Exposure, which is exactly why UW pulled the plug on the Pac offer, and UO quickly followed.

 

Maybe OSU & WSU will begin to understand?

“Whether they (New Pac-12) get $10 million a school or $12 million, they are so far behind the (Power) leagues that it’s all on the margins,” an industry source said.

 

Put another way: Even the high end of the projected revenue range won’t provide Pac-12 schools with the resources needed to compete with the ACC, Big 12, Big Ten or SEC; nor will it create a material advantage over the American.

 

Beavis is in a tough spot...

 

 

Exposure? Exactly. It's all about Eyes on the Prize, how many are tuning in to watch a team play ball?

 

One G5 game made the list of the 50 most-watched last season: Army vs. Navy on a Saturday when it was the only game being broadcast.

 

OSU and WSU could align with the best G5 teams and the result would still be a G6 program. 

I don’t understand why the now fractured Mountain West, and PAC can’t come to terms with reality, and unite together for survival. Geographically, and economically it makes too much sense. 
 

There are obviously attorneys involved, and they thrive on creating conflict. Conflict simply means more billable hours they can charge to their respective “clients”.  
 

In the end, who are the real winners? It has the appearance that the winners will be the law firm that racks up the most billing hours.
