It's all G5....

[RebelinWA]

Year after next will we be a G5 program?

Maybe not if a small minority of people at Disney/ Espn/ the big12 president get their way. That minority will grow if we continue winning. UNLV to the big12 does 3 things that haven’t been discussed yet.

1. It weakens CBS’s MW line up and makes it way less profitable. CBS is already struggling here.

2. It strengthens an offering ESPN has that is distinctly behind the SEC, and Big10.

3. It increases the gap between the Big12 and the ACC.

The G5 currently is considered.

• American Athletic Conference (AAC)
• Conference USA (CUSA)
• Mid-American Conference (MAC)
• Mountain West Conference (MW)
• Sun Belt Conference (SBC)

I believe B 12 is a pipe dream. I meant the PAC will replace us and I was concerned we would drop below the Sun Belt or MAC. The MAC gets $ 2.5 mil per school and their deal gets re- negotiated in two years. I don't believe we will get more than $ 3 mil per school. G5 is probably a meaningless term, and getting more so each year as we fall further and further behind. But it's interesting to consider.

We might.
