Too early for "I told you so"?

[Loyal Coug1]

Too bad. Cuz here it comes, and it will keep coming for some time.

The Pac-2 should have immediately pursued the Reverse Merger as intended in the documents signed a year ago. The Alaska Air PacMtn West. I dare anyone to state that we are in a better spot right now and keep a straight face. Hell we should go back and pursue it now, on our knees, hat in hand.

Or, we should have snagged UNLV when we had the chance. They are laughing at us now. And the traitorous MW 5 are having serious buyer's remorse. $5 sez they are all talking among themselves in whispers, perhaps with Gloria listening in on the call.

Teresa Gould should never have been made Commissioner, and/or her 2-year contract should have had Duty #1 being making the reverse merger happen. She could have been kept on as an Associate Commissioner to Gloria or just cut a decent severance package. And her poaching lawsuit is a joke.

Anne McCoy should never have been made more than an interim AD. She has proven me correct.

We should still jump on Sacramento St. as member #8. At least keep travel down. They can ramp their program up in a hurry with their $50M in NIL and the vast community support they have. Some nameless directional Texas school(s) instead? Stupid stupid stupid.

So there. Feel free to kneel at the altar of the God-like Loyal One and pander to my greatness and wisdom. Oh and I've been saying all of this since Day(s) 1. Didn't just pull it out of my ass.

Well done Loyal.

Still holding out hope Schultzie has an ace in the hole he hasn't played yet, but that window may be closing

 

[CougSinceBirth]

A reverse merger ends any fight (although with Schulz and the BoR, it's a spineless "fight") the university would be perceived to have, and would've led to way more immediate and unrecoverable fan apathy.

So basically, if only we would’ve rolled in behind the mountain West conference Jake Dickert would’ve accepted another pay cut and turned down 25 million guaranteed from Wake Forest? Mateer would have turned down 3 million from Oklahoma? The other starters refused their NIL deals?

And you still fail to realize the top half of the MWC was not interested in being in the same conference as the bottom half of the MWC. So, the conference you wanted to reverse merge did not have a shelf life.

You haven't told us how the reverse merger changes anything.

Sac State's "$50MM" NIL is contingent on them entering the Pac 12. Can you connect the dots here? The reality is there were different options but there wasn't one that was perfect. Never is, but dome of the options were likely killers.

No it doesn't. Where the hell do you get that? The bulk of the "pac-12 money" is coming to us and OSU before 7/1/26. The "only" money at risk is the $30-odd million remaining from the Pac-12 NCAA BB credits which will otherwise go to us as well.
