CU has rejoined the Big 12 and broken college football - talking out asses continues

They are better working together
Conferences are stupid, period
Except for Olympic sports where there is no major revenues
How many times will it take to convince you that what you are suggesting will not happen?
When as many said, they fail again
Come on down UNLV and ????
Lmao goats jumped into the life raft only to find out the ship wasn't sinking.
Can somebody define large in Mtn. Weenie terms?
EDIT; So is the Mtn. Weenie using the exit money to pay off its remaining members? CS ewe is paying to prop up Wyoming et al.? Pretty funny if that is what is going on.

The more things change the more they stay the same. Pac leadership continues to overvalue its product to its own detriment rather than accepting reality and putting out achievable proposals. Didn't learn their lesson. Telling G5 teams that they have a prospect of $10-$15 million for a new, undefined TV proposal is just as unrealistic as telling Power conference teams that the Pac should get $50 million a year or be on par with the Big10 or SEC. Completely delusional.
Sweet jesus. Might as well start calling it the Mountain West West.

the core of the Mtn West are the original WAC teams who got suckered into the "new" 16 Team WAC which was a creepy failure....including TCU kept winning a lot. They formed the MWC to preserve tradional rivalries on the front range. I thought that was a great secession move. There is probably a terrific lesson here. totally heroic.
I'm 56, my first CU game was Tony Reed running up the COLORADO embankment to beat Oklahoma in 1976.....
edit: so I read it on wiki, the university presidents of AFA, CSU, Utah, and Wyoming met at DIA to break away from the "new" WAC and form their own conference, retain identity of the mountain west

I’ve always felt that adding Gonzaga is a curious move for any conference. It has certainly had a remarkable run under Mark Few, but without him there are host of reasons to doubt sustainability. Small school located far from a solid recruiting base chief among them. Seems like a high percentage chance they fall off a cliff when Few retires. He’ll be 62 in a few months.
I'm shocked that Wazzu didn't block it. They compete in the same market.
With Las Vegas potentially getting an expansion NBA team and the A's on their way, UNLV will struggle to get eyeballs and their current football run is likely a flash in the pan.
Would be MASSIVELY stupid for the Pac12 to commit to Hawaii. Honolulu/Hawaii is not a top media market, is different from most of the west int hat the population is growing very slowly and has little room for growth, and would add huge travel costs. Feel bad for the 'Bows, but I don't see how they survive much longer.
Would it be stupid if getting Hawaii increases the likehood of a media rights deal with ESPN?
Wow. The idiocy of the P12 continues to weave disaster like pebbles in a pond. Overvaluing the product, failure to proactively expand and the four corner schools bail to the B12, after SC and fUCLA knifed everyone in the back on their way to the BigInteger, OU and UW decide to rack up frequent flyer miles with SC and fUCLA in the B1G, and Stanford and Cal tuck their tails, grab their bags and plane tickets to kneel before the academics at Clempsum.
Now trying to save what little face is left, the P2 make a play to rob the Mtn. Weenie, pull four schools, but alas, still need two more for respectability and any chance at keeping P5 status. The AAC members politely say "no thank you", only to have the Mtn. Weenine riff raff dis the 6Pac in their own backyard. Trying times, indeed.
UNLV was offered but turned it down. I have to question the value of UNLV long term as Las Vegas is likely getting a NBA expansion team and the A's are on their way. UNLV might just disappear in that case.
Why would that be the case?
Exposure. The MWC will not beat the PAC in that case.
Meet the new Pac-12 - managing the conference as well as the old Pac-12. 
Of course they fvcked up. Oregon State was behind a lot of the mismanagement problems and was a diehard supporter of Larry Scott and his vision until the bitter end.
Next move Texas State?
