The SCHOOL has a billion in debt, thanks to a construction boom on campus having nothing to do with the athletic dept. Second, the payback would/could come out of the sudden jump in TV revenues. Same arrangement Maryland has. And Texas is in no way that charitable. Not a difficult concept....even for you. 1 Quote It gives me a headache just trying to think down to your level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not animosity, it’s the same mindset for putting ou and texas in separate divisions, just silly because nobody coming into the Big12 is worried about them except for maybe baylor in basketball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas isn’t bankrolling OU. Quit being ridiculous. And Maryland is broke at the athletic level, terrible example for your argument at least.

Even though MW tv contract isnt the best it's still better than the WCC's. Plus they are starting to get worried about scheduling good OOC opponents as well. Apparently a lot of the teams like Duke, Texas Tech, and etc didn't wanna travel so far out west just to play a game against us. At least playing in the MWC will give us some decent teams to play against within the season. I really hope this is true. I have always said that the idea of Gonzaga joining the MWC as a full member is a pipe dream for institutional reasons. They are a perfect fit among the small, private, mostly religious schools in the WCC. They would be an extremely strange fit among the large public universities in the MWC. It's just not happening. But some kind of basketball scheduling agreement, on the other hand, could be very advantageous for both sides. I'm not sure how the details of such an agreement would work, but I hope both sides can make it happen. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys had your chance to join the MWC and passed on it so are you saying that's still in the cards somewhere down the road? Gonzaga should also be cognizant of the possibility that both SDSU and Boise State (if its football program doesn't take a big dump) will be invited to the B12 before the end of the decade. Just how good would the MWC's next TV deal be if that was to happen? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crixus Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 In another move, this one on the east coast. Stony Brook, Monmouth and Hampton will all join the Colonial Athletic Association. The CAA recently lost James Madison, but they'll pick up these three programs beginning this July. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
