Washington State loses HC

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
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.

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.
 
Well our interim HC for the Holiday Bowl is a goddam mutt (uw husky). As if it couldn't get any worse.......

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.

That sucks. Per On3 their recruiting class was a lot better than ours. Per the ranking.
That is because they had a lot more recruits after UNLV lost 5-7 to Odom, and there are also 3 UNLV recruits that currently do not have a ranking which artificially lowers the class ranking. Look at the top 10 and UNLV has far better players. UNLV has multiple 5.6 and 5.7 ranked players, Wazzu has zero 5.7 ranked players.

No. I saw the rankings before Odom departed. They and OSU were both ranked ahead of us. We were ahead of BSU as well.

And true the rankings have to be adjusted now when coaches leave and commits bail.

I read the same rankings, and while Oregon State was ahead of UNLV, Washington State wasn't. On 247 UNLV has an average ranking of 85.23 with 14 recruits (this includes 2 unranked players), and Washington State has an average of 84.81 with 23 recruits.

PAC is dead, just adding MWC does nothing in football out side of BSU and Gonzaga/Aztecs in hoops.
Is PAC better then the new MWC yes not close. B12 is the goal, or it's slow death
