WVU’s Administration ever dropped the ball like, by his own admission, San Diego St. AD JD Wicker admits he did?
Quote from their AD, Wicker:
“With anything you look at, you have to do the financial calculus of does it make sense?” said Wicker, SDSU’s athletic director. “It’s like with the Big 12. The Big 12 wanted us to come in at basically a half-share with no opportunity to make any money in the new TV deal that they just started. Why would we do that? We would have been sitting at the bottom of the league looking up, with no opportunity to do anything.”
They will make something less than $4M next year and more importantly, the opportunity to elevate their program is now likely forever dead.
I am still amazed of the poor leadership exhibited during the PAC TV negotiations - but this likely takes the cake.
