  1. For those interested, we hosted CSU AD Joe Parker on our latest RamNation.com podcast this evening. It was all about realignment, and possibilities facing the MW and Pac-4. Listen on Spreaker here, or on most podcast platforms (search RamNation Radio). Stuff he answered/shared thoughts on: --The implosion of the Pac-12 --The direction of CFB in general --What he thinks happens with the ACC next? --Dennis Dodd's report saying SDSU attempted to pull together “some MW teams”, along with AAC teams and the remaining Pac-4 to form a “best of the rest” league in the west. --What happens next with the MW...and what he thinks is the best outcome at this point. --Is there realistic hope to entice Stanford/Cal to come along? --Whether he believes Cal/Stanford are more receptive to aligning with MW schools who aren’t in the same stratosphere academically --The possibility of power leagues swooping in to take away a CFP auto-bid and revenue from any revised Pac league --If Stanford/Cal leave…and only OSU/Wazzu remain does that dissolve that league or could those two teams still try to backfill and keep whatever leftover revenues are left for themselves? --If push came to shove, and the Pac-4 were wanting to hand-select 4-5 MW teams and a few AAC teams, for instance…would CSU consider the move? (Even at the expense of breaking conference rivalries w/ AFA and Wyo if that scenario presented itself?) --His personal level of involvement in realignment/expansion talks (how much is him vs. President Parsons and the Board of Governors) --What's happening with the league and discussions with existing TV partners during this process? --What he believes is the timeframe is for decisions on changes/membership --Thoughts on the Apple+ previous offer for the Pac-12…having a streaming-heavy deal with no guarantee for linear coverage --If there was a merger, could the new Pac league go back to Apple+ and have them be the home for the Pac Network, and have rights to all games not picked up by existing MW partners, CBS/Fox --His opinion on the prospect of adding Gonzaga and St. Mary's --Would he/the MW be open to housing Stanford Olympic sports if they end up going independent
  2. So sorry to hear that, Troy. Just from his interaction on this website, he appeared to be an awesome guy. My sincere condolences.
