ten and have been all along. Dirty truck stop gangster puppet masters.
Geez I took a lot of ‘Dumbs’ and was called an idiot for saying this about 4-6 weeks ago. And this is a b1g pod. Interesting. https://spotify.link/8EXBCcZAayb

Not unanimous between the schools on expansion. Warren and the presidents were butting heads over it which contributed to his departure. The big takeaway, do schools not named OSU want USC-type schools coming in and having success which could lead to the upper echelon schools questioning whether the lower tier schools either belong in the conference or deserve the same money.Only an idiot posts a B1G podcast and doesn't summarize for us.
Another good pod with an ASU guest. He’s incredibly blunt. https://spotify.link/NO1oq7UDayb
