clt says oregon state and washington state are not highly selective, and shared a conference with stanford and berkeley before. with tulane and rice in the aac, we can sell them on the books
we are more selective than both.
Stanford has won the most national championships of any school in history (134). It has won the Learfield Cup for all-sports excellence 26 times out of the awardâs 29-year history, including the 2022â23 academic year. It routinely produces Olympians and other future professional athletic stars. As in the academic realm, Cal is not far behind its Bay Area peer school in terms of all-sports excellence and heritage.
Tell it brother Gof CLT. I was thinking the same when people were discussing Stanford and Cal. Those two would be a coup for the AAC.
Dave, when you post tweets you can just post the address and the board software will convert it. You donât have to post it like itâs a link. Just paste the URL of the tweet. NNN software does the rest.
thank you for posting, I have been searching the site to look for these directions. I recall seeing this maybe 2 years ago and have been doing it the same way.
thx

If true this seems short sided by the MWC schools. PAC is dead in the water.

IMHO, Any AAC program that leaves ESPNâs linear TV package for Appleâs streaming only option to play late night games across the country that no one will see, for a payout that will probably be similar to the $7-$8MM theyâre already getting is foolish. Apple would have to sweeten the pot quite a bit to make that even worth considering.
Hate that the writer of that article had a typo in the headline that indicated he was talking about the American. They whole article is about a PAC/ACC merger but says AAC in the headline.
I just canât see AAC or MWC schools paying to leave to join those 4 schools. And I canât see enough schools leaving a single conference to dissolve it to get out of fees.
I think the only option for those leftover 4 is to go indy or join AAC or MWC. The article above about the partnership with the ACC is interesting but I just donât think that makes sense either.
Kliavkoff was quite the optimist on the Apple deal:
Definitely had ASU prez Michael Crow buying it:
Lets see, PAC has an incentive to rebuild as they can maintain CFP $$ payout thru 2025.
With an Apple deal, could be another incentive. MLS is gaining lots of momentum.
Could possibly lose some AAC schools to this unique opportunity, lets see in coming weeksâŠ
Any team in the AAC, including us, would be morons to go for a TV deal that no longer exists. Apple isnât paying for those 4. They are the 4 worst Pac programs for drawing eyeballs. Plus, subscription based?
NO!
Memphis, Tulane and SMU are getting $7m to fill east coast time slots. Their value goes to 0 trying to get the 5 sets of eyeballs west of the Rockies that arenât already owned by the Big Twins.
The Apple deal is dead. There is no way they will pay the same for the PAC 4 and G5 call ups.
Apple was playing hardball with the PAC because they donât really give a crap about the sport. They are looking for cheap content.
Any deal that is not concrete and dependent on subscriptions is not going to work for college football.
It may work for the MLS but thatâs a completely different kettle of fish. The PAC canât go out and bring in a Messi. Itâs apples to oranges.
Also if your wise you donât get into bed with a pure streaming service. The exposure is going to be crap.
I would rather be on the CW.
Apple is not going to be a reliable partner long term because your just a toy and an experiment.
The PAC commish pushing subscription revenue sounds like a snake oil salesman.
