CBSSN and FS2 are in a lot of households but almost nobody tunes in to those channels. And with how they stack events you usually lose half the game to the truck race or frisbee contest that went long prior to tip. This is a downgrade from ESPN+ in a lot of respects.

Agree on the demand for posts. Don’t agree on the roster. You win with age and experience. The inbound guys have neither and the international players always struggle on the defensive end with physical play. The inability to bring in anyone that has had success at any level of college basketball is alarming and points to some reputation/culture issues (and a lack of money). I don’t see this group as an upgrade from last year and the comp has gone up a notch.

Agree. I just don’t see how this works. Hope to be wrong.

From the conference. And that does not consider the cost of a UC scholarship relative to the rest of the conference or the NIL budget. 25 is actually a better bare bones number to be marginally competitive at the sub power league level for Davis.

It’s pretty simple. There isn’t a donor in place to fund the project and there isn’t demand to lease the suites. If CMS hosted a few more proms maybe Cal football would be in the Big Ten.

You are thinking about it the right way. The budget number for MWC football is $20m. A full share of MWC media rights is 3.5m.

They’re both negative numbers. The MWC used all of its cash to keep Air Force and UNLV in the league. There won’t be meaningful conference distributions under this model.

Do the math on the MWC network. Money loser for the schools and the fans.

Just one last season. Four the year prior.

2 points per game at CSUN not likely to work out well in MWC.

Not going to happen. Would already be through the Regents if that was the case. Also remember those boxes have no ROI. The beer garden pays for itself and starts generating NIL funds within 2 years.

These lunatics should be kicked out of school and the parents should be publicly shamed.

Don’t fall for it!

These aren’t even to the level of renderings. They are space plans. No architectural or design or construction firms. Literally a space planning consultant with a very simple conceptual drawing.

Those should not be confused with construction plans.

That beer garden prints money. Replicating should be the top priority at Aggie Stadium.

Junior commitments are incredibly meaningful in June and July. The recruiting calendar has shifted forward and the big guys have allocated their NIL money. They won’t all stick but the odds of losing someone laterally or even up to unpaid G6 is much lower than the old days.

This roster has no chance. Tom Abatemarco is on staff? What a clown show. The only interesting thing to watch will be at what point they pull the plug on Les.

This isn’t exactly the case. Most of these guys are FCS recruits and a few have real offers from lower level FBS programs like Nevada. A committable offer from Cal and Stanford comes with a paycheck and nobody passes that up.

Yes, much of the 247 west coast team moved to On3. There are far fewer players in the eval base than in years prior with the P4 going so heavy in the portal.
