Interview with Doug Fullerton

[SLCBengal]

This was a very interesting interview and worth reading...

SacStateSports Publisher Bill Bradley conducted a phone interview with Fullerton earlier this week. The outspoken commissioner talked about the expansion of the league, the battles with the Western Athletic Conference, FBS and FCS postseason formats, the Big Sky’s basketball troubles and a new media deal on the horizon.

One reason the Pac-12 expanded was that it wanted a better TV deal. Is that on your mind as you drive league expansion? Do you foresee some sort of Big Sky TV national contract?

You’re probably going to see us signing a new media deal within the next 30 days.

Does that include a national TV deal for football?

I have a non-disclosure deal that would cost me my first-born child if I disclose anything about what we’re talking about. Let me say I’m very excited about what we’re talking about. There are people in that industry recognizing that we may be the conference that begins to fill that space in the West.
