Live Story ' 3 mega conferences discussed'

[Rebel_Westgate]

Well timing was good. Thanks for all the messages today. I will be busy for the next few days but i will try to keep in touch with what is going down.

If you have Sirius XM at this moment they are talking about 22 SEC conference.

It looks like what is going down is heating up and what I was told about how the city of Las Vegas group was very much trying to accomplish a great sports development to build something special for professional sports and UNLV is working out very well. People in this community are heavily involved in what is happening right now in the NCAA.


There is also a reason why which I haven't gotten into much with Arizona and Arizona State building relationships with UNLV in Football and Basketball in past years. There is a reason why USC made attempts to get PAC-12 programs to Las Vegas in-season and bowl games. There has been nothing but great things said about this community.

Coach Mike Gundy today discussed conference affiliation and behind the scene deals are being made. Check it out. Great information.

When I met Coach Sanchez for the first time at the UNLV Football Foundation Meet the New Coaches event AT GVR last year, he said UNLV had been contacted by the PAC 12 but were told they needed to improve the football program to be competitive in the conference which is why he said UNLV brought him in and would be increasing the financing and fundraising for the football program. He said they were interested in UNLV, San Diego St., Wyoming, and Boise St. I posted about this last year, check my previous posts, and everyone told me I was crazy but I guess I was right all along.

Wyoming seems far fetched, even with this revelation. No one likes to travel to Laramie, why would they include such a minute market?

Wyoming makes 0 sense. Boise may not have good enough academics to qualify for Pac12. CSU seems far more likely.

I think it is more a region they are after? IDK, I thought it was an odd fit too.

Possible, he may have been just throwing names out there.

Could be, he was only on the job for just 1 week. He did say Colorado didn't want CSU to join but didn't elaborate. Maybe it is like we didn't want Reno to join the MWC.

If three conferences became a reality (and the subject has been around for years, so it's been discussed at a national level), I would really think this could lead to a break away from the NCAA. The monopolization of college sports would be a huge deal, and like any monopoly, control is key. The NCAA right now has become too big for it's britches, and they've overstepped their boundaries way too many times....not to mention, the money comes in, but less and less goes out. The machine has gotten too big.....and that's just with the NCAA controlling basketball money.

The current big 5 control football money, but if mega conferences were to happen, I can't see them not trying to reign in basketball money. A new contract with an alignment of 3 major conferences, could mean serious enough money to not only make the new conferences desire more control, but it could be enough money to force the issue.

Realignment to be driven by ESPN's subscriber problem.http://www.foxsports.com/college-fo...million-subscribers-the-past-two-years-112515

I was at the Coach's Caravan event at Red Rock Station last May, which was a week before the one at GVR that I believe you are referring to. It also caught my attention that CTS would mention such an uncertain goal, and that he mentioned other schools that were "co-conspirators". Wyoming was one of them. I'll have to rely on your memory of the other schools, but the four do make sense. The four seem to be based as much on long-term potential as current value. A year ago Wyoming was in the middle of what at that time appeared to be the beginning of a huge economic upswing due to oil revenue, and there was widespread belief that the university was going to see great strides in facilities and elsewhere. That group of four schools also would assure multi-regional lock on viewing markets and allow four geographically logical divisions (ASU, UA, UNLV, SDSU for the southwest; BSU, Utah, Wyo, Colorado in the mountain; the LA and Bay Area schools; and the Pacific Northwest schools). Like all realignment strategies though, so much depends on certain dominos falling here and there and so much changes rapidly behind the scenes.

Stated that way, geographically it makes more sense. Anything that results in the demise of these NCAA scumbags couldn't be a bad thing.
