My opinion on the conference situation is that we are completely blowing up the program if we go back to MWC or AAC. We've got to "try harder" until the next round of TV negotiations. There's more than a slim chance (IMHO) that we can right the situation in time to be in good shape for whatever happens next. The biggest factor in me thinking that is: we have NO IDEA what things will look like in terms of conference TV networks, live streaming, etc. We shoot ourselves in the foot big time going to MWC/AAC. It isn't realistic (from what I understand) to undo all the current game contracts we have in place, etc. to get into a conference in the next few years anyway.

But...I do see why you and others think it makes more sense to got to a conference as soon as possible. I just disagree for a number of reasons..
