You are on an island on thatAAU status has zero to do with expansion. It isn’t even a question that ASU is many times over more attractive to a conference than Oregon or UW.
Expansion is about tv markets. Phoenix is Seattle and Portland combined. Had Phil Knight stuck with Oregon only, ok you could make an argument but Phoenix is the fastest growing city in the country which the only thing tv contracts care about. The bigoted Pac 12 conference wouldn’t include BYU. BYU is the exact reason the conference is in the bullshit shape it is in.You are on an island on that
Oregon is #1 in the PAC & #14 in the NCAA in revenue ASU way down the list. They don’t have the on field results, nor not even close to the facilities Oregon has. They may have the #11 TV market as Seattle sits at #12 and Portland at #21. They don’t have the viewers.Expansion is about tv markets. Phoenix is Seattle and Portland combined.

Your statement that PHX is the fastest growing city or metro area I knew wasn’t factual so I looked it up. PHX is growing at a fast clip but it’s not the fastest. Certainly way higher than Seattle or Portland. Not to turn this into politics but check out where the growth is.Expansion is about tv markets. Phoenix is Seattle and Portland combined.

So you put a chart that proves my point about markets. Anything else you would like to prove that ASU is more attractive than any other school in the conference?Your statement that PHX is the fastest growing city or metro area I knew wasn’t factual so I looked it up.

There performance on the field to start with. You said it was all about viewership or tv market. Oregon doubles ASU in viewership. I put the chart out there cause you said Phoenix was thaw fastest growing metro area, which is not true.So you put a chart that proves my point about markets.

Oregon doesn’t double shit. If that was the real case then Boise State would’ve been the 11th member before Colorado or Utah were invited into the former Pac 12. You posted a chart proving my point, what are you talking about, put a bunch of markers that were filled with already captured markets except for the one with the fake Seattle market.There performance on the field to start with.

Look at the viewership chart - ding dongOregon doesn’t double shit.

Viewership doesn’t matter as I have explained to you. More viewers watch Oregon Ducks games but who is the much more attractive team in tv negotiations, Rutgers or Oregon? Phoenix is the only market west of Texas that is worth a nickel right now.Look at the viewership chart - ding dong
Lol - but their program isn’tViewership doesn’t matter as I have explained to you. More viewers watch Oregon Ducks games but who is the much more attractive team in tv negotiations, Rutgers or Oregon? Phoenix is the only market west of Texas that is worth a nickel right now.
They got invited to the B1G didn’t they as opposed to Oregon. Oregon is cute, but you are just like UW fans with your delusions of what you are mean.
Wazzu fans are barely P5 fans. ASU was never invited to the B1G. Just a matter of time before UO, Stanford, & UW are.They got invited to the B1G didn’t they as opposed to Oregon. Oregon is cute, but you are just like UW fans with your delusions of what you are mean.

Never said ASU was but I guaranteed Arizona State will be in the B1G before Oregon or Washington. The Seattle market is split between three schools, Portland is by 3. Cal doesn’t have fan base nor do they have administration that cares about sports. Stanford has zero fan base but they are public and a rival of Notre Dame. If Fox can negotiate with NBCUniversal add Stanford and Notre Dame to the package and the tv deal would easily the most money a conference could getWazzu fans are barely P5 fans.

Rutgers is in the B1G, yes or no?
