They easily make 5x that, in profit alone, in a single day so I don’t see why not! On a real note, Micron would only really be able to do sponsorships (jersey patches, banners, stadium, etc.) It’s more employees, shareholders, or execs with stock that would have to donate to the NIL.

@willmbetts @Cola3036 So what I’m hearing is 35mil a year earmarked for NIL incoming?

Micron became a $1 trillion company today, and moved up to #10 nationally in market value, both for the first time ever. Idaho joins Washington, California, Texas, and Nebraska as the only states with a $1 trillion+ company. A new target price raise released by UBS this morning has it reaching $1600+ per share, or about $1.8 trillion in market value, within the next year.

@DownOnTheBlue There must’ve had to have been 1000+ phone calls between them by this point right? 🤔 The people want a Micron jersey patch

@willmbetts Now hopefully Boise State can leverage that part!

@SeanWinnett Not too thrilled more games would mean more TV revenue for the P2 to collect, but parity is always for sure a huge win.

@willmbetts It’s almost like better access creates more parity 😅😂

Getting this whole vibe Greg Sankey is nervous a bigger CFP field would expose more SEC teams to more upsets, and the threat of a “super league breakaway” loses weight as the years go on.

Must see TV starting Friday. Yale is initially going to be mad confused about why the tension is so high.

@kevin_hiatt @spook_scare All I gotta say is RIP Colt Brennan 🙏

@JoeInOregon_87 @mike_aztec24258 Mark Zeigler from the San Diego Union-Tribune. He was the first to break the settlement news just right before Wilner.

@willmbetts @mike_aztec24258 Who is the last guy?

Pac-12 vs MW Settlement Estimates: Canzano: 'Less' than $78m Wilner: 'Heavily' under $65m Zeigler: $65m is 'wrong'

@TheZagaholic Think we’re all looking forward to some certain MW fanatics, that only talk about the Pac to stay relevant, become completely irrelevant when it’s all said and wrapped up. 🤔

Good luck Rebel Girl! Its been super fun reading your fan fiction over the last year. Hope yall can figure out how to survive the new world of college athletics with pennies on the dollar compared to what you could have had in the Pac 12. Godspeed! 🫡

@LunalNewport Writers associated with the MW have been real quiet. Only really those two have spoken out, and Wilner’s bullish opinion on the case is especially surprising given his usual conservative takes on the conference.

If Canzano/Wilner are proven correct this will be solid analysis as to why

@BradenTClark That’s a great observation.

@willmbetts The question is, why are the MWC talking heads quiet on the numbers?

@OmarRashonBorja @_redshirtsports @SSN_ColoradoSt @WCCSG_ Not working, at least on my end

With Washington State considering moving its PAC-12 flex game to Seattle, I discuss the logic of Colorado State moving theirs to Denver on @_redshirtsports! @SSN_ColoradoSt @WCCSG_ @willmbetts redshirtsports.xyz/should-colorad…

@stevebyrnelive Dear lord.

This is rich coming from her. Here's a personal story of the irony here: 2007, CH does The Tonight show w Jay Leno. She makes fun of Angelina Jolie & her newly adopted son, 3 yr old Pax, who is Asian. CH: “He probably doesn’t even realize he’s Asian yet! He certainly doesn’t know he’s going to be a horrible driver… or that he’s going to be amazing at doing nails!” The next few days there was plenty of outrage, disappointment & accusations of racism levied against NBC. 2 weeks later, I'm booked on The Tonight Show & I've already had my set approved. I was told, I can't tell any of my jokes because of the blowback of her hacky, racist jokes. Yes, I couldn't tell jokes about being Asian because she did so much damage making fun of Asians. Then, weeks later of 2007, I performed at a showcase where CH was present. Prior to, I had never spoken to, met or interacted with her & as I was wrapping up my set, I mentioned her in the crowd? It's odd to see a comedian sitting in a showcase watching w audience, so I mentioned it in passing. She then yelled out "you're doing a great little Asian job". MY POINT: I personally know Shane & Tony aren't racist. In fact, I don't think Chelsea is racist. Sure, she's got a long history of promiscuity, an affinity for day drinking, publicly stated she's prescribed a healthy dose of anti depressants, rumored to be awful to work for or with, has a punch card to a plastic surgeon, accused of punching down in her comedy, never been married or had kids & lives alone in her 50s, had dinner with Jeffrey Epstein but c'mon gang, she's not racist.

Spot on with AFA. I think there’s a line to be drawn with any school that turns down a conference twice, unless the Pac leaders are desperate to fill that 9th school. UNLV to the American would make sense there, but do they agree to a partial share? Or do the other American members vote to give them a full share? June 9th will be here soon.

@willmbetts Totally. Would be very interesting. I do think AFA is destined for the AAC either now or in 2931 when any payments dry up. It'll be interesting to see what UNLV does. Still have an offer to the PAC? Head to the American? Either way Gloria bought time to bring in some teams.

Best case scenario for the PAC would be $46M owed. That's what they expected to actually pay & reportedly offered. The $150M is the MWC best case but since they are settling, that won't be it. Not trying to cosplay lawyer, it's just fun to guess so here's mine: $68M. Rationale👇

That and also think it’s a bit of the MW presidents wanting to drag the fight out a little bit based on resentment. To me the quotes from over the years and fast tracking GCU kind of insist that. Theoretically, a scenario where the settlement money comes in way below $50m for any reason, there is a 3 week gap if AFA and UNLV decide to jump ship. It would give the NDSU addition a whole another backstory.

@willmbetts Thanks man! Who knows what's actually happening behind those doors😅 Imo the lawsuit was as much for Gloria about buying time & selling hope. The time allowed her to grab NDSU, UTEP, NIU, UC Davis and retain the rest. Does all that happen if she immediately settles? Idk.

@OmarRashonBorja @SonsOfNutmeg @1BroncoBeliever @BJRains @CFBNewEngland @WCCSG_ @TNTCollegeFoot1 Agreed. On a different note, and still likely the case today, it is kind of fascinating Boise State had a deeper viewer base in Washington, Oregon, & Utah more than Ohio State. That being said, what’s going on in Arkansas 🤣

I remember flipping between the Kent State-Ohio State/UConn-Boise ABC reverse mirror not realizing how good we had it. This noon ABC regional slate would be comfort food today. 🥲 @SonsOfNutmeg @1BroncoBeliever @BJRains @willmbetts @CFBNewEngland @WCCSG_ @TNTCollegeFoot1

Check out my new piece for @bythebelt on a possible @KentStFootball appearance on NBC! It’s time to get the history books and newspapers out! @KSUAgendaPusher @SSN_KentState

I now see you're both about 3 minutes apart. I just read your piece, and after quoting Wicker on expecting exit fees to drop to $10m + previous realignment lawsuits paying out the same at roughly half, I don't see a prediction number on your end. If you think Wilner is wrong, then are you insisting it's over $65m?

@willmbetts A) He wasn't first. B) He's wrong on the number.

Wilner was the first person I’m aware of that broke the Pac-12 vs. MW settlement news. He said to heavily bet the settlement coming in under $65 million. 👀

@AssetKeen $55m

@willmbetts Where do we place our bets? I am $52M (55% of the $95M in exit fees only).
