Re: NAR: Seattle and Grand Canyon are part of the WCC

Amen. It's ridiculous that GCU is an any legitimate conference. They should play the University of Phoenix.

Re: NAR: Seattle and Grand Canyon are part of the WCC

Makes SUUs gambit to join the WAC continue to be a poor decision. Should have stayed in the Big Sky… SUU, Utah Valley, and Utah Tech should move into the Big Sky. The Big Sky would have Weber State, Utah Valley, SUU, and Utah Tech. Side note, did I see the Big Sky conference offices along the freew...

Re: Jordy Barnes

Loyalty is a two way street. I get why kids get yanked around by the process and I also get why they yank schools around by leaving. You cant have it both ways. If you have the right to counsel kids out and cancel scholarships it is hard to be upset when they decide to leave when they decide it is ...

Stanford will follow the money. If they need to join with a school or two they don't want to be associated with but it is better for their wallet they will do so.

Here is 2 years worth of data. The only notable change is UNLV.

SDSU, Boise and Fresno are the top 3 again. Wyoming and Air Force are best of the rest. CSU is still overrated by perception.

Re: Mountain West School Value

Doing this for the last 5 years would give a better picture for sure. There has to be some element of guessing fan interest based off of expected performance (MW media bias actually probably does hurt us in those projections). The schedule of a team makes a massive difference as well. I will grant t...

https://i.postimg.cc/hXPbgYw6/MW.png Instead of trying to guess which schools are the most valuable in realignment, I decided to use 'how many games are on TV' as a proxy to determine value.

Re: NIL Aggie Hoops 22 Help!

I don't believe that NIL can be dependent on a player's performance or a player staying at a school. The best you can do is smaller contracts spaced out. It's probably better to do monthly contracts with players so that once they leave you can just not renew. Once they have the money there are no r...
