It's very detailed with the AA and its also a status that once you are deemed one, then you will never lose that status in the eyes of the AA. Simply buying tickets or purchasing food or what have you, does not make you a booster. You make a donation for season tickets, then yes you are in the club in the eyes of the AA.
I also love the reporters who keep making the point about Gruden not wanting the workload that comes with being a college coach, as if being an NFL Head Coach is equivalent to being a substitute teacher or something.
I'm looking for motivations. I just want to figure it out before the announcement. I think Gruden may also be a pawn.
I highly doubt that we will be able to totally get it nailed down before it is actually announced...
But it wouldn't surprise me if Dish Network were to merge with another entity in the near future, and possibly purchase the rights to MNF.
I am sure you are way ahead of me on this. Just trying to put the pieces together myself.
We seem to be sharing in the anguish.
Again why do people bring up the amount of work it takes. Being a Monday night football analyst is a 19 hour work day. They have to know inside and out football teams, not only the starters, but all the way down to the practice squad. Must know in depth every offensive and defensice scheme in deoth, not to add the endorsement deals and sponserships that requiring engagements speaking and just showing up. Commercials and tons of paper work.
When beave posted stalking horse my initial thought/memory was in my former career of M&A. Its not terribly common, probably because it's hard to prove from the outside. I've heard of it before but have no direct experience with it. Concep's post was definitely something I haven't though of before and given our outsider knowledge and the extremely secretive, fast paced world of mergers, it's not something with are likely to figure out unless told. But it's still very intriguing.
Heck it would take the NCAA 10 years to figure out if there was a violation. I am only half kidding,:lolabove: I don't think Gruden has talked to Mays anyways. The NCAA needs a better way of doing investigations to begin with. Enough of this, GRUDEN TO THE HILL! SOON!!!!!
