I think you're right about that, but it's in the presentation.

Considering most WCC teams would never get beyond the first round

I'd take it a step further and say 100% beyond the first round

And Gonzaga thinks they will get that in the MWC?

Boise got it for football. But even if they don't, there is a more competitive league to compensate.

i don't know how they are gonna compel schools to do that.

johnnycarson

3/13/18 9:07am

They can't. And the other schools have said as much. Hence, zaga might leave.

Thanks for clarifying that. I always thought it meant equal investment, as well.

Reinvested in what? Bigger arenas? BYU has athletic resources bigger
