I'd be curious to see the TV ratings for the Pac12 options. Is Memphis or Tulane really that much better than Wyoming, AFA, UNLV or Nevada?

If available, an AAU accredited (at that time) ISU absolutely would have been one of the 4 added.
ISU, KU, OSU, TTU would have been the 4.
Gonzaga going to the Pac 12. I REALLY didn't want them in the Big 12. Geographic outlier who has only been successful under one coach. I'd rather have Creighton for basketball only tbh.
And they're getting a full share despite not having football. No brainer for the Zags, I guess, but woof.
That's a fantastic deal for Gonzaga. Good for them. Their patience paid off.
Power league money without having to travel to the NE to get it.

PAC 12 must be really desperate to add schools. A full share for a basketball only school. Woof.
Man that’s crazy to give them a full share. Absolutely nuts.
With what their media number is going to end up being, Gonzaga is going to pay for themselves in tournament credits.
Does this speak well of baseball? Maybe a great foreshadowing to the next Big 12 package(s)
Or
Is the PAC really desperate and the full share isn't worth much more than a single basketball cut?
B.
If the PACs new media number is 8 figures per school, they'll have done well. I'm guessing they'll be in the $8M range, roughly 3x what the MW is getting now.
Gonzaga has made exactly ONE (1) NCAA tournament with coaches not named Mark Few.
If we win out except Utah, then lose the Conf Champ, according to ESPN we still make playoffs at #4 seed. But I question this as they don't have Utah in (assuming they are Big 12 champs).
Who will make the expanded 12-team College Football Playoff?

If PAC’s forecasts are correct, $10-15M in TV rights per year with basketball as the flagship program is going to make Gonzaga one of, if not the, highest basketball budgets in the country.
Assuming what, 70% of that budget goes to basketball plus donors and gate revenue. How many other schools have like a $10M annual budget for basketball?
Top 4 seeds are reserved for conference champs, so that can't be right.If we win out except Utah, then lose the Conf Champ, according to ESPN we still make playoffs at #4 seed. But I question this as they don't have Utah in (assuming they are Big 12 champs).
