Just strange he would bring her to the interview and then they’d be put off by questions about the relationship
Would’ve been better optics to not have her there and him simply say I won’t answer about that topic
Seems like they intentionally are trying to create publicity by doing it this way
I would be curious to see week 17 and 18 ratings compared to the rest of the season
And then looking pre expansion to 17 games and week 17 and week 16 ratings
When they expanded is their an attrition of fans?
The more games there are, the further out of relevancy a team can be by the end of...
Agree.
I think of the west/southwest non SEC poaches I would rank them:
Arizona state
Colorado
Utah
Arizona (they may rank lower if you already have ASU)
Stanford
Cal
Kansas
Other (WSU, ok state, OR State, IA st, Kansas st, Houston, TCU, Baylor)
I think the big ten is likely to only make an exception for very few universities
Arizona and ASU are both AAU still but expansion to me is about new territory + solid football
major football but great hoops.
Places that fit the bill in no order (west to east kind of)
Stanford
Cal
Utah...
Nebraska isn’t AAU
I think it could be justified in other ways
The big ten is different from other leagues which, in my opinion, makes the big ten poaching from the SEC more likely than the other way around. There are more dollars than just sports dollars.
Maybe FSU, Miami, TCU and GT end up...
teams to go after before them include:
Arizona state or Arizona
Colorado
Texas a&m (long shot)
Missouri (long shot)
Notre dame
Florida State
Miami
North Carolina
Virginia
yes. With the exception of Notre Dame or poaching an SEC school, the next expansion is probably about quantity not quality...
Strib is wrong
6a schedules are out. I have them all. But don’t want to write it all down 😂
5 relief schools;
Coon rapids
Hopkins
Eastview
Park cottage grove
Roseville
3 teams have two of them on their schedule
Woodbury
White Bear lake
East ridge
If you have other specific...
Might be a good compromise in classes 9 man to 5a that does a good thing but doesn’t substantially impact travel for many teams (8 teams in each class would have one extra long road trip)
