    Wasn't Mandel also the guy who used to repeatedly stick up for UCLA's god-awful attendance? Regardless, his continual shitting on the Big XII - talking about its corpse, and putting together an "analysis" of TV numbers so full of bias and errors I wasn't accept it from a freshman-level stats student, has been ridiculous.
  2. LTbear
    He addressed that while talking. More or less word for word was "So then we're behind 29 million a year instead of 32 million a year. Who cares."
  3. LTbear
    The way he was talking, I think they may feel that if it costs them a couple hundred million or more, so what - they'd be down that much from the lost revenue (in comparison to B1G or SEC) anyways. So get a spot in a different conference, leave knowing you'll come out even over the course of the time you had left in the GOR, and then sue or see if the ACC totally crumbles so you don't have to pay anyway.

    FSU ain't messing around. I was shocked how open they were about wanting to challenge the GOR ("it's the least of our worries").

    Absolutely insane. For the love of God what are these people doing.

    It is not true; it's just something that sounds right to people online. Grants aren't awarded for athletic association (and that's the only association that is being discussed here), and playing football against another school doesn't make a researcher suddenly realize there are people at Stanford working on similar projects and thus a collaboration could be born (any decent researcher already knows of EVERYONE in their field). FWIW, I'm a college professor who spent a combined 7 years at Stanford and Cal.

    Being in the same athletic conference as Stanford (or whoever) does not bring grant funding/ research upgrades/ etc. Any ASU researchers working on projects that overlap with Stanford researchers are building those collaborations regardless of athletics, and vice versa. Hell most researchers don't even know what athletic conference their school is in. This internet myth of "being in the same conference impacts academics" sounds right to people who aren't in academia, and as such it just refuses to die. It's like the old line of Ann Richards getting Baylor into the Big XII (it was Bullock).
  8. LTbear
    Ah, pods. The internet fan fiction that will never die, even though the B1G already adopted a much more flexible (and sensible) scheduling model.

    Numbers being presented tomorrow, expected $20mil with escalators of some sort, meeting last Thursday was very bad.

    You sure they didn't just forget to water the grass?

    McMurphy said in an interview that the Big XII has 4 pro-ratas from ESPN and 2 from FOX but they think they could get 4 from FOX with the right group. Which to me just means that the Big XII is looking at either UA, or a group of 3 that must include UO and UW.

    My man this is just a dumb take. Hell in their press conference CU mentioned exposure/ recruiting in Houston and Ohio multiple times. But back when the four were add, taking up the most oft-discussed expansion target on PAC message boards (Houston) along with 3 other new teams in new markets absolutely stabilized the Big XII to a degree beyond what simply adding BYU and UCF alone would have done.
  16. LTbear
    Adding the four is what allowed the Big XII to stick together, stabilize, and start to build momentum. I honestly have no idea how that's not abundantly obvious.
  17. LTbear
    Dumb take. Without taking those two (along with BYU and UCF) the Big XII wouldn't be in the position to get CU + any others today.

    No conference has a CFP autobid.

    New market. Nothing to suggest Utah is a better overall long-term investment when you already have BYU.
  21. LTbear
    Swap Arizona for Utah. New state/ market, elite basketball.
