I'm in denial about video from an actual press conference? lol
Bro, what more visual evidence do you need?
It's crazy how the human mind will not allow you to process information that contradicts your previous belief.

But, he also said the move was ultimately a lateral one financially ... so that $400 - $500K savings on travel will probably be offset by other costs/revenue shortages elsewhere.
That is what lateral tends to mean. It is another way of saying you are basically breaking even.
Hence, the reason why he also talked a great deal about the extra benefits of students spending less time on the road and more time being able to experience campus life.
They were just trying to find any and every way possible to sell this move to the masses.

Aggie2039, Please email our athletic director and express your displeasure with what he said. Don’t get hot at BT for providing the footage that substantiates what he stated. Financially - LATERAL MOVE Competition - VERTICAL MOVE
No one put a gun to Hilton and forced those statements from him....

I think this is how Trump voters process the evening news.
No matter what kind of the visual evidence you put in front of them, their mind is just conditioned to reject anything they don't want to hear.

I read the article multiple times. Hilton only mentions "travel expenses" being reduced. He does not mention total expenses at all. There will be other expenses that will increase because of the move. We may add sports, upgrade facilities, and increase recruiting budgets. There by being a lateral move financially.

You just proved my point...That expenses you named have nothing to do with staying or leaving the MEAC. You can not change the fact that he stated we will save $500K on travel by not being in the MEAC. If we stayed in the MEAC wouldnt have that additional cash to invest in facilities or increased recruiting budget.

Maxell, save your energy.
If Hilton himself can not convince this guy about the lateral move WITH HIS OWN WORDS, I am afraid there is not much you and I can do.

If you take the time not to read a news article and bypass your biases nobody can help you. The AD stated we will save $500K on travel.... OK the AD said its a lateral but also stated we will save $500K annually. He said both so
