It's amazing how when you sign up for something it hits your credit card instantly, but when you cancel it takes anywhere from 3-5 business days, at a minimum, for the credit to hit the account.
I’m hoping Yormark is just leveraging Fresno to try and get some movement from potential P12 converts; however, they’ve been talking for over a month and Yormark was actually on their campus this month.
One time a few years ago I had a subscription that wouldn't cancel. Eventually my credit card company told me they would reissue my card with a new number. The downside was I had other places I had to update with the new information but it stopped those charges.
This Fresno State thing was my concern. Yormark has sounded determined to get a Pacific Coast team. And I don’t much understand why you need that for exposure on the west coast. Pacific coast residents can watch Big XII teams all day.
I just went through this with Sirius. The time sink involved in managing all these things is outrageous. And I agree, many people don't bother because of it.
I would be shocked by any non P5 adds except for a basketball only school or two (which I wouldn't like, but I think BY is serious about getting more money for basketball).
I do the same with SiriusXM. I think it was last year that I was on hold and heard, "if you want to renew with the $5 per month plan, press one."
I went thru all that with Sirius....finally just decided to let it go....I don't miss it.
In spades. If the West Coast is as apathetic about cfb as most of us believe.....why would they tune in for a Fresno vs. B12 match up ? And outside of us Frog Fanatics who in the CST is likely to care about TCU vs Fresno. I can't imagine there's much interest in that scenario from either time zone.
A few years back I was on hold for about 30 minutes to cancel Sirius when I decided to, using a different phone, see how long it would take get through if I chose the option to buy a plan vs. cancel a plan. Almost immediately I had someone on the phone. Phone #1 was still on hold and waiting. The “buy a plan” people were, of course, incapable of cancelling my plan. So on hold I sat for 60 minutes total until they answered. And they attempted to keep my business to which I told them where they could shove it. Never again. That company can eat a giant bag.
Once you add a team you are stuck with them, so you better be very careful. I don’t think I like that the Big XII added all four that they did, maybe adding only 2 or 3 would have been better. Maybe a too hurried move to get to 12 that very possibly made the Big XII look worse to the PAC teams. I don't like being bigger than need be, preferring to select the best of the rest coming available.
Yeah, Fresno State makes no sense - I am with you. Anyone floating them as a possibility must be someone from the PAC trying to pretend they're attractive to other conferences so they can pretend they did something big when that is all they are left with.
I think we’re going to find out that those were great basketball additions with decent football. I believe BYU basketball has an average attendance higher than anyone , except Arizona , in the Pac right now.
Tehran (series), The Banker (movie), and Defending Jacob (limited series) are worthwhile.
