The PAC/MWC Dominoes Begin to Fall

No stadium mentioned. Stadium won’t be torn down in three weeks.

We’re still talking government here. They wouldn’t plan/commit/pay for demolition before the possibility of an FCS playoff game (even though we know that’s not in cards now). Information on funding for the stadium project is coming.

I’ll just say there are deadlines to CSU for agenda items for meetings like this that are like a month+ in advance. And, before that they’re months in the works with internal admin, counsel, etc.

Without officially getting our PAC12 invite and know what our portion of conference revenue share will be you can’t do the math to complete the CSU bond transactions.

Hopefully the PAC12 gives us a thumbs up soon so that we can present our financials to get everything moving forward.

Bummer a delay but big projects take time. Not sure when the next meeting will be held?

Shouldn’t matter. Presser they said stadium getting built regardless at 25k seats. Why say stadium completely down directly after the season when they knew that was not true? Next BOT will be late January.

Maybe the tribe who was spearheading, no pun intended, realized it was all hot air and took their pledges and bought the soccer team instead?

Dr. Wood and Orr have stated multiple times that the stadium is happening regardless of FBS invite so potential Pac revenues should have no bearing on the stadium.

Regarding the lack of Board items, it's disappointing but just not a major blow. It just sets the timeline back. The stadium renovation (and events center) has been on the master plan for years, so we'll only see approval of stadium plans when it gets to that point. I was hoping to see stadium financing on the Board agenda this time around. We'll have to wait for the next meeting in January.

I have a hard time seeing Dr. Wood go through this whole ordeal with the hopes of the Sky River folks bankrolling it. I sure he was hoping to lure in some of that money, but at the end of the day the students were always going to be the primary financial backers of this project and that isn't going to change.

It does matter because conference revenue share affects the P&L formula.

YES… the stadium is getting built regardless of FBS. The thing I believe you missed is that the sketches we have seen are of a premium equipped stadium. (Graphics etc).

The base model and the premium level are two very different price points. Like a house without upgrades or a new car w zero upgrades base model.

The better income that we can factor as revenues in addition to passed referendums by student body makes a difference in how well equipped our new stadium will be.

Still great advertising for SkyRiver having great exposure for all of our sports programs.

Casinos need diverse advertising channels and SAC ST FBS would be a great network.

This seasons record. Won’t make a difference over the coarse of a 5 or 10 yr contract. YES. Time to start winning!!!!
