    +1 & it isn't even a 400k difference, it is just when they pay the 400K. So even if KY & Pope wants to keep OA, if you know he is gone on July 1, wouldn't you rather pay the 400k a month or 2 early so you can get on with filling your staff, especially with portal wide open right now.

    More than just IQ, Amani was a dawg. Add in Harris and that is a lot of tenacity that I think we will miss over the next 3 years.

    ACC wanted to stay together & it is yet to be determined if it is a good or bad deal IMO...To much of the PAC12 folks it looks pretty good right now...Stanford & California were happy to jump across the country to take less, Washington State/Oregon State would take it in a heartbeat. If you are...

    I don't see it going this way, look at examples like Terrance and Quincy where the relationships pay off in the end. Also I still expect their will be Ayo/Kofi/Coleman examples where you keep kids through their careers. Then add the occasional flyer (like Lieb) that you take with the hope he...

    Conference Realignment

    1) Letting the rest of the PAC get out before making any decisions would seem to keep it cleaner for PAC12 assetts (Tibbs pt), both in terms of current exiting members & opportunity to clear out any cash or other assets before letting someone else join. 2) Bet there was a hope they could keep...

    Penn State 90, Illinois 89 Postgame

    the defense wasn't good...but PSU also had 11 steals and in total we committed 18 turnovers that lead to a bunch of points including the 8 pts we gave up in the 30 seconds or so & we shouldn't blame all this on the defense...we were up 7 pts with less than a minute to go, the ability to inbound...

    My guess is that the reason it is a joint venture with Fox is because it didn’t make sense to do it on there own because of the production end.

    Conference Realignment

    Interesting example, but seems like a different case in that they are taking advantage of one camera crew, maybe local contract crew & then able to let local broadcasters add then solve the different language issues that a European/world product needs. But other than 1 feed, they are still...

    Conference Realignment

    1st point - 100% agree; this seems to be the age old dilemma of doing everything inhouse/vertical monopoly vs specialize/stay in you lane & focus on doing core business well argument. Also the networks have some synergy in that they can use much of the same capital/production people to broadcast...

    IDK, seems like the product they are selling is a broadcast version of the game that requires announcers/producers/equipment/... there seems to be a fair bit of work done more than just distributing/selling the final product that I would put in the normal middleman conversation.
