Sorry to see him go. Me too, despite his limitations (which I think we’ve gone over enough). Curious to see where he lands and whether a different system will suit his strengths better than Tommy’s did. Speculation is that he is going to X to be with CSM. Taking Anderson with him too from what I re...

CTL has to start landing these HS/international targets. We're probably not upgrading from the portal. Best case scenario is everyone returns and we make another run at it. Hopefully they focus on improving in the offseason as Zu was saying. Why would you say that? The portal will continue to fill ...

I'm OK with that, but does the Big-12 think that arenas and stadiums are the same thing?

Probably because both venues are acceptable sites to host a rodeo.

Those only count linear games so no PAC channel games numbers are included. We had I think two network games, SDST and ASSU so our numbers are way down but the point of the lack of viewers in the conference/west is accurate Yes, and the disaster of the Pac-12 network and lack of access was a major ...

If it’s down to ESPN as the only major media outlet with interest we are borked. Why would ESPN pay for the rights to 10/12 Pac teams when it could force 4/6 desirable Pac schools to the Big12? They can maintain games in the pacific time zone without floating two conferences. George better get CBS ...

From the article: "• For the Pac-12, the expansion decision will be driven by media value. The conference needs to add TV households and inventory to replace the loss of USC and UCLA.

The B1G expands to the Bay Area and the PAC NW to keep the LA schools happy with travel partners. That's not happening this round, unless the BIG12 delivers the death blow by taking the 4-corner PAC schools.

You are so out of touch with reality. This forum is dumber for having you post never ending drivel in this thread. Nothing you post has a shred of accuracy to it let alone rational thought.
