Just go and look at the viewership of UNLV on ESPN and it gives a different story on a national level. UNLV had a half million more eyes on the game last year verse Michigan than Fresno State when they played Michigan. The difference between the games is Fresno State played them at the first game of the year as the 9th ranked team in the country, while UNLV played them on September 9th as the second game when they were ranked 2nd in the nation. While Michigan was definitely the bigger draw, there was far more interest in watching them play UNLV than Fresno State. UNLV v Michigan had 2.97 million views playing on CBSWe also need to stop thinking of Colleges and their markets. Things have changed with media. Regional networks do not really exist anymore. At least not with college sports.
Currently every conference is in every media market. Internet only streams are available everywhere ( like the MWN), and all of the bigger conference networks are basically everywhere as well. So the big 12 or the PAC or the SEC doesn't need to get into the Vegas market. They are already there.
Sure adding a local team may increase ratings for other teams in that market. But is still goes back to fan support for each individual school.
So if UNLV averages 90k additional viewers per game, that won't move the needle much for the additional members of that conference beyond what is already watched in that region.
This why Boise is still desirable, even the PAC 2. They have enough interest from their names to upgrade their contract from at least what the MW currently gets. Those schools may be in small markets, but their brand commands a go amount of viewership.
So back to the PAC, I think it is safe to say that they will be getting more money than the MW. If it was comparable, they would have merged. It is much simpler, the PAC would keep more money, and everyone would be a bit happier.
But there is obviously a big divide there. Again this move has been in the works for may a year. This was not spur of the moment.
As for UNLV being the next school in the PAC. I don't think the PAC can afford all of the exit fees and poaching fees for another MW school just yet. I don't think UNLV can pay the 18 mil either. I can see some sort of consignment where UNLV pays the fees off over time by accepting a few less mil per year until it is cleared. It is the least they can do.
Ok now you jumped the sharkYes you did. And I quote your post word for word: "We are gripping to pay an exit fee to get into basically the same conference we're already in."
As far as cachet goes, watch College Gameday much?

Really? More times? When would those appearances have been? Let me help. Below is the all-time list of Gameday locations.Why were you hosting?
Congrats, they decided to use your flag in a TV promo... They've been to Vegas more times than to Pullman...
How about the all white one?The Rebel football team is flying high and the marching band is keeping pace! They seem so much bigger, louder, with more flair and style. So much better than any year I can remember. I know it takes money and effort to accomplish this. Congratulations on us fans for being able to enjoy a great pregame, National Anthem and halftime show. BUT….the Rebel band would serve themselves a big favor if the would finally ditch the Black & Red uniforms (San Diego States colors) and went to a sharp Scarlet and Gray uniform. School colors… what a concept. We have had Black and Red for years. Enough is enough.
Prof, here's a recap if you have not seen it.The Kansas game was the weirdest game I ever watched. After Kansas took a 14-0 lead averaging 10 had a play, I was ready to change channels when the score reached 21-0. As the offense continued to stumble, the defense began to show signs of life. The insanity began at the end of the first half when UNLV’s offense looked like the Marx brothers trying to look like a football team as time ticked off the clock. Out of the chaos, Sluka tosses a TD pass😐
The defense plays great in the second half. Sluka
Oh? Do you have a link or other information to support that statement? Other than has been reported, that the Pac-2 was expected to "help" with the exit fees......
Why were you hosting?Yes you did. And I quote your post word for word: "We are gripping to pay an exit fee to get into basically the same conference we're already in."

Yes you did. And I quote your post word for word: "We are gripping to pay an exit fee to get into basically the same conference we're already in."OSU and Wazzu don't have any cachet other than the conference they are currently tied to. You're high on your on supply. The only cachet here is the P12 brand. And I never said it would be 'basically the same conference'. I said it would be an easier and equal way to get to the playoff spot
Well actually at this point, based on the polls, UNLV is better!I've said many times that I don't like what the Pac-2 is doing and has done. But give us some credit. OSU and WSU have more cachet than anyone in the MW and are as good as any of you in FB. As you will see this fall. So if you think that a conference with SJSU, UNM, Reno and USU is "basically the same conference" as the Pac, I would respectfully disagree.
It hard to tell if it made a big difference looking at the number of seats that are still up for sale. It is nice that they still have over a week to sell tickets, because they will need all of that time if they want a chance to sell out the lower bowl section.Has anyone heard how the seat sales went with the $25 tickets? Or how many tickets have been sold/given away, total? I'm not sure when the students are able to get their tickets, or if those are already accounted for.
Motorola was founded by Paul and Joseph Galvin in the US. in 1928.bull mastiff. You are retarded Motorola was founded by Israel.
Yeah those beepers that you had in the 90’s
There’s a Taiwanese company that sold beepers to people and it’s about to go bankrupt.

Moron AOC speaks up. She’s the worst
I think they have a good faith estimate. They It seems like the CW is really happy with their agreement so far with the PAC and likes the fact they are in the college football broadcasting business.their view is because they're expecting more money from a TV deal that doesn't exist.

Just take Reno SJSU Sac State and call it a dayI wish I could get you the document. All I have is a PDF on my hard drive. I'm ****ing clueless as how to put that on this forum.

No link, but I can guarantee you 3 of those schools are heavily in the red and have to go to broke higher education departments to ask for $17M. The Pac2 will have to pay the poaching fee pursuant to the contract. Boise is fine.Oh? Do you have a link or other information to support that statement? Other than has been reported, that the Pac-2 was expected to "help" with the exit fees......

We are gripping to pay an exit fee to get into basically the same conference we're already in. With no guarantee auto-bid for the champion? Why would the TV money or exposure be any better in the long run? Just play some good OOC teams, run your shitty conference and you're in the mix for a playoff spot.
