It's just that info about UNC/NCST, for some ungodly reason, is coming to the WVU Tweeter supposedly from someone at WVU who supposedly got it from an ACC "source" ... 26 minutes ago, John Lewis said: Welcome to the warm and fuzzy world of Twitter ...

There is a more defined path to AAU status than the P5, that's not even debatable. 50 minutes ago, olafberserker said: I'm discussing the same thing and I gave an example of a school that wanted athletic success/P5 status and they got it. No you're not, and the fact that you keep using P5 status and athletic success synonymously bears that out. We'll just have to agree to disagree on this ....

Posted August 20, 2023 Group: Member Topic Count: 410 Content Count: 19,525 Reputation: 992 Days Won: 24 Joined: 09/01/2006 Share Posted August 20, 2023 (edited) 17 hours ago, I like GOOOOLD (and green) said: There is no iteration of a future PAC that would double the revenue of the current aac. The aac deal will be averaging about 10m/season by the time the MWC deal ends in a couple years. That has stability and ny6/bball credits with solid linear coverage in an established league that is already ‘best of the rest’. People keep assuming things that don’t exist will magically be there because -what? The PAC name? Who here honestly thinks any media partner is opening their checkbook to create essentially a new conference with cal and Stanford as the headliners? The aac is the best spot for us today and tomorrow on all fronts. If the acc decides to expand with significant shares then get back to me. Leaving the aac to join western castoffs is accelerating death. The new 12 would have a better team strength factors than last year's ACC. So, yeah, there are some dollars there to be had and it would be a step up. Facts matter. Edited August 20, 2023 by Who'sYourData? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're in the academics & research business, AAU matters more. If you're in the athletic program business, football relevance matters more. The two are indeed at opposite ends of the spectrum, but we have to define what constitutes 'better'. If you - as a university - could have but one distinction, which would you choose? Would you rather cool your jets with the likes of MIT, Yale, and Vanderbilt or Alabama, Texas and Oklahoma? Our good friends at Ohio State and University of Southern California have demonstrated how to achieve both football success and academic success. If we throw Duke in there it would be basketball success as well. But it's not a very good argument to state - blanket wise - that one is necessarily better than the other. If you are a university, you are in the academics and research business. If you are a pro athletic team you are in the athletics business. My degree is worth far more with the former than the latter. Arguing athletics is more important to a university than academics is like saying the Bucs need to apply for AAU status. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
