Thanks Dave, good data. Wilner's analysis is a bit hard to follow but paints a picture. On the Nevada Sports article, some interesting numbers. NIU only averaged 10,272 for FB games? So why did the MW get them? BB numbers are pretty surprisingly high (to me anyway).

Interesting article and it highlights why the top MWC teams want to escape that conference. The bottom half of the MWC is an anchor for any conference and we are better off without them.

Yep. That's why in total attendance (FB+MBB), WSU is last in the Pac-X and 3 of those "bottom half' MW schools did better than WSU.

I know, the TV numbers are what counts. But just saying that more people come to their games than ours, despite our relatively large student sections.

Thanks, LoyalCoug. I had some problems following his analysis towards the end of the article myself. And his analysis was missing the viewership for the CBS broadcasted games, which doesn't help, either.

But, it's the best we have. I think I need to go read the article a second time.

Warning: these links are Twitter/X. But the comments by the San Diego State A.D. are popping up all over PAC-12 & future PAC-12 message boards.

Here's a new Canzano & Wilner Podcast. They start talking about the PAC-12 at the 19:35 mark. Canzano has started visiting all the new PAC-12 schools and gives a report on Boise State. Looks like Boise State is super excited about joining the PAC-12, which is great to see.

Finally, last link of the day (ha!). Wilner in one of his columns writes about a bunch of topics, including the reverse merger between the PAC-12 and MWC. Here's as good of a link as any that I can find on it:
