  1. I am guessing my hanging low and really not engaging in on this is paying off…
  2. As this drags on, at what point do think the ESPN offer is not viable? I get that the lowball is there as a way to provide themselves a “fuck it at this price why not” out, but we are approaching the need to potentially have to fully rethink the value of live sports in general. What segments and matchups are going to continue to have value and more interesting how do you leverage that value as we see a shift in how media ad revenue is generated. Does the WAC10 have value to ESPN that is greater than cementing the final iteration of the near term outlook of what CFB is going to be? 5 years from now is there going to be enough value there to offset the risk of the current big 3 walking away and forming their own division at the cost of potentially both the B12 and WAC10. I ask this because at some point a split is coming in CFB and when that happens the more conferences are willing to play ball with the networks on how the leftovers are treated, ie are they completely ignored like DivII, relegated to a limited cutoff like the FCS or treated as a token player like the G5. The value of those games in the mid and longterm is going to hinge not on the NCAA but the power 3 or 4 that split off. At what point by keeping the lowball offer on the table does ESPN risk the potential value of both the B12 and WAC10. If the WAC10 gets to hang out in zombie mode, does the B12 without Texas and OU get to split off with the other 3? Is it worth it to add the B12 and the flyover territory to the pool vs the expected payout? By not finishing one of them off both are likely at risk, and how does that risk transfer over to ESPN. This is also why I think there might be some truth to a back door FOX deal just to potentially screw ESPN by leaving them with a huge inventory of brands that all of a sudden lose a ton of value if the B12 and WAC10 get left behind.
  3. That was a complete nothing piece with the biggest thing of value is now knowing that there won’t be a real offer by the April 15th date… So once again, what is the real drop dead date, not for the PAC 12 l, but for acceptance into the Big 12? Is it June 1st to set up a full one year as a lame duck school? Is it later than that? I always thought the April 1st date as essentially there to help calm nerves before the last couple of BOT meetings of the academic to keep someone from going rouge during the summer. If that isn’t going to happen, then what does that signal to everyone?
  4. All the while with one of the best backs in the SEC. So my guess is Weigman will be solidish, RB way worse, OL better ( can it be worse) and WR/TE solid but way thin. With Petrino running the O I am curious how this works out or if Jimbo even lets it happen…
  5. This was still more informative than anything from ketch or the 9.95 crew…
  6. Anything about Deuce Robinson? Still looking at the April 1 date? Seems odd that being one of the top prospects left on the board it it has gone pretty much radio silent for any news at this point.
  7. Its all I ask for anyone coaching here… do good… on the court, in the community, in recruiting, and in the win column.
  8. So you are telling me Addazio is a dick, Kam is a pussy, and the OL is a fucking mess... How is this anything new?
  9. I agree... With the Oats debacle at Bama and the teams making big runs being mid-majors, who is the big name CDC could poach to make it worthwhile not to give him a chance? It is not like if by 2025 Terry has been less than stellar we can't go and look to upgrade. The Beard debacle made it very hard to not pick someone that is squeaky clean, and unless Billy Donovan was willing to move, there isn't any real options at this point to make it vaiable to move off of Terry who just made it to the E8.
  10. The refs are trying so damn hard to help Xaivier... but Xavier is like... NOPE
  11. Since its half time, lets look at something half way there...
