I do not have blind faith in Gloria.
She has "promised" payouts that may not come to fruitiion. I think she got somewhat bullish with the PAC which probably soured any merger potential (both are culpable IMO).
I think she wants to look like we are "winning" by making additions, while the PAC isn't whole but I can't see how any of these schools will help our payouts. I think she is is just driving the price down.
I like the UTEP add. It made sense, and it looks like it sparked something in their athletic department
I like the GCU add. We need more basketball schools, and they could eventually add football, but they need to be FCS at least 5 years first.
UCDavis? Don't get that one.
I mean the PAC is doing everything to keep their payouts high, even to the extent that they are being very selective in their last addition.
I wish would would do the same.
Once we see both leagues' contact values our decision to stay is going to hurt a bit.
