Actually KW used to do a lot of these types of events on Campus during his tenure.

Yeah, and some indication if Gonzaga commits to PAC12 that St Mary's would also come along.

Just not seeing a huge interest in new PAC12 by TV networks/streaming services, it is basically the MWC. And now have gotten rejected by some AAC teams for now, plus getting rejected by UNLV & SJ State, so most likely the last few teams will be real stretches for football.

Still not sure why the remaining PAC12/MWC did not merge together, but like everything with college sports these days I am sure totally was about money.

Maybe I am wrong, but just not seeing the draw. of new PAC12.

While a merger would have seemed to be the most logical course of action, I'm not sure it was as simple as the two sides coming together.

As I understand it, the MWC would have had to agree to dissolve and merge into the Pac-12 -- this would have protected the NCAA credits and other financial benefits OSU and WSU accrued as the conference fell apart around them leaving them with a name and not much else.

It's unclear if the MWC would have gotten the nine votes it would have needed to dissolve or if the Pac-12 schools would have been interested in taking on all of the MWC schools. As you can see, the Pac-12 is clearly prioritizing which MWC it truly wants. Based on what I've read, it would have been much cheaper for the Pac-12 to engineer the reverse merger.

There was also a rumor floating around that Gonzaga was going to be a non-football member and was still going to get a full share.

That makes total sense. Small Jesuit school and a hodge podge of big state institutions..

Are you hearing anything about Uconn joining for football? Seen few things that there have been discussions.

That’s great!

Something I found interesting was that it was previously reported we scheduled Fordham at Walsh due to scheduling conflicts with the Rock. However, Sha said he intentionally scheduled two games at Walsh to enhance the student game day experience. I thought that was really cool, because the NIT games at Walsh were a lot of fun.

It could have been one of the others, but the dates did/didn’t synch up

"Doesn't listen" and being blocked are different though. Many accounts of the "guardrails" working while Trump was in office to prevent him from doing whatever he wanted. Trump didn't listen to the people telling him that the plan to overturn the election was ridiculous. Pence was the guardrail preventing from actually trying it. The guardrails are not going to be there under a 2nd term.

If “College Conference Members” was a Jeopardy category, I doubt Jeopardy Masters could get one of the five answers correct.

So, the new look PAC 12 thinks it can get $12 million per team. Good luck with that. IMO, $10 million would be tops.

Love that we have a 5 star coach and that we just have to fill in role players around him. I still dont think fans really appreciate what we have with Sha.

People might say he's a little too straight forward but for me he hits on every level.

This is actually a good example of what I was referring to about being less constrained. He wanted to prosecute Comey and Clinton but he was blocked by Don McGahn from going through with it. Next term, there will be no Don McGahn. Only yes men.



Sure you can make that case, but it might have something to do with the fact that he doesn't care about laws and kept breaking them.



I don't disagree. That's why I don't see her doing much. She's not going to stick her neck out on anything.
Immigration has reached a boiling point where the public is on the side of getting something done, and the tax cuts expiring seems unlikely. Outside of those two issues I don't see major policy coming.

I have no idea what Harris will project as a president. She has zero leadership skills, and in capable of projecting any position. People like that, don’t make decisions and live in a world of paralysis.

Black Nazi who is a republican seems counterintuitive given all the Dems anti Israel hate.
