On the Monty show they addressed the issue again that involves OSU and WSU. Monty spoke again today with their contacts at the BIG 12 and WSU. Monty and his sidekick really hammered the people who are spreading this junk about the BIG 12 taking in OSU and WSU.
"Locked on the BIG 12" pod cast is a "conspiracy theorist" and "he is completely wrong!". Monty said its contact at WSU LAUGHED when he mentioned the money that this tin foil hat guy on the Locked on the BIG 12 spoke about $300 million is coming to the PAC 2 due to the football play-offs. Oregon State University has already approached the Oregon State Legislature indicating they are going to have a $25 million shortfall that will need to be covered. Do you think that they would have done this if they were getting $300 million from the NCAA for playoff money? Also, the BIG 12 rep again today reiterated his statement that the BIG 12 and OSU and WSU are not in any type of communication and that the BIG 12 is not interested in taking on any more schools at this time!
The contact that Monty has at WSU asked the following question, "Would we be spending tens of millions to keep the PAC alive if we were going into the BIG 12?" He reiterated that the WSU contact laughed when he was approached with the stuff the "Hooked on the BIG 12" was spreading. Evidently about 3 weeks ago a conspiracy theorist went onto Hooked on the BIG 12 pod cast and that is where this junk started.
The problem is that many tin foil hat OSU and WSU fans are running with this stuff and desperate to have someone validate it, and they are utterly resistant to hearing anything that does not have OSU and WSU going into the BIG 12. I bet even after this is all over, and the two PAC 2 schools are with the MWC in some capacity these so-called fans will be saying, why didn't the powers at the two schools take the deal and enter the BIG 12? The reason is very simple, there is nothing for the schools to accept in relation to going to the BIG 12. I also understand that the schools are trying to come to some type of conclusion with the lawsuit in the next three weeks. It was mentioned that the talks with the MWC are in an advanced stage. Would OSU and WSU be in an advanced stage of discussion with the MWC if they were getting all of this money to go to the BIG 12?
I would expect to see things move quickly with OSU and WSU when the lawsuit gets settled and it should make scheduling pretty interesting next year. Even at this time, OSU and WSU have a ton of stuff to do before next season and the MWC will also have a ton of stuff to do, and they are going to need to get going on that ASAP.
P.S. - What we (the conference as a whole) need to do imo, is to move as quickly as possible in bringing in Gonzaga in the new conference.
