A. Root football schedule release.
B. New Root contract for basketball games.
C. Dropping down to 12 members gets us slightly closer to a balanced FB schedule so they're adding two more members to make things wor$e.

I'd guess something mostly irrelevant like a rebranding/new logo for the conference. The current one has been around for quite some time now.

Adding 6 more directional schools.

EWU and Portland state dropping football.
Northern Colorado drops to division II.
NAU joins the WAC.

Now I’m not going to get any rest!

The schedule release for 2022-2025 conference games.

Well they can't do that till Eastern Washington decides if they're going to have football or not.

I’m guessing nothing exciting, a new online store or something.

The original tweet implies something related to TV/media but they're not that clever.

I'll happily eat my hat if it's something interesting, but I'm guessing it might not even be as exciting as an online store. I bet it's some rebrand like somebody mentioned before. So irritating when companies and organizations give you a tease and it's something like they got a new copier in the main office.

Media rights.

They can't wait forever. I don't think Eastern will drop down either. They've been too successful over the last couple decades.

Hopefully something that benefits the league and the fans and some hokey rebranding. How about a broadcast standard that applies to every school. That would be a nice thing to have.

The griz are finally getting the respect they deserve and will be moving to the SEC.

Supposedly moving to ESPN family of networks.

Saw on a different site that BSC is moving to ESPN+ This fall. Done deal. My experience with ESPN + isn’t entirely positive. I still hope we get Root for big games. They do a pretty good job imo.

Yeah, moving to ESPN+ doesn’t do anything about the quality of the broadcasts. Moving networks just means we have to pay to watch the Cats instead of watching for free on Pluto.

Moving away from Root would be a huge setback. They do a phenomenal job. Using ESPN+ for any games that Root doesn’t pick up would be okay. I am assuming that ESPN+ would use local production like SWX for the broadcast. This could be a great development for those out of the SWX broadcast area.
