    Also, note Mizzou's body language is it would be delighted with a Big 10 offer. This makes me think Colorado would react the same way to a Pac 10 offer.
    What are you smoking? And did you link the wrong video?

    Are you familiar with the TV contract that ND has?

      Perhaps you should read the article before asking me what I've been smoking. It's linked at the top of the video. The article contains the following passage:

      Swarbrick acknowledged that the major football conferences make even more money from their own media contracts than the $9 million Notre Dame is paid annually by NBC for the football rights. In the Big Ten, TV and radio rights fees generate $20 million a year for the schools.

          each Big Ten school already derives $20 million per year from the league's media deals,
          But you already knew this. Honest person. :bsflag:

            Still no apology from 3D or Lebowski. Speaks volumes!

                  Just caught up with this thread.

                  I apologize. You were correct.

                    Interesting list.

                    See what I mean, SU? Texas can afford to dish out a little more cash to Mack Brown.

                      What's most interesting is that UNLV and SDSU have the 3rd and 4th highest revenue in the MWC.

                                All these schools tout themselves as founding members of the PAC and it is generally considered that they are. This is not in dispute amongst those that follow the PAC 10.



                                .
                                I did look at the Wiki to get the PCC breakup timeline correct, the rest is the real story. I actually wrote my senior history paper on it for Prof. Gerlach at the U of Utah (that way you can look it up instead of trying to just attack me).

                                I don't care what story the Pac-10 is trying to sell, the Cal schools and WA would have gone their own way without the Oregon schools and Wazzu if they could have made it happen.

                                Second, Oregon especially was a huge player in the formation of the WAC and if the Pac folks hadn't come calling, they would have been a WAC founding member.

                                One more fact for ya, but for the intervention of Utah President A. Ray Olpin and his personal friendship with BYU President Wilkenson, BYU would not have been included in the original WAC as the other members didn't want a private school. So each time you insult me, remember that you owe your very ability to do so, to a Ute.
