- WasSU and OrSU to MWC

The wild card in that is SDSUred: Do they go PAC and help it survive.

Reading other forums, the PAC may end up with a streaming only deal. That would be death to the PAC.

So, you've confused my thoughts and opinions with someone on an FCC Class B license AM station that nary garners a preset button in any of my vehicles.

Considering Netflix has more customers in the US than all cable TV providers in the nation combined, and they are smaller than Amazon. I would argue traditional cable is in thr same category as a flip phone or landline

Not like the P12 is going to get paid $300M per year to be shown on Netflix for free.

Park the P12 on Netflix and charge even as little as $0.99 for a season subscription and they’ll get one tenth the eyeballs that the B12 is getting.

The Premier league and NBC learned this lesson with their Peacock app. Fans don’t go running to buy a subscription to a streaming service just to watch a single sports league.

As for why more people own a subscription to Netflix than cable, one costs $10 the other $50. Not exactly apples to apples

It's not "cable" but "linear" television, like you folks like to tout the Statewide ABC deal NDSU FB has.

Rumors are saying all streaming (Apple!) and under $30M per school. That'll implode the PAC.

He was talking to Apple and their streaming deal with the PAC I'd assume. :biggrin:

The NCAA's release on these proposals.

Seems capacity of Alerus Center would fall out of concern should this pass.

About the "$6M in grants", here's 2022 data: https://knightnewhousedata.org/reports/f3039088

The $6M in grants seems odd to me. So, if NDSU fully funded the proposed scholarship requirements but didn't hit $6M because of the cost of attending their school they would somehow be in jeopardy?

That makes no sense and if that was the case, why wouldn't NDSU just raise tuition/fees/etc. for athletes who are scholarship? They already have different rates depending on your field of education, why wouldn't they just jack rates for those on scholarship to cover the difference or come up with other "fees" that they could assess and "grant" to the athletes to meet the criteria?
