  1. That is not what it says when I look at it, nor do I know anyone outside of maybe some here that would rank it that way.. But on second glance you could take out fbs independents since that’s not a conference so really it’s 8th best, not 9th.
  2. It shouldn’t take balls to speak the truth, which is all that happened. Understand your shortcomings on the matter may make that difficult to understand.. luckily for you blissful ignorance is there to keep you warm at night. Chest puffing…lol
  3. It was edited. Either way the point stands. Love March madness and love how the mwc has done lately but we know football rules the roost and the MWC was rated as the 9th best conference last season, and not much momentum to do better next season. Any talk of being top 4 or 5 at anything is silly right now.
  4. Men are more likely to be the victim of violence than women.
  5. It’s (basketball credits) not that much money, and the pac can’t afford to buy anyone out to join their league anyway. Certainly not worth dying on the vine over, which is going to happen to the P2 if they don’t move to a conference after their already-earned money dries up. The problem is there’s no future/additional revenue. There’s still some they can keep that’s already been earned but that moneys already budgeted. They need new money .
  6. You’re the one saying the mwc is the fourth best conference…
  7. That’s not enough money to entice anyone to join their ragtag troop. Total of $65m isn’t that much when you have no other revenue aside from ticket sales.
  8. This is the exact kind of thread that ruins it for everyone. If usu and sdsu both lose and all 5 xii schools move onto the sweet sixteen I’m blaming OP.
  9. Fringe top 6 until ACC goes under… And the acc has already gone west once, I wouldn’t write them off going west again.
  10. The PAC is literally feeding on its remains to keep going beyond June 30th. Normal people get this. I’ll leave it to the English majors and those who take themselves too seriously to debate whether it should be a figurative argument since one can be fed money but can’t eat it…either way it seems about as relevant as the PAC these days.
  11. The PAC is dead. Literally feeding off its own carcass with no future. The MWC has more value now.
  12. When the writing was on the wall with all of this a year ago I suggested calling it the PAC WEST and got down voted to oblivion for even suggesting a merger. How the turn tables….
  13. I get it. I understand the logic you’re presenting but that’s a good way to turn your league into a one bid league. If there are perpetual bottom feeders then put in covenants to penalize them by removing their credits and spreading it equally amongst the schools that are trying. The MWC will become the WCC if what you propose comes to pass.
  14. This is good in theory but at the same time it’s dangerous to take away revenue from the conference right now because bowl games, sources of additional revenue, are changing as we know them. Now with the expanded playoffs most bowl games are going to be rendered impotent from an advertising/attendance/revenue perspective-they’ve already been in decline except for the top ones. The number of historical revenue streams are drying up, particularly for the non p4 conferences. Under the proposed model I would expect budget cuts from the conference to include traveling expenses should you go this route.
  15. I’m surprised how many are for this. Partial shares to new members on a temporary basis is one thing but uneven distribution ensures a slow death of the conference. I don’t understand the utility as there’s no conference swooping in to poach the better performers so why create an imbalance? If anything there should be a penalty to chronic underperformers, not sure what that looks like though.
  16. I’ve read that the going plan is for top 4 seeds to be byes, not just the top 2. Not sure where they’re getting that from.
  17. In terms of ambition, CUSA has proven to be a better source of upward mobility. Not sure about the specifics of their respective media deals but I do anecdotally see more CUSA games on than MAC personally.
  18. Credit to AF, CSU, and Nevada but the MWC’s social presence is really lacking.
  19. There’s only one place he’d possibly go to and if he does so be it. I don’t care, we make the coaches not the other way around. Personally, I feel like he’s retiring a Knight but can never discount the call to home…even if it’s not a better situation (RIP Frost).
  20. Not trying to spam the board but good win tonight…it’s just amazing how good the XII is, it’s better than I expected across the board. Looking forward to baseball kicking into gear here too. Good times.
  21. Their arena is really small, doesn’t mean necessarily that they have a small fanbase. Duke has a smaller arena than us, does that mean they have a smaller fanbase than ucf? That said specifically Houston does have a very fair weather fanbase as a whole, particularly in football. They do have upside that none of the leftover 8 or most of the pac 4 have though.
  22. It may not seem like it to you and I know you don’t care anyway but I’m rooting for you guys next season. I hope Nelson is real..
