You seem like a super fun person. Again directing attention to the post being framed in the form of questions. "You obviously haven't been paying attention." Truly amazing how people talk to each other on these sports forums. But no, I was referring to the scheduling agreement, designed to salvage their season, when the PAC2 became the PAC2. Ok so the new distribution system would be a benefit, so that is good. It's still $2.2M x 5 years or something in a rolling period. Again, the bigger question is if we're yet again helping them out, these are reasonable questions. Well, given what you've written so far you appear woefully uninformed. Just sticking with basketball credits, they are shared among all 11 schools (I expect Hawaii does not get a share) and are distributed over 6 years. Yes, of the $22-23M in tournament credits, the great majority is due to SDSU's success. Let's say those credits total $25M. That would amount to $25M/11/6 = $379K per year for SDSU. Chickenfeed. How are we thanked for bringing that money to the conference? The conference votes an extra 2 conference games to help teams like Wyoming and UNM and others who have difficulty scheduling good teams at home while limiting who we can schedule to build up our resume. I'm going to be much happier with a 16 game schedule than a 20 game one, and so is Dutch and anyone who roots for the program. Hell, the MWC should have voted to reward its premier basketball program rather than punish it. f x x x 'em. If we add Memphis and Gonzaga it will be a much better BB conference than we could have gotten from the MWC. You don't know, and neither do I, what expenses the PAC will be covering for moving schools nor what the cost of leaving the MWC will be, but you are sure quick to complain. By the way, I don't recall seeing you in any of the other threads about SDSU and conference realignment over the last couple of years. Those exit/poaching fees aren't going to total anything close to the $27M/school the MWC wants, however. I'll be surprised if they are over $10M/school. If the new conference can approach $15M per school I have no problem putting some money into the pot. Ore St. and Wazzu have come up with a plan that will get us out of this chickenshit conference which benefits them and us, as well as the other 3 MWC schools chosen. At $10M/departing school and figuring just 6 leaving, UNLV and AFA (to either the PAC or AAC), that leaves $60M to the 5 remaining full members and Hawaii. More than $10M each which is more than their worth over 5 years. I am sure USU will get a good look by the AAC and, perhaps, even UNM. |

Sorry, but if you're a tenured, published, literature professor, get your facts straight. Brian Dutcher was not hired 6 months ago, he has been with the program for over 25 years. And he has earned his salary with the one National Championship game alone. Plus, over the course of his 25 years at San Diego State, Dutch has helped the Aztecs reach the postseason 18 times, including 13 trips to the NCAA tourny, win a conference-best 16 Mountain West titles and record 19 seasons of at least 20 victories. How many millions upon millions of dollars of revenue has been earned up Dutcher? He's plateaued. |

Well, he is sending scores of English/Literature graduates out into the work force year after year. And McDonald's says "Thank you." As a proud SDSU English major (and MBA), I've never worked at McDonalds a day in my life. And I'll put my salary/net worth up against just about any other SDSU grad from any other department. Just sayin'. It's exhausting to have to read/listen to all the nonsensical tropes about the worthlessness of a liberal arts education. |

But you seem to be easily triggered by your cough cough 😂😂 "Liberal Arts Education" and glad you are the less than 1% than made money as a school teacher. Salary and Net Worth? I am sorry this made me laugh! (Totally joking with you LTB 😂😂) |

Most us are subject to stereotyping in one form or another. As an accounting major graduate, and eventual CPA, I'm supposed to be dull, boring, unimaginative and without a sense of humor. In TV and movies accountants are portrayed as all those things and uptight as well. Likely they're involved in some kind of criminal activities as well. I get tired of those tropes as well.
I'd argue that I'm not like that in any way. You, apparently don't match the English major stereotype either. I'd take you up on that salary/net worth competition, but our individual successes don't necessarily mean they are typical of our respective majors.
Again, don't take it personally.  |

Are you going to teach?" To which I'd reply, "F**k no." And, FWIW, philosophy majors are among the highest-performing, highest earning grads of most schools in the U.S. They consistently score the highest on LSAT, GMAT and MCAT tests and are being gobbled up by all the AI/Machine Learning companies. They can't hire enough of these folks. Go figure. As for accountants, everyone knows that they're repressed, humorless, anal retentive spreadsheet jockeys who end up living somewhere in the Ozarks laundering drug money for the cartels and spreading murder and mayhem wherever they go.  |

Actually a buddy of mine and I along with one other fellow did interview for a job with one of the cartels. The head of their HR department gave all three of us a short accounting test. He asked the first fellow what 2 + 2 equaled. The guy said "4." Then the head of HR asked me the same question and I also said "4." Then he asked my buddy what 2 + 2 equaled and my buddy asked, "What would you like it to be?" He was hired on the spot.
My buddy is now reportedly living in a non-extradition country somewhere in South America.

I like to say things like "irregardless" when he is around because it is like me scraping my fingernails against a blackboard to him. I graduated with a degree in zoology and like to tell people that I am an expert in identifying roadkill. |

The way I look at getting a degree is not so much about earning money. Most anyone can get a decent job if you're a colleg grad, regardless of major. What's most important is we acquire discipline and become more worldly. You don't realize it until you interface with your former high school friends who didn't go to college. I went away to attend school and returned each summer until I graduated. Hanging with them made me realize how simple and small their world really was. You especially notice it if you attend your HS reunion later in life. You find yourself gravitating to those who did the same as you, even though you didn't have much in common with them during high school. Sound familiar?

Legal proof-reader here and it's always in regard to (no s), although "regards to" is so often incorrectly used in casual speech it's pretty much lexicon at this point. |

Don't pay them anything.
They can't stop us from leaving.
They can sue use but they can't stop us from leaving.
F them.
Heck, I would sue them for breach of contract for being deeks to us for 26 years and not operating in good faith.
