      • A very nice summation of the past week, but he doesn't even offer up any of MHVer3's reports.

        So messy and it doesn't look good. It appears Kliavkoff will need to pull that rabbit out of the hat. Wolken makes the point that if Kliavkoff had the better deal, he would have sealed it already.

        As the football season has wrapped up and basketball will wrap up soon, this has been nice entertainment to fill some of the void.
        Give 'em Hell, Cougars!!!

        For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

        Not long ago an obituary appeared in the Salt Lake Tribune that said the recently departed had "died doing what he enjoyed most—watching BYU lose."

        • If he can't convince UW and Oregon to sign a GOR or convince that there should be an unequal revenue distribution, they aren't going to get anywhere near B12 money. They might not anyway.

              That kind of arrogance is exactly why there will be so much schadenfreude if the P12 blows up.

              I have been laughing at all of the tweets by ute fans about research funding in the P12. Fans of an R1 research school have almost zero understanding of how research funding works.

              • Guess what never happens on Utefans.net.

                Talk about BYU or the Big 12.

                Ute fans don't give a shit about BYU or the Big 12.

                You all have such a sad little cramped view of the world.

                  Not strange at all if you know what really matters to universities. I've been telling you all along that this is what has kept the Pac 12 together, what makes the Pac 12 not want BYU, etc.

                    I'm encouraged to hear that you've outgrown smack talk. There's hope for the rest of us.

                            lol

                            I expect Wilner is trying to accomplish any number of things with his tweet.
                            • Is he trying to lay the groundwork for why schools should stay with the PAC even after the media deal comes in way under promised and much less than the B12 in terms of dollars and visibility? And add to that Oregon and Washington getting uneven revenue shares?
                            • Is he acknowledging that PAC schools are indeed talking seriously with the B12 and trying to publicly make the case for sticking with the PAC? Are we next going to start hearing about what a horrible destinations Morgantown and "Stoolwater" are?
                            • And by singling out one of the schools, is he targeting the innate uofutah fan inferiority complex that so badly wants to be part of the cool kids club?
                            If the PAC really wants to market itself as a conference where academics take priority, then go get Rice, Tulane, and UCSB. And be brave like the Ivy League and put athletics on the back burner.

                              "kept the Pac 12 together"?

                              You mean until your two top schools left?

                                Not that I ever go to utefans.net, but let's just say I'm suspicious about this claim.

                                Although, in fairness, maybe they get it out of their systems when they flock in droves over to BYU's fan sites.
