Mountain West Eyes DTC Streaming as New Revenue Path

"Participating schools are expected to include Air Force Falcons, Wyoming Cowboys, New Mexico Lobos, UTEP Miners, UNLV Rebels, Nevada Wolf Pack, San Jose State Spartans, Northern Illinois Huskies, Hawaii Rainbow Warriors, and North Dakota State Bison."

If the exclusion of UC Davis is correct, then I'm wondering how we can watch basketball if the game is not on linear TV.

"On the related subject of depth or lack there of, it is puzzling when a team has 105 players on the roster, has injuries in the high teens or low twenties, and doesn’t have 60 players to take on a road trip."

Does anyone know our roster size?

I do have a question about donations. What is the cutoff period when the benefits of your donations are for this academic year or the next academic year? Or perhaps the benefits of your donations are based on the regular calendar year?

"* UC Davis agreed to spend a minimum figure in men's basketball game guarantees for "winnable home games;" that benchmark was redacted"

It will be interesting to guess which home games are considered winnable next season.

My conspiracy theory is that Rocko reads this thread.

"Perineal" is a poor word choice.

I thought a big reason was that many people were sick.

If UCD moves up, we'll also be ineligible for two years.

I just watched the ejection. However, I was more impressed with the UCSB attendance. It's very uncommon to see the UCD attendance at that level.

I think the commentator has mentioned UCD kept the same lineup as the last game's lineup?

Yeah. It looks like a better than expected media deal. I also like that the legacy members don't see a drop-off in payout.

Unfortunately, it looks like extra subscription fees.

My two wishes are:

1. No extra subscription fees
2. Easy access to replays

I occasionally wonder if non-football schools, like UCSD, UCI, and UCSB, have an advantage in raising funds over UCD since these schools can focus on raising money for their basketball program. In our case, the funds get diluted to football and basketball programs.

I was about to post a link about new information on the 2026 Signing Day from Facebook, but I lost it. I'm hoping someone else can post it.

I do recall USC scheduling a game with us. (Or was it UCLA?) The alums got pissed, so USC changed their minds and removed us from the schedule. We still kept the money though.
