Hey WoD, not doubting your report, but the link in your message says not found. Do you have something else confirming that? Might be a nice step towards filling PG spot?
The guy on that Twitter account, took it down.
I messaged him, on why he took it down. I'm still waiting for his response.
He also said, that Lindy was going to take the Arizona job.
So, take it for what it's worth.

Assuming Hawaii gets done..Then what?

I just dont know why peoeple would value the MW more than they do right now. the 3.5 number. Have a hard time seeing the MW get more than 5. What are the media networks paying for? San Jose v. Wyoming?
There are three primary reasons:

1. Inflation. The current deal started in 2020. Prices are 23.3% higher than before the covid recession began in February 2020, with the current annual inflation rate at 2.8%.

2. No more sweet heart deals. Take Boise’s inflated deal and we pass the savings onto the rest of the conference.

3. Hawaii. This is a bit bigger than people think. We get almost no returned value since Spectrum owned their rights. Hawaii and the other Pacific Islands add another 2m-3m viewership base to go with the other islanders on the west coast that might not have been able to have easy access to Hawaii games. They are also a highly bet on game because their home games are usually the last to play.

I worked for Paramount Global. I have seen the CBSSN numbers from all of the schools going to the Pac. They aren’t nearly as great as people assume. We’re talking a factor of tens of thousands to low hundreds of thousands in separation. Numbers that were generally LOW enough that a game scheduled wouldn’t have stopped us from pushing an application update.

That being said as I have maintained, the Pac will undoubtedly end up being a better conference. But it won’t have nearly as much separation as people initially believed (some thought 18m+). Without a doubt they are the less stable than the MW.

Didn’t he also try to apply here and we passed on him also?

This is GREAT News! PG Aaliyah Gayles, was the number 8 recruit out of HS in the 2022 Class!
She's a local kid, from Spring Valley HS. Same place where former Lady Rebel PG, Essence Booker played.
Huge get for Lindy and the UNLV Lady Rebels! She played at USC Trojans.

She was stuck on the bench behind loads of talent. Never got a chance to shine.

Looks to be close, if we believe the numbers "people in the know/media pundits" on the twitter are estimating now. While we don't know the MW media deal, 5-8/7-9m looks to be the right sized ballpark for the Pac.

Utter swing and a miss for Boise, OSU, and WSU. Great for Gonzaga and the rest.
