Look, we understand why you’re trying to change the subject here. You were dumb enough to make the ridiculous argument that academics were the reason Mizzou’s overtures were rejected. That was never remotely accurate. Not even a little bit. And if you don’t understand, after all of this, what Delany was after when looking for new members, you’re beyond help. You’re just here to argue, even when you have no support. Pitt and Mizzou were told “no”, Nebraska, Rutgers and Maryland were invited. Everyone except you understands why.
No... *YOU* are "trying to change the subject here".
I stated it was Mizzou's academics that was the deciding factor in keeping them out of the B1G. Then *YOU* chose to argue that, (ad nauseum) by stating it was SOLELY the ... "media reach" (which is an objective measure).
Now, in an effort to CONTINUE TO request that you help us all out with that identifiable measure, I will (once again!) ask you ... in all your infinite knowledge and wisdom, to identify PRECISELY what that "media reach" was.
So, again... very simple equation... fill-in-the-blank ...
"media reach" = ______________
What was that ... "media reach". If you don't know, you don't know. Just say so. There's no shame in admitting your ignorance.
GO!
For the umpteenth time, we all understand why you’re bailing out in your initial, ridiculous argument that academics kept Mizzou out of the Big 10. It’s an idiotic position for you to take and it’s not supported by any facts. You’re wise to admit you were completely wrong on that point.
As for media spread, you should’ve paid more attention to Jim Delany’s tenure and this wouldn’t be such a mystery to you. Mizzou didn’t deliver new eyeballs. Neither did Pitt. It’s why both were rejected. It wasn’t academics, as the Nebraska membership made perfectly clear. They brought both football tradition and anew media markets. Maryland and Rutgers also delivered new media markets, which is why they were invited to join. Mizzou and Pitt didn’t deliver this, which is why their interest was met with a firm “No, thanks”.
These facts have been explained to you on multiple posts, yet you seem unable to grasp them, preferring to argue an inferior position instead. It can’t be made any simpler, even for you.
LOL!
You took exception to my position, and tried to argue the decision to not allow Mizzou was due to ... "media reach"... which is an objective (and not a SUBjective) measure.
So, again... for a self-anointed SUPER smart poster, this should be easy... (just fill in the blank)
Mizzou "Media Reach" = _______________________
GO!
*sigh*... still waiting, but, alas, you seem to be unsure...
