The more I follow this stuff, the more convinced I become that the media members publishing articles in this space are somehow even less informed than we are.

It just takes a headline spracne. Attach the sky is falling (any soon to be G5 schools) to that headline and watch those page views skyrocket.

As I’ve said. The majority of media really doesn’t understand the business they cover. It’s a vomitorium (and yes I know what they actually were in Ancient Rome and it still applies) of low hanging Captain Obvious takes.

Dax, you old sob, you're 100% correct.

ksu, ku, osu and isu should form a four team conference and then all of those schools should see if they can get ooc games with nu, cu, mu and ou.

Expenses

I was of the understanding athletic departments are/were "not profits" under the university umbrella.

Fun with numbers

pre-pandemic Kstate’s revenue including capital contributions was over $110 million.

They’ve built one shitty looking indoor facility and slopped some stuff into AFH in the last couple of years.

If KU doesn’t land in the right spot then enjoy those piss floods at Memorial Stadium for another decade.

Adding some AAC members is palatable to me. However, I just can’t stomach Memphis & their crap hole of a stadium. We already have one team that doesn’t take football seriously enough to not have the worst P5 stadium. We don’t need to add the worst FBS stadium too. I understand that people who know more than me are throwing out Memphis, but I don’t understand how you throw out Memphis when schools like Colorado State are available. I’d have Memphis easily behind UCF, Cincy, Houston, SMU (I get TCU veto though), USF, Colorado State, Boise St, BYU.

As I type this out, I get why I keep seeing Memphis, but man that program just seems sub-par to me.

Maybe Myers can use his military connections to threaten our way into a conference. Roll up in a bunch of Abrams tanks.

Pretty sure Myers is retired or retiring very soon. I guess he could go out with a "Bang" and commandeer a column of M1 Abraham's from fort Riley and drive them to California to demand entry into the PAC?

Or just invite them out to a nice dinner at Ruth's Chris over a polite phone conversation...

Except when they arrive, they find out it's not Ruth's Chris, but Ruthless Chris Klieman standing there with a butcher's knife, ain't no meats, and they must have misunderstood over the phone ...

the athletic sucks for KSU stuff but it’s good to see some quality realignment content from them. I subscribe pretty much entirely for Nate Taylor and Seth Keysors chiefs content.

Anyone heard of the Permanent University Fund in Texas? Apparently it's a huge annual cash flow for Texas and A&M but now a lot of people are demanding the funds be opened in to ALL public universities in Texas
