See? You were just playing the long game by trying to get them in the Pac a decade ago!I expect things to get negotiated with UNLV to the Pac. I think the Rebs have simply orchestrated things for maximum leverage and are probably also talking to the AAC with AFA to see if that could be a better option on the table.
I'm interested in how these lawsuits go.The Pac needs that cash to settle the Reggie Bush lawsuit since it decided to stick together and take over all assets and liabilities.
You can absolutely sue an organization for doing you wrong and "we were just following policy" isn't a defense when the policy was in violation of labor laws.I'm interested in how these lawsuits go.
It doesn't seem reasonable to me to sue a school that was following the policies of both it's conference and the sport's governing body because that policy changed decades after the player left.
It could be there's aspects of this that I haven't given sufficient thought to.
I get the bolded, but realistically, <rhetorical> was USC supposed to take the stance of "we believe the Pac 12 and NCAA policy is wrong, so we're not going to enforce it and we'll just forfeit all our games..."? </r> That doesn't seem reasonable to me, but, upon reflection, laws often aren't.You can absolutely sue an organization for doing you wrong and "we were just following policy" isn't a defense when the policy was in violation of labor laws.
In this case, using someone to promote your brand without their specific release and not compensating the person.
I'm not sure what USC could have done differently. In fact, them breaking rules to get Reggie and his family appropriate compensation for his value to the school put them on probation and might be the main reason the Pac-12 died (the conference's elite program being mediocre for a decade). But the Pac-12 and NCAA which made and enforced the rules probably gonna have to pay up.I get the bolded, but realistically, <rhetorical> was USC supposed to take the stance of "we believe the Pac 12 and NCAA policy is wrong, so we're not going to enforce it and we'll just forfeit all our games..."? </r> That doesn't seem reasonable to me, but, upon reflection, laws often aren't.
It appears that the big reason for the suit is that the MWC was trying to fleece OSU/WSU on the scheduling alliance. Probably to push them to join.
Instead, they poached and want a settlement path to significantly reducing the exit fees for the schools they poached.
**** no. Stop elevating G5 programs. There are already 4 of them in the Big 12 that are taking $$ from the rest of the conference and that CU has to compete with for recruits. My goodness, there is an epidemic of this mindset going around.I'd imagine UNLV and/or AFA aren't Big12 material...??
Over my long and marginally illustrious career, I can assure you that 100% of feasibility studies return an opinion that whatever plan is presently being considered is, in fact, feasible.

I read through things a day or two ago. They're basically having to secure a ton of booster & university money to increase the hoops are an from 1,500 capacity to like 6k, build a new football stadium that approaches 30k and a bunch of other stuff that doesn't even bring their facilities up to CSU (pre on-campus stadium). If that's a Pac-12 member, then that's pretty sad.

UNLV QB just quit after 3-0 start and going to redshirt. Sounds like the NIL funds were not delivered as promised. Not a good look for we are a serious football program and you want us in your conference.I'd imagine UNLV and/or AFA aren't Big12 material...??
