It does need the money badly but the state has botched the whole stadium thing to where it could cost the school dearly.

Honestly, yes, the PAC should invite Hawaii

Great points. B12 should offer Hawaii that deal.

Geographically the PAC has an advantage there... but yes, the Big 12 could (and probably should) do the same

krindorr

The Big 12 could get in 5 time zones!

I agree. The PAC could broadcast it's Week 0 games all day long on major

Didn't even consider that point, but I'm going back and adding it now

krindorr

I know it used to be when you played at Hawaii you could schedule one extra home

crimedog

Yes

Not specific to home/away, just that you can play a 13th game

They should offer the same deal to SDSU.

3/29/23 8:32am

SDSU doesn't bring the same advantages as Hawaii - there's no SDSU Rule

I think offering 6 games a year at ~$6M would be better. It’s not a good TV slot

Yeah, I'd be open to that instead. There's clearly specifics to be worked out... but the basic framework is there

krindorr

3/29/23 8:47am

I’d be fine with 6 games at $8M I suppose, but it’s not my money…

If you put it in the afternoon in Hawaii, it's the late spot that the Big 12

Why do you think Hawaii home games are worth so little now but would be worth more after a scheduling agreement?

BYU games were worth $5M/yr, but give us better opponents and now they're worth $32M/yr

krindorr

Anyone source that you are receiving that BYU was only getting $5 million a year should be dropped immediately.

That was for 2019-2020... and it was from BYU's financial report that BYU released

Hawaii is in a very bad position

runningryan

3/29/23 10:47am

Yup, which is kind of a double-edged sword, but everything you said is arguably a reason to do this

Right now yes but a new 35K stadium will be built on the Aloha Stadium grounds

CameronG

3/29/23 11:11am

That is actually a really good idea and would be a win-win

But what are their academics?

ldssdl

3/29/23 12:06pm

Honestly, pretty decent (at least on the research side)

krindorr

3/29/23 12:09pm

Interesting for sure. How do they get 8 home games per year from PAC schools?

BamaCoug

3/29/23 12:17pm

Correct, Hawaii would very rarely go on the road

krindorr
