The atmosphere in Rice-Eccles Stadium was electric the first Saturday in November 2010. Until Josh Boyce went 75 yards to the endzone and quieted everyone but about 1000 visiting Texans down.

All this academic talk is dumb. Higher education is a house of cards. Even the "good schools" are just elitist credential mills.

Students say they are getting ‘screwed over’ for sticking to the rules. Professors say students are acting like ‘tyrants.’ Then came ChatGPT . . .

I thought they did a good job with the Olympics. sux that they moved the olympic cauldrin, but expansion was needed. The new location is supposed to be a fairly cool place to visit. So, bucket list.

So, I was leaving the office one evening and two guys who looked about 23 were on there bikes, had their shirts and ties on. Rolled down the window and asked, "y'all play in the secondary or special teams?"
The didn't get the joke.

The joke would have been on you if they had peddled up to your car at the next red light and asked if you'd like to talk about John Smith for the next minute!

That is true, they did say it was done.
However, they were 1/2 right. It absolutely was done from the media’s point of view.
The numbers haven’t changed. The P12 has been pleading (begging) their case for a month since then, but the media’s number hasn’t changed.
Their biggest report is the $22-$25m figure. If they are wrong about that; then they are hacks.
….but if they’re right, they were the 1st ones to report it & they stuck to it.

Well the list is from SI, so take it with a grain of salt.
But the point is the same. We cant afford any more teams that don’t make more $$$.
I fully understand Az. & ASU. However, if UU is out, I can’t see taking Col. & another loser of the B12’s choosing.

If they're right about that the Pac 12 is over. Many other sources are suggesting otherwise. We'll see; I hope they're right.

Utah is funny. TCU is ranked quite a bit ahead of them academically.
Wrt the research crap, I guess it’s possible there could be some synergies via association with other AAU schools that might get them a little more $$$, but Kansas is a mid-level research player, and the B12 doesn’t seem to be hurting them.
Utah is trying to become a Stanford or Cal. and that doesn’t seem likely when they’re ranked 100+.
I believe you‘re right, Wash & Oregon won’t sign any Pac12 GOR, especially when they believe they can go to the B10 for a reduced $40m share in the very near future; then get a full share at the next media deal.

Idk if they’re even still a magazine, but occasionally they have a free on line article that‘s readable
In general, I’m not too impressed with any sports media today.
It seems like they’re always trying to report their take on a story, instead of just reporting the actual story.
and half the time their take is wrong.
Tulsa is a very good academic school
