Thinking SMALL is begging for an invite to a 'higher' conference.
Thinking BIG is growing your conference into a 'higher' conference.
Thinking SMALL is making a modest payday today in a weaker and unstable conference versus thinking BIG by making a sacrifice today but continue growth in a stronger and more stable conference.
Thinking SMALL is running away from supposed 'inferior' schools hoping it would thrust prestige onto your team.
Thinking BIG is bring friends and family to an Aztec game through thick and thin; fill up the stadium and take that prestige.
Many posters here have been getting them mixed up.

Thinking small At San Diego State, the pain has included cutting 25 full-time and 12 part-time positions the past two years amid state budget cuts. And the cuts could get worse: The athletic department alone could suffer $1 million in cuts to its general fund allotment later this year, bringing it down to around $5 million.Thinking small academic support staff for athletics has been cut, too, from 16 tutors and mentors to six. One possible side effect of that is this: Last year, SDSU had six football players who had academic issues going into summer school. This year, that number was 15, Long said, though most since have succeeded in their efforts.Thinking small But challenges remain. Last year, the state general fund contributed $6.9 million to SDSU's $32 million athletics budget, which also includes about $10 million in revenue from student fees. This year, the general fund's allocation to SDSU athletics is projected to be $5.7 million. Additionally, about $100 million in mid-year cuts could be on the way for the CSU system if the state fails to rake in $4 billion in projected increased revenues, according to SDSU. www.sportsad.ohio.edu/news/index.html?article_id=547www.utsandiego.com/news/2011/aug/01/sdsu-football-doing-more-less/ |

Assuming SDSU gets 800k from the MWC (though it can be varied and I think it'll be about 1.1-1.3 mil a year, depending on saturday games, tv etc). In December, the potential Big East TV deal was valued between 60-80 mil per year. That was before Louisville left and before the C-7 left. Yeah....I think about 40 mil sounds about right, God forbid if ACC comes back for Connecticut or Cincinnati anytime soon...I would expect 2-2.5 mil in TV money in the Big East. So, SDSU would make an increase in 1 mil...maybe...still doesn't solve the 6 mil deficit. |

So you can pretty much wipe those BE projections with your ass. |

Link to TV Agreements by Conference. Granted: these are from a couple years ago, but the comparison of CUSA to MWC is somewhat true. No TV network will pay a premium for Big East football....the new CUSA agreement will not be anywhere near worthwhile. Having basketball in arguable the 2nd best conference and Football competing for the MWC title, you would be surprised at how short it may take to get an invite to a desireable conference. Going to the Big East is a step back, the money is only there in spirit, not reality. Like I said earlier, how pumped would you have been if we announced we were going to CUSA last year??? That's what's happening. collegesportsinfo.com/2012/05/10/2012-ncaa-television-revenue-by-conference/ |

Thinking Big...Realizing you live in the 8th largest city in the country and that no one in your city, who doesn't already have ties to the school, cares about our conference games because we play against small markets with small followings. That was not so true before, but without TCU, BYU, and UTAH, its a fact. Thinking Small.....knowing the truth of the above statement and not doing anything about it because your scared for you're BB team. Nothing worth achieving ever comes easily. |

How many would be pumped to hear we were joining that two years ago? |

How long have we been in the MWC? How long has this conference had to build it's self up? And yet we are still stuck in the CBS purgatory, with little to no national exposure, little to no TV money and locked out of the huge pay days of the BCS conferences. To make it worse, we are stuck in this situation until 2020, should CBS exercise their option. At some point you need to cut your losses and get out. The MWC has had ample time to "think big" and has failed to produce. There is no evidence that shows the MWC can right the ship. It will never be a BCS conference and thus will be locked out of the big money. The media and media dollars are in the east, not on the range. Also, TCU and Utah thought small and left the conference, how did that work outfor them?

“This will be good for our program.” |

If the mountain actually did right by its members and got out of a contract that keeps them small time, I would be fine with it. CBS is in the drivers seat and they are not giving up the wheel. MGC is a disaster waiting to happen. |
