GK stays radio silent through this whole process, but wants you to know

Or they need more inventory for the TV deal to be bigger and want pansies who

inertiaman

2/7/23 7:56pm

This seems more likely

threezeroeight

2/7/23 7:59pm

Right, but why keep saying expansion comes after the TV deal is done?

CougarCanuck76

2/7/23 8:00pm

Maybe the tv deal couldn't get done without expansion first

machete

2/7/23 8:02pm

This is the correct answer

inertiaman

2/7/23 8:06pm

Again, why say it loud and clear, numerous times over and over

CougarCanuck76

2/7/23 8:13pm

Sounds like something changer for sure. My guess is it was an inventory problem

machete

2/8/23 9:27am

That is my guess as well.

I can't buy that. SDSU and SMU are not needed to get a deal done since they

Corn Pop

2/7/23 8:09pm

They add value, just not equivalent value. But that still works if the PAC

inertiaman

2/7/23 8:11pm

We know their current value, and it's WAAAYYYYY below the PAC.

Corn Pop

2/7/23 8:19pm

This. What do they add to the pie? $15K?

YOHONOMOTO

2/7/23 8:41pm

No, SDSU and SMU add no value whatsoever

therock

2/7/23 8:35pm

Also a plausible explanation.

BlooCoog

2/7/23 8:12pm

Another possibility is the TV networks have told him they need expansion with

BlooCoog

2/7/23 8:01pm

Pretty confident that TV isn't impacted by the additions of SDSU and SMU

CougarCanuck76

2/7/23 8:05pm

True. Neither team moves the needle financially. Really weird that this news

BlooCoog

2/7/23 8:11pm

It's not a good look for the PAC.

Corn Pop

2/7/23 8:20pm

I don't see it either, but what other explanation is there for inviting SMU and SDSU?

2/7/23 10:19pm

I mean maybe, but no one thinks SDSU and SMU turn down the PAC

Socrates Johnson

I know everyone says markets don’t matter anymore, but they do. SDSU brings

Cougzilla

2/7/23 9:04pm

Market size matters when you are running a conference network and your team is

Socrates Johnson

2/7/23 9:13pm

I agree with all of that but it's undeniable that nearly all of the recent

Cougzilla

2/7/23 9:27pm

Utah was a long time ago now though. You could be right but if the P12 is still

Socrates Johnson

2/7/23 9:48pm

It's how big 12 leadership thought when they invited Cincinnati, BYU and UCF.

Cougzilla

2/7/23 9:53pm

I don’t think that was it; but I could be wrong.

Socrates Johnson

2/7/23 9:58pm

I don't want to split hairs here, I agree with all of that as well. But if ucf

Cougzilla

2/8/23 6:50am

Ok. Here’s the difference. SDSU has literally nothing going for it BUT market

Socrates Johnson

2/8/23 6:56am

I agree and you are literally proving my point. All these schools have to offer

Cougzilla

2/8/23 7:51am

I was under the impression we were discussing whether the B12 used the same

Socrates Johnson

2/8/23 7:53am

Yes the schools the big 12 invited offered more than just markets, but

Cougzilla

2/8/23 8:08am

Utah benefited from the 12 team rule. Keep in mind, the PAC made one last ditch

Corn Pop

2/7/23 10:01pm

That's true but if markets didn't matter what add Utah specifically?

Cougzilla

2/8/23 7:56am

I feel like we're talking in circles. Nobody is saying those things don't

Corn Pop

2/8/23 8:17am

Every post responding to my original post says markets don't matter anymore.

Cougzilla

2/8/23 8:47am

Stating that Rutgers being geographically located in the NYC market would not

Corn Pop

2/8/23 9:00am

How do you know Rutgers wouldnt be considered? SMU is currently being considered

Cougzilla

2/8/23 9:19am

Yes, the PAC is desperate. The B10 is not. The B10 won't even invite UO and UW

Corn Pop

2/8/23 9:27am

That was true when people paid cable subscriptions and channel owners

Corn Pop

2/7/23 9:19pm

Back to my original post, I know everyone says that, but they are still looking

Cougzilla

2/7/23 9:30pm

We know that the B12 was told 8 teams wasn't enough, that they had to have more

Corn Pop

2/7/23 9:43pm

I agree but my point still stands. They are expanding with these 2 schools to

Cougzilla

2/7/23 9:46pm

It is weird that they would choose SDSU and SMU over Boise however.

Socrates Johnson

2/7/23 9:49pm

I live in San Diego and the support for SDSU is almost 0 here.

SausageKing

2/7/23 9:22pm

It's an investment in a large market. SDSU with P5 resources and good leadership

Cougzilla

2/7/23 9:32pm

Oh yeah, and SDSU and TCU ensured that the Mtn. was on basic tier cable back in

Six Foot Seven

2/7/23 9:24pm

Just 2 huge markets and more inventory.... Doesn't make it a good move though.

Cougzilla

2/7/23 9:33pm

But the people in San Diego don't care about the Aztecs

davidsonlaw

2/7/23 9:45pm

It's an investment.

Cougzilla

2/7/23 9:49pm

That’s a lot of conjecture…

Refugee

2/7/23 9:08pm

Oh, it is almost nothing but conjecture

HuskerFan2

2/7/23 9:19pm

Reality is Big12 takes most of the PAC schools, up to 4-6, anytime. No rush for

NYC and Japan

2/7/23 9:25pm

IF the PAC adds two schools at some point, I think PERCEPTION may
