No reason to take 4 when just taking 2 accomplishes the goal of ending the pac10

You actually need to read the post before you comment

I mean, if you're comparing to a $21M-$30M Pac-12 annual payout, don't you just bite the bullet?

We can dissagree but the fact is that UA brings a market. They bring great

ASU would bring most of that market, though.

I’m kind of wondering if there are any UA football fans anywhere. 🤷‍♀️

It’s not the pac 10 you compare that money to
