so riddle me this...
If you are a TV executive, you just saw one of the programs that supposed to be a premier jewel in that conference drop a significant amount of investment from its football program are you still eager to pay $$$$ for them? Heck if Im the media executives, Im telling them to settle their legal stuff with the MWC and ask to join because your media cut as a very high G5 combined will be significantly larger than anything either conference can put together alone.
There is no way that is true.
The PAC deal will be much better per school than what the merger would do.
It will be an upgrade for the defectors easy.
The PAC 2 are the ones that may be screwed with all of the up front costs.
How much of a difference matters. Over time, it will eventually pay off. Will it take 10 years? 20 years? That is to be seen.
If the poaching fees get thrown out then it may not take that long at all
