Wilner not so much rainbows and unicorns:
"...Wilner: Two things can be equally true and, in the Hotline’s opinion, are equally true:
Colorado, Utah, Arizona and ASU much prefer to remain in the Pac-12.
The four schools must perform their due diligence and keep their options open in case Commissioner George Kliavkoff presents an untenable media rights deal.
We have no doubt the Buffaloes have met with Big 12 representatives. In that regard, the media narrative is more than smoke.
But meeting with Big 12 representatives and preferring the Big 12 are two different things. From that standpoint, much of what you hear and read is smoke.
Chancellor Phil DiStefano said earlier this spring that he was content to wait for Kliavkoff to present the schools with an offer. We have no reason to believe his view has changed.
If the offer is reasonable, the Buffaloes will remain in the conference. If not, they will leave. And that’s true for other schools, as well.
The Hotline continues to expect a reasonable offer.
That said, nothing is certain until the schools sign on the bottom line...."
What a putz.
For months his line has been that no schools would leave the PAC 12 for the Big 12.
Now it’s, well they may leave, but they don’t want to.
Asshole.

This is pretty damn significant. This isn’t WSU or OSU or even ASU we’re talking about. This is UDUB taking a big ass hit to their athletic budget.
I don’t see the PacX surviving if this is happening at UDUB and other schools.

. They will wait until early July to sign the deal. The reason they will wait is so that they CANNOT expand. They can't afford to expand. By waiting until after the end of June, SDSU's buyout increases significantly. The PACX wants to have an excuse as to why they are'nt going to add SDSU or anybody else.
The Pac 10 isn't going to risk further bad PR and possibly losing impatient members to appease SDSU with a convenient excuse as to why they aren't invited to join.

WSU president claims their media deal will be done in 2 weeks.
The PAC 10 TV Deal has been two weeks away for the past 8 months:

Wonder if they have any sponsors lined up for that possible bowl game, the Cartel Bowl perhaps?
You guys are slipping.
The obvious answer is the Kraft Monterrey Jack Cheese Bowl.

No offense but the source for that story is Greg Swaim. I'd sooner believe my mom came back from the dead and broke this news.
Yeah, that's on par with that WVU twitter fan m'ver (or whatever his name is).

Their fans talk about how being in the PAC got them into the AAU and increased their research $ substantially.
That line of thinking just blows my mind. Maybe being in the PAC got them the nomination/sponsorship from a PAC AAU school and the votes from other PAC AAU schools, but the way the AAU works is you have to have the research dollars first to even qualify to be nominated. Joining an athletic conference does not provide a mechanism to increase your research dollars. And I seriously doubt Cal, Stanford, or one of the other AAU PAC schools gave a shit that Utah was in their athletic conference when it came time for AAU consideration. Maybe I'm wrong, but it just seems the AAU thing is only related to athletic conference alignment if you have it to begin with.

That's a good way of looking at it. The numbers do make sense, and even moreso if you factor in two more things:
1. There's a bit of a premium in the deal to grease the wheels for UT and OU to the SEC a year early. That's just smart business for everyone.
2. By paying the B12 at this rate, it becomes easy to kill the PAC by lowballing them. Schools will essentially be forced to jump. If they get CU, UA and ASU, when you combine them with BYU, you've got enough late-night games to give ESPN the "After Dark" window by only paying 3 PAC teams instead of 10.
And I love that you left out UU in that. I didn't know or think much about Utah before all this happened, but I have grown to dislike their fanbase quite a bit the past few months. They appear to be more delusional and arrogant than aggy...and that's saying something.

This makes so much sense, and there is not one logical reason why it should not be this way.
However, there is one illogical reason, and unfortunately it trumps everything....EGO.
Too many egos in college football to ever allow this structure to happen.

Nope.
24 in the SEC and 24 in the B1G. Their champs will play for the national title and control all of the meaningful postseason TV revenue. That is the path we are on. Nothing will stop it now.
Fuck the fans. Fuck the old rivalries. Fuck college football.
NFL Light!

Ketch has decided to wade into the hornet's nest and actively argue with the staff and posters on the Tech rivals site in a thread about him. I did not expect to be this entertained this morning.
I let my Rivals sub die on the vine probably 6-7+ years ago (about the time Aaron starting to get a big head and think he was the BMOC...the place started to suck when Robert G. left, but when Aaron decided he was a demi-god about all things RRS, I had had enough).
This, however, may entice me to sign back up.

The mega conferences just fast track the destruction of college football as it has been. No longer a regional game. Just a semi-pro, loose school affiliated minor league system. With the online class offerings I'm betting there are athletes now that don't step into campus classrooms their entire time at a school.
And the sad thing is, we have posters right here at Surly who welcome this new paradigm. They want NFL 2.0, or NFL Minor League, or NFL Light....whatever you want to call it.
Just another example of people not understanding their brand and their market position. College football was unique from the NFL, and it was that uniqueness that appealed to so many. Yet, it is that uniqueness that people are wanting to eliminate in favor of a 32 team super league (maybe, just maybe, if they would expand it to 64 teams they can retain some of what people love about college football, but I'm doubtful they will and even at 64 it may still be such a change that the uniqueness of college football will still be lost). A lot of that college atmosphere that people loved has already been eliminated via mega jumbotrons, less band playing in favor of more canned music through the jumbtron, advertising in the stadium everytime the clock stops, etc.

Does the PGA Pro (Block) get paid in this tournament ??
I think so. He’s not an amateur and he made the cut. Give the man his money.
in addition, if he finishes in top 15 he’s an automatic qualifier for next year.
