I get the jump coming in ‘26 but can someone give me the cliff notes of how an athletic program spends so much fucking money and despite more TV rev than ever, they still operate at a deficit? With the fucking ridiculous cost of tuition do those streams not bleed together? Edjumakate me.

Our ticket sales suck for football and basketball. We are still paying Jimmy LAke and stadium debt. It's hard.
Packing the stadium for a year or two makes a big difference though.
The AppleTV deal is still available through the end of the week
If I were Wazzu or OSU, I'd be jumping all over that
$20m for a MWC-like conference is better than heading to the MWC and getting $1.1m or whatever
The deal was based on most of the other teams staying and the possibility of adding SDSt, SMU and for some reason Hawaii or Fresno.
$250 mill per year is chump change for Apple. But why would any company invest in the PAC 12 now?
Make it the Mtn Pac
Sign on with Apple
Profit
Who’s gonna watch that shit?
Exactly. And the Mtn West HAS A CONTRACT that will have to be bought out.
If Apple somehow took a value added approach and didn’t charge a separate subscription, it could work.
Nah. There still aren’t enough eyeballs to make it worth it from a business standpoint.
WSU has a sneaky big fan base around the country from late night and the Leach days
Not sure if it helps but still
Mike Leach has been gone for 4 years now and like the PAC 12 is dead.
WSU is back to playing everyone else’s style of game. Just not as good or as entertaining. A smattering alums outside of the PNW care about WSU football. If I’m the Mtn West, I wonder just what it is that makes WSU worth giving their treasure for.

They spend more than they make
Tuition doesn't go to AD
Super helpful… so Cohen is to blame again. Got it!

Ticket sales are going to be through the roof because the spares will be eaten up by midwesterners

Win and the fans will come
I actually don't think it's true that UW fans will sell out HS any more. The stadium will be 1/3 visiting fans every home game.

Give fans a reason to go with consistent success and they will be there.

I'd watch some of the games, but not if they were on Apple TV. I suspect nobody would. I was kidding about the Apple TV part.
I would like to see that conference stay alive and get a little better. I still think there's a place for it. I have no idea how that happens though.
