On negotiations this time around vs. 7 years ago.... "Yeah, we never really wanted to go anywhere else [other than ESPN]." Sounds like he could drive a real hard bargain (rolls eyes)...
the MWC all the other g5 ,including the MWC, are struggling with to retain their 2013 value...we more than tripled ours ...
whatever espn a** kissing he did is obviously a strategy that is working
Considering the lousy deal we started with wasn't paying our value and this new deal because of graduating payments won't be either, I'm not sure you are making the point you want to. Certainly not a 1.8m one.
the self "value" we have.. that doesn't dictate the market
legitimately people were projecting 3mil.. with cord cutting, and c-usa getting 200k per..major outlets including guys like mcmurphy were saying we would struggle to retain value. "the bubble has burst"..most non-aac were saying 3-4 mil max...
we come out on top
ive perfectly fine with him getting that money...and you guys re-affirmed that to me....he will forever be criticized, he was dealt a bad hand and is criticized for bringing in major gains because it wasn't the size of the mega-millions
year 1 of aresco ...the MWC was argued as a better league than ours when Boise and sdsu left...Boise would have been the football powerhouse of the aac had they joined perception wise....
year 6 of aresco- after years of pushing an crazy media campaign we arent even compared to them anymore, the national media just accepts us as better...we just got a 7mil (likely 6mil deal after production costs), and a bowl line up with 4-6 p5...they are struggling to get a 3mil deal..and we are hearing facebook/stadium is a legitimate landing spot for alot of their games with 1 p5 bowl
--he announces a bowl lineup with up to 6 potential p5 depending on the year..with zero evidence you push a theory that we wont get to choose our bowls anymore..with no credible evidence to back it. looking for a reason to hate with nothing confirmed...imagine being in aresco shoes and this was the recognition
no one in aresco shoes would win, everything is criticized .. im fine with the pay becuase of that
you guys are complaining about the .0001% chance of a better situation not happening...ignoring the 60% of it being drastically worse
something i thought about recently:
if we aresco had been in the MWC in 2013 and we had Thompson (their commish)
--i guarantee aresco would have pushed the narrative to have them being discussed as the best western conference (taking advantage of their slump).. going all over the media stating the east has multiple power conferences the west deserves that too, multiple state flagships etc. and then pushed a culture where all of them invested in their programs and refused to back down from the p5
--while thompson (who never does press) would have had us slowly dying like the c-usa, taking in programs that dont invest (like with sjsu)..caving on unequal revenue tv deals, aac vs c-usa basketball challenges (like the mwc vs mvc)..with our major goal to be the best g5 (somethinghe does say) with a Facebook stadium deal..and id be pretty sure aresco's mwc would be making multiple times what we are
