It did say "hard" commit. Again, you never know.He committed in August and then UCF offers him yesterday…. Is he a solid commit?

Unfortunately, the BOR has to vote on this before it comes to fruition.If I was UNLV I would suggest this approach with the Regents.

It worked when I was five.
They call it 'shithousing' and there is a delicate artform to being good at it. Doyle needs some practice.I have been told by followers of that 'sport' soccer that it is not called flopping, it is gamesmanship.
Good thing is we may know soon. PAC seems anxious to get to eight sooner rather than later.Many on the board see the AAC as a way to keep ourselves relevant. I agree it could work - but it's nowhere near automatic.
IMO, the ACC and their ongoing Lawsuit(s) / discussions with Florida State and Clemson are a player in the calculations that need to be considered.
See article below dated yesterday.
Sources: ACC, Clemson, FSU renew revenue talks
Talks between Clemson, Florida State and the ACC have ramped up in recent weeks, sources told ESPN, on a revenue distribution model based on brand valuation and television ratings in exchange for the schools dropping their lawsuits against the conference.www.espn.com
If the FSU/Clemson lawsuit continues there is a strong possibility Memphis and/or Tulane will not jump to the PAC any time soon. They would be foolish to pay exit fees when FSU/Clemson could bolt from the ACC and open space for them in that conference. The ACC currently receives a payout of over $ 40 million. It would degrade significantly without FSU/Clemson but not so much Memphis and Tulane wouldn't love to be a part of the conference. I see it in their best interest to wait and see.
If they don't jump, then the AAC will be at 14 schools. Their near term options would be stay at 14 or expand. If they choose to expand (and that isn't a given) AF would likely be their first choice for expansion. But all the discussions about AF is conjecture and there's been no statements from the AAC. It could just as easily be the AAC stays at 14 and decides not to take on the additional travel for AF and UNLV. Or it could be they take AF and decide on an additional Texas school or Eastern school instead of us.
This entire fiasco is conjecture, but I don't think an AAC birth is as obvious as many of us hope.
Because they need to get to 8 teams and don't want to pay another 80 million dollars to do it... and they're trying to sell the weak Pac brand to them over conference affiliation like AAC...Here is the question you should be asking If the PAC deal is not better then why would they even target the AAC schools? Especially with the travel? That answer is easy, they wouldn't.
The MW contract is what it is because there is a ton of dead weight at the middle and bottom of the league. Part of the reaso. Theu didnt want a merger/reverse merger. OSU and WAZZ are worth more than probably every MW school. Then take the 4 best markets out of the MW that helped raise our profile and now you are looking at potentially 10+ mil per school.
The Big East isn't a power conference and is exclusively Basketball and carries the top non-foootball schools in the Country with Villinova, Marquette, Creighton, and UCONN with a primarily East Coast based media market... they are not the sameWell the Big East (basketball only) just signed a deal worth $80m annually, so there certainly is some value. We wouldn’t be able to command that much, but I do think it would help a bit. Could be wrong though. Often am. Just was the reason behind my thinking there.
Here is the question you should be asking If the PAC deal is not better then why would they even target the AAC schools? Especially with the travel? That answer is easy, they wouldn't.Memphis and Tulane are not in the CUSA. Will the PAC 6 media deal beat the AAC? The MWC was not better.. I don’t see where WSU or OSU and 4 MWC teams will do much better, if any than the current AAC with their TV deal.
Robert Worthen..the original recording God.I'm not sure. I'm sure there are some tech guys around here the could provide some more insight though. I know there was a guy that was converting a lot of the old Rebel bball games to digital that I think worked in programming. Can't remember his name of the top of my head though.
Last week was the anniversaryArkansas State flopped badly against the U and looked really bad.We need players to keep flopping on the field to garner national attention...also, bad beats.
Sadly, that's the only way to get impressions, nationally. Need it done in 30 second clips.
After reading this article I hope the top 3 schools left in mwc go to the aac and it keeps all the aac teams from going to the pac12 and the pac12 blows up
Give him God Powers in Las Vegas!!I would extend Coach O with a raise before I think about that.
After reading this article I hope the top 3 schools left in mwc go to the aac and it keeps all the aac teams from going to the pac12 and the pac12 blows upThis pretty much explains how we got here.
And now it is Barry Odom's sworn duty to kick the @#$% $%@#$ @#$%& out of SDSU this year.
You'll understand when you read the quote.
UNLV was NEVER in the initial talks.
ALSO every school left should be able to dissolve based on lack of faith and ineptitude of commisioner.
You'll understand when you read this.
Threatcaster..
Remember that word..
Your head will spin.
