You know very, very little about this situation. Like, practically zero. Probably best you quit running it out there.BirdsEyeView wrote:If I were in charge of this conference and WSU said they were trying to bring Football in, only with the intent to leverage it for a bigger conference, I would have said F U to them too.
Why cater to a school with a foot out the door already?
Then you would be as inept as the current league leadership. Clearly it is working out well for them. Sometimes, it is best to simply say nothing at all.
Per your first comment...
I would say enlighten me, but I really don't care.
Your donors have much deeper pockets than many mid-major public schools and those deep pockets can be reached into when needed to keep people around. Sort of like an emergency fund.
Per your second comment...
So, if you are the boss of a company (conference) that is thriving at its level. You bring on a new hire who tells you that initially things might get worse (brand new Football program joining the top rated FCS conference in the country) and will have to change the dynamic of the workplace (schedules, travel plans, etc. etc.) and THEN tells you "we are only planning to be around a few years".....you would still hire this person???
Come on.
