Message: [QUOTE="MadNY3, post: 5099062, member: 441"] The Commissioner of the Conference is a PT Barnum-type hustler. He had a career of doing a lot of wince-worthy things to make a buck, but in many ways, he's a good fit for a challenger brand like the Big XII. He's acted fast (e.g. stealing teams to start the Pac 12 demise) and looking to helps his members secure a war chest to compete with the SEC/Big Ten with the thought of raising the overall value of the league from an assumed jump in football performance. The Pac 12 looked to raise capital years ago because of its debt issues. This is an attempt to go on offense. Reality is I'd feel better with someone like him heading the ACC, than Phillips, who is too traditional and seemingly playing scared. [/QUOTE]
