“If the Mountain West Conference all would stay together & not be fooled into thinking there’s something greater out there & joining a Power 5 league because the Pac-12, no matter who they add, is not going to be an Autonomous 5 league for very long,” Burman prefaced before saying, “It’s clear & everybody around the country is talking about that. It’s just a matter of time & that will change its financial model dramatically, in my opinion, speaking for Tom Burman.
