  1. PAC-12 Coaches and Storylines

    Yep. Most people, including the media save for Jon Wilner, don't really understand what the financial issue at Cal is (was). Operationally, they don't lose money. They actually operate in the black most years. The red is 100% debt service payments of ~ 17M per year. Well, over half of that is...

  2. Pac-12 Expansion Candidates - Academic Criteria

    I can't imagine for a second that the California schools would allow a school like Nevada. If folks here seriously think that would be OK'd, I don't think the conference cultural assimilation is yet complete.

  3. 2018 coaching carousel

    David Grace heads to Cal. And his UCLA exit paints Alford in a pretty bad light.... which I suppose is not hard to do. http://www.latimes.com/sports/nba/la-sp-ucla-david-grace-20180418-story.html

  4. Washington is now an Adidas school (dropped Nike)

    I think there are different factors for different schools, especially when you consider a brand's plans. Location, wins, size, alumni base/buying power etc. Not all schools check all the boxes. Not a stretch to imagine that UA has more to gain by outbidding and landing CU than paying Utah more.

  5. Washington is now an Adidas school (dropped Nike)

    I think there's a decent chance CU could have gotten more than Utah actually. Utah was already at UA, UA didn't need to over pay to get them like they did for everyone else. Under Armour's plan has been western expansion. CU is a pretty solid candidate when you consider how spread out in the...

  6. Washington is now an Adidas school (dropped Nike)

    If you ranked on cash alone, the list is pretty much the same.

  7. Washington is now an Adidas school (dropped Nike)

    Wilner with perfect timing: https://apps.mercurynews.com/newsletters/pac-12/

  8. Washington is now an Adidas school (dropped Nike)

    All you have to do is look at the comps for the same time frame, then look at what CU got. It's pretty clear this did not go to bid. IMO, the only schools in the Pac that are understandably beholden to Nike are Oregon, Stanford, and USC. Everyone else should go get the best deal possible. UCLA...

  9. Washington is now an Adidas school (dropped Nike)

    That's a great question. I actually don't know if this went to market. CU could have very easily just re-upped without putting itself on the market, it's Nike, plenty of schools do. Under Armour was on a buying spree during that time, they'd just inked a deal with CAL for far greater.

  10. Washington is now an Adidas school (dropped Nike)

    Yes, I'm making a case against Nike, not for UA. But I'm willing to bet that either Adidas or UA would have given CU more than Nike.

  11. Washington is now an Adidas school (dropped Nike)

    Most of this doesn't really matter for CU or most non top tier programs. Nike doesn't bother marketing smaller programs beyond their contractual obligations. And if you have a small contract, those obligations are bottom barrel. Their having more resources doesn't mean much when they don't spend...

  12. NCAA denies Ole Miss on its b.s. (was Not so fast on Shea Patterson at Michigan)

    For whatever reason, that's not happening. They're killing it right now.

  13. Official 2017 Coaching Carousel Thread - Zona hires Sumlin

    This is what it looks like to me, a mutual parting by two parties who knew it wasn’t working out. He’s been most successful while under Wilcox. Now he’s back. That, and Cal had an opening in this spot when their last LB coach got hired as Chip’s new DC in LA. According to this, he’s takimg a...

  14. Official 2017 Coaching Carousel Thread - Zona hires Sumlin

    I think it's less nefarious than that. 1) He has tons of great experience as a LB coach, but hasn't yet shown he's a good DC. Louisville wasn't happy with him. 2) His family and kids or on the West Coast. 3) Wilcox is his friend.

  15. Official 2017 Coaching Carousel Thread - Zona hires Sumlin

    Sirmon will just be a position coach there. DeRuyter calls the plays. He was essentially brought on because he's friends with Wilcox and for recruiting purposes.

  16. 2017-18 Uniform Thread

    Those look pretty damn beautiful.

  17. 2017-18 Uniform Thread

    Cal's gold, slightly different than their blues and road whites: Sticking with the clean, traditional look. Cal, UCLA, and Navy all got better uniforms than Maryland imo.

  18. PAC-12 2016 Coaching run down. Hot Seat or Not.

    UCLA went 8-5 last season.

  19. Davis Webb transfers to Cal, spurns CU

    Both Cal and UCLA publish the profile data of both their applicant pool and admits. Probably because they're both very high. Which is actually crazy considering how many applications they get. If you look at the numbers, their applicant pool averages higher than most colleges' admit pool...

  20. Davis Webb transfers to Cal, spurns CU

    According to the website: Pay the application fee The $70 application fee entitles a student to apply to one UC campus. If a student applies to more than one campus, he or she must pay an additional $70 for each campus selected.
