(1) TV Contract Agreement A-
(2) CFP Power Six Campaign A+
(3) NCAA Basketball Tournament Strategy C
(4) College Football Bowl Ties & Creation B
(5) AAC Conference/Alignment Expansion A
Just wondering what everyone thinks of the job he has done. Personally, I like the fact that we’ve been the Access Bowl representative for 5 of the last 8 years. But that’s more a function of the individual school rather than the commissioner. Beyond that I can find very little positive to say ...
Some things are beyond his controll i added that to my response
1) love everything about the contract from a "realistic" standpoint .. the "-" is because i did not love the length. but then again espn might not have offered so much on a short term deal..
2) campaign was absolutely genius, the best thing he's done... it changed the narrative how we are percieved
3) basketball, this is where i think he could improve, the conference has a very handoffs approach when it comes to basketball... no scheduling mandates, done nothing creative to boost teams... theyve done nothing bad either.... so just a nuetral
4) its easy to complain about our bowl tie ins, then you look at the other g5 bowl tie ins, remove the unrealistic glasses and we are in decent position
5) biggest win is that he didnt rush to make a bad addition...
--------------------------------------------------
you are looking for positives but then picked the criteria ..ignoring his 2 biggest strengths
-- Conference culture and growth- A++
-- Conference advocacy - A+
