Even Gonzaga, the ultimate cinderella (along with Butler), has been upset a few times. That doesn't take away from the strength of their program and what they've built.

Unequal distribution of post-season money. And no, they aren't going to get it.

It's a reasonable request by Gonzaga but one I assume the small athletic programs of the WCC can't live with.

How will they live without it?

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

True. The demands need to come from the WCC, not from Gonzaga.

BYU FB funds sports dept, WCC schools Bball funds the sports dept quite a juggle

Considering most WCC teams would never get beyond the first round

CaliWG

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.

Gonz may get most of what they want with possible BYU/gonzag gamble for MWC

What they actually want is a commitment to use the basketball money that zaga

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.

rcbyufan

Although, if the threat to leave is real and imminent, Zags might get something

Crazy that Gonzaga earned each WCC school $876k with their tourny run last year

i wonder if the zags lose a signicant amount of leverage if they get bounced

This isn't true

CaliWG

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

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

To start - coaching staff salaries, recruiting budget
