    UnderArmour was paying Cal 86 million? And backed out? UCLA for 280m for 15 years? and wanting out? Jesus. Shit's reconciling way more than was apparent, at least to me, but it makes sense. UA wants people to see their stuff. If no one watches, they aren't going to pay. A lot like ESPN and FOX.

    Every rush song straddles the fence between brilliance and obnoxiousness. The constant oscillation is exhausting. Also, no way Neal Pert = John Bonham

    wow.

    That's fair. ...and only works with a payoff (enrollment, attractiveness, etc.). Stanford and Cal don't need that any more than Harvard or MIT do. 100% ego driven, right up until it's not and you have to ask your regents for endowment money. I'm still befuddled at the arrogance and hubris in some of these school's perceptions of what their entitlement is v what they deserve. Stanford is pretty securely the best athletic program in the country. But that doesn't translate to media value. No one but chess players care if they are the best chess players in the country. And that never occurs to them. They can't process it. SouthCarolina operating at a deficit knowing their football program is marketing for their SECSECSEC University is one thing. CAL in the red is not Cal's standard. ahem.

    IN. Can we turn it into degenerate gambling? 10 for number 1 pick, 9 for 2, 8...End ranking minus your pick #1 team ends up #1 = 0. #10 team ends up #1 = 9, #1 team ends up #10, -9. Goal = smallest delta... I'm no smarty, but I'd kick in $100. Or just pick each week.

    LoneStar hinterlands is amazing. UK gets atm...if not geography.

    Fucking this. I hear debt/red numbers from Pac and I'm stunned. If Tech can operate with an 11m surplus, how can these self appointed geniuses so thoroughly fuck themselves? Texas: don't have it, don't spend it. West coast: don't have it, we deserve it. *I love the west coast. Lived in Cali for almost 20 years. Doesn't mean the politics and education there aren't beyond dumb. **don't neg me, RIMBO.

    Farting dreamer neg incoming. Prepare your...something.

    I bet farting dreamer hands out more neg rep per capita than anyone else on Surly. BYU is like an angry gnat with a fatwa against everyone who doesn't soak their soakables.

    If I'm a fox lawyer, owing 1 cool billion in legal settlements after news shenanigans, I'm shitting my pants with "speculation" I tampered with the outcome of this.

    Man. That's really too alliterative. Can't get it out of my head. Not cool.

    I always enjoy a good OkieSt Tech game. Before, it was the also rans. Now, it just means more....

    Nap-worthy sports tv is gold.

    "Fox's bid was for a package of just 13 football games, for which it said it would pay around $35-$40 million per year." - #holyfuck

    TEXAS*st Fightn' Shaggy Bevs?
  19. Welshy
    They are part of the 3b endowment from the state of Texas, netting them something like 24m a year for research. A dick that big needs to be wagged.
  20. Welshy
    Sigh.
  21. Welshy
    Fair. I was not coherent. Apologies all around.

    I like the broad nature of this post. Fuck em indeed.

    They are spot on, the just didn't go into the politics of it all. Overriding theme: PAC did this to themselves at every step. And not in hindsight...wrong decisions at every step, fueled by arrogance and hubris. Mostly from Stanford and Cal, but some from shitty two-faced blockage from USC. Makes me angry, what could have been...UT should be in the PAC (old PAC). WAY more aligned with Cal, UCLA, USC, UW, OU UO than...Bamer? Vanderbilt? GA? MsSt., OMiss, Missouri? UF? Souf Carolina? Auburn? Fuck that.
  25. Welshy
    Yes. And there are still only two schools at the top. Like the former big12 (despite UT or OU being at the top for several years). Or The BIG with OHSt. and Michigan. Or the former PAC with UU and UO and once upon a time, USC. None of this is about Equity or "Leveling the Field." It's about viewers. Evidenced completely by Ut's value vs its results on the field. No one cares if you are good. They care if people watch.
