TI just feel like money has diminished return. The most successful teams aren't necessarily the richest. Don't get me wrong you need a certain level but once you have that then putting yourself at a competitive disadvantage for more money seems dumb.
As far as where the rights go I just want whatever makes it easiest to access north of the border. I hope Kliavkoff keeps me in mind
It's not just the immediate $ payoff that matters. All of the blue bloods are consolidating into two super conferences. If UW wants to be one, they have to join. The west is already bleeding talent and relevance eastward. Imagine how bad that's going to be when the two relevant LA schools leave the west as well?
I don't want to fight for tallest midget status with an outside shot at upsetting someone in the playoffs with our scrappy band of 3* recruits and portal castoffs from the super leagues. That sounds pretty lame.
If Clemson, FSU, and Miami join the SEC everything is fucked and UW should sell its soul to get into the B1G.[/b]
But that hasn't happened yet, and the ACC has more titles recently than the B1G does.
If the ACC survives, so does the PAC. We are still a long ways off from two super conferences.
This scenario is the central assumption for me. I'm not sure I'd change my mind if it were taken away but I'd reevaluate.
I just don't see it. Both FSU and Clemson proved they can go head to head with the SEC on the biggest stage and win natties.
Why would they give up an easier path to consistent playoffs for a few extra millions? I don't think they will
