This quote from Craig Thompson also caught my eye.
"Really, the focus has been on football and I don't think basketball has been the driving force for our interest in sustaining membership," Thompson said, noting that league membership didn't have much interest in keeping San Diego State's and Boise State's non-football sports. "... Basketball does play a part, but most of these TV rights fee packages are based on the football product."

Where are all of the Robertas who have spouting off that the MWC is ALL about Hoops?
The Hair is not keeping with the 'butt hurt remants' line of explanation.
Who is right? Hair or the butt hurt leftovers in a crappy conference that pays just enough in TV money to keep the lights on in their respective arenas after travel costs to the a majority of schools remote outposts?
The Aztecs made the right decision and those that still think the MWC is where we should have remained there is not much more that can be provided to you to make it clear that the BE and BW were the options that best provide for not only financial stability, but for recruiting exposure.

Whether it actually equates to winning more games remains to be seen. As I have all the money I need, it's really is about winning football games, especially "big ticket" games regardless of money or conference affiliation. It's about building a strong fan base as a result of success on the field, not the bank account or TV market. As I've long believed, it's not the money you make, it's what you do with the money you make. And frankly, over the last thirty years given the opportunities they've had, I've personally had a hell of a lot more success than Aztec football. As always, we'll see.

I'm sure he's smart enough to know that BB is what's presently giving the MWC notoriety. As long as it's a football conference he has to keep spinning the line, that's what drives the bus. They're stuck with that piss poor TV contract for several more years so that bus is headed to a cliff.

Oh, and as far as the Aztecs big move to the BE? Bill Oram is a sports columnist for the SLTRIB covering UTE football. Today's column, "Hard to be Inspired after 1st weekend of PAC-12 games" talked about the cyclical success of football programs and conferences, but he includes this statement.. " Those are opportunities for the league to enhance its image, or at the very least for those programs to demonstrate that the middle of the Pac-12 doesn’t sag as much as is feared.
These things are cyclical, and unless you’re the Big East, conferences don’t slowly fade away."When I played the game in the working world, one of the maxim's I subscribed to was "perception is reality". For anyone reading this column, this remark will arguably plant the seed, (if it hasn't already been planted), that the BE has, (to be nice), seen better days. What this means is as the BE fades into the sunset, and Aztec football is on the clock regarding membership in this east based conference, it will certainly have to raise its own level of success. They will no longer have the luxury of profiting off the success of other conference members when the success just isn't there. And unless the football program finally earns respect, other viable conferences will not be interested. Ouch. There will come a time when they will have to move on. I sincerely hope they are finally ready for it.

...As I have all the money I need, it's really is about winning football games... Blah blah blah this statement.. "...These things are cyclical, and unless you’re the Big East, conferences don’t slowly fade away."When I played the game in the working world, one of the maxim's I subscribed to was "perception is reality". For anyone reading this column, this remark will arguably plant the seed, (if it hasn't already been planted), that the BE has, (to be nice), seen better days. What this means is as the BE fades into the sunset, derp derp One scribe's scribble in Mormonville does not equate to "reality" in this universe or any other. The windfall of money coming to the AD, along with the additional exposure for the program is sure to boost recruiting to some degree. And improvement in personnel is likely to translate to an improvement in performance, don't you think? And FWIW, the money is what will keep the BE from "fading away," despite the protestations of some beat writer in Utah.

Thanks for the info, ass hole. Actually, that is spelled incorrectly as well. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AssholeYou've come in to an Aztec board taking swipes at the Aztecs and posters. Did you expect a warm welcome?
