You know, it wouldn't surprise me. One reason for conference affiliation, at least as far as football was concerned, was access to a premier bowl game and the money associated with that bowl. In fact, the NCAA seems to have yielded any oversight over Div I football to what the major bowls (and now the BCS) want to do. Conference-specific TV contracts have added to that revenue.Originally posted by ERCougar View Post
If Texas (or any other team) feels like they can maximize their revenue through control of their own TV content and distribution, then making a run at independance might work financially. If you're good enough to be in the national championship hunt at the end of the season, that's icing on the cake."You interns are like swallows.

Apparently BYU wants people to fall asleep watching their teams play with Dave snooze McCann broadcasting.

The other possibility is that things are solidifying and they can plan for the future, whatever that may be. It is not like they are overloading teams in any given year:Originally posted by ERCougar View Post

He's been doing BYU games off and on a long time. Is he with the MTN now? I thought he was well known in Vegas area. I thought he did Vegas sports news for TV.Originally posted by falafel View PostComment

He's actually a morning anchor for the Vegas CBS affiliate. He did Vegas sports for that same station for a long time. The problem is I don't watch local news or sports shows unless I'm at the gym and I can't avoid it without falling off the treadmill. Also, I don't go to the gym.Originally posted by jay santos View PostAin't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

Also, turns out McCann is now on twitter. Seems like a good guy to follow, given his connection to TrueBlue. Here are some of his recent tweets:

It's strange that people take the time to write such banalities, and even stranger that there's apparently an audience for such stuff. If people wish to subscribe to hourly reports concerning my dining habits, daydreams and success (or lack thereof) in the bathroom, maybe I'll start tweeting, although it occurs to me that my kids became a captive audience for such reportage long before the advent of Twitter.Originally posted by SeattleUte View PostComment
