It does go both ways. The Pac 2 futures are not nearly as good as their past, hard to extrapolate.
That being said consistency trumps everything. I think right now UNLV looks like a pretty safe bet, especially after our new hire. But even back a couple games of the season when the move was announced our metrics weren't that great.

I can't go into details, but my last major media company I was working for was looking at certain football futures. I built the dashboards for gathering API "metrics" from our live streams. I can say the numbers don't look great for certain conferences. I am a few weeks removed from that company, and the data set I had in my mind is already stale. That is just one company though, every media company does the calculus differently.

But to the fickle nature of media, in the same day we went from an all hands email about how great we did in the superbowl smashing every "metric" we had laid out with record profit; to an hour later getting a notification about pending layoffs due to changes in the economy. Media moves fast. The Pac numbers being slow to come out is strange.

Does WSU go internal for hire? Vigen?

Hey I know a guy! Nick Rolovich! Probably get him on the cheap. Water under the bridge, bygones be bygones and all that..

Then they will loose 8 of the next 9 afterwards

Who do you think the QB targets will/should be?

A couple I heard, one is from SMU and the other from Maryland

Does this commit make Jet look elsewhere? Sure hope not

It shouldn’t, the new guy sounds like an okay back, definitely not top tier if he in fact lacks “vision” as a running back!

No, I think it explains Gregs decision though

InZoneU said:

I said all along we should add NDSU, SDakSt, and both Montana's as they would have no problem competing in the MWC and make the conference more competitive.

More I look into some of their viewership numbers, I don't think they would negatively impact a future media deal.

Minimum I'd like to get NDSU.

Also.. its coaching in the Rose Bowl... that's a huge difference than the LA Bowl. There's a history and pageantry involved there.

It was probably negotiated into the deal as well

Portal. Simple as that. They really need to move top opening the portal until after the bowl games.
I get that there is an academic component, but there is still a lot of wiggle room there

Historically our data looks bad. I would imagine that most most media companies don't want to commit to big 5 year payouts due to 1 or 2 good years

Click to expand...

You'd be surprised. It works both ways though. They'll pay for the hot ticket now rather than what was the hot ticket 5 years ago.

Does this commit make Jet look elsewhere? Sure hope not

j. spilotro said:

When they use metrics 2016-2021, yeah, it’ll look bad.

You can cherry pick data to make your case or crush another.

It’s about making money, these people are so arrogant and stupid that they can’t see the forest from the trees. That’s why they were left behind and I don’t think the Boises and the Gonzaga’s etc. understand what they are dealing with.

Pac2 reminds me of the brat in the Willy wonka movie, the original one.

If that's our third option and we have a real shot at the other two i'm a very happy camper.

Rosegreen1 said:

It is interesting that just a few years ago, Arroyo could call the game for Oregon as their OC in the Rose Bowl even when he was hired as the next UNLV HC.

Maybe the game has changed too much where it is critical to get players and staff in right away.

Penn St. backup maybe. I looked up the recruits he had at Florida his last year and one is at UAB and the other just hit the Portal from Syracuse after getting recruited over for McCord. Id like to see the Cal QB or a favorite discussion point from last year was Malik Murphy...

Think Murphy is locked in with Kentucky.
