Was the original source just playing to a new audience? Seems like a guy working

I listened to the podcast it was an ESPN executive quote based upon the size and

Go listen to the 364 podcast he wasn’t really pushing BYU

I think you are misunderstanding me as we seem to be agreeing. Kurtz is just

So if we're worth an additional 4 million for 11 other schools does that mean

Why are you summing what we were paid + our incremental value? Our estimated

Nice piece

That was a straight up take down of PAC 12 presidents historically. And spot on.
