As I said before I don’t know why it really matters. Worst case scenario is we’re exactly where we were a few days ago. Big 12 isn’t on the chopping block no matter what happens.
And if they're invited to the Big12, it needs to come with a lengthy GOR. Otherwise, we'll be back here again in a couple years talking about Oregon to the Big10. Take out the legs of the PAC and force OU and UW to make a decision.
With the numbers being thrown around, Option 1 is already pretty much eliminated. Of course they’d prefer to stay together, but if you’re going to be making 4-5x less than the B1G/SEC and 2x less than the Big 12 for ~10 years with all expansion options out there…the writing is on the wall. I don’t even see unequal sharing as an option…just more discontent and instability. Add to that the fact that FOX has pretty much shunned them and ESPN is the only partner in play for 30 days…yikes.
I'm just tired of all this, period. Even if we do seem to be safe.As I said before I don’t know why it really matters. Worst case scenario is we’re exactly where we were a few days ago. Big 12 isn’t on the chopping block no matter what happens.
This guy seems to be way more plugged into the current situation than anyone else. This really makes sense from a Big 10 perspective. No need to be in a hurry at all.
If in that order, then Pac12 adds BYU and Houston which then puts the B12 in a position of demise. People don't realize how important it was to keep the Houston market strong.big12 needs to drop the new editions (cfu, cinci, byu and houston) and add 6 top pac 12s
lolololol/ not even the 10th most popular team in texas. get deal dude. houston tvs will be on SEC network. not houston v byuIf in that order, then Pac12 adds BYU and Houston which then puts the B12 in a position of demise. People don't realize how important it was to keep the Houston market strong.
Probably. But it’s weird you find it necessary to take it upon yourself to make these points on this board.Big12 will easily be #3.
Yep, he is the best source currently on this subject.He's plugged in through PAC 12 schools though. So everything you're getting is through PAC eyes.
I don't think it matters as much in a P2+1 or P3 world.a long term GOR requires a long term TV deal, and I'm not sure the conferences or the networks want to do that. The networks would love an ACC type long term commitment but the conferences would hate that. The conferences would love a long term high dollar commitment but the networks don't really want that.
I think a ton would, though they would ***** until the end of time about it.Honest question here, do you think a ton of isu fans would pay $25 per month to watch their team? Only reason why I ask is people keep pointing out how cheap the fan base is. I have no idea if this is actually true but it is something I see posted regularly in regards to donations and NIL. Obv paying to watch the games is different then those things which is why I ask the question.
The playoffs are a big deal- but who gains the rights will be part of an open bidding process. Plus, I bet the playoff is split between 2 media partners.Also, for those who are confused who ESPN wants to survive, think about who helps them make money the most. It’s the big XII. I know the lawsuit situation and such but what will make them the most money? The playoffs. Who said yes to the playoffs, the big XII did. Kill the conferences who voted against it (wasn’t it the PAC and ACC?) and get three conferences that say yep, let’s go.
Makes sense that they would now be helping the big XII kill the PAC more than trying to help the PAC survive.
The bigger schools that would try to keep the Pac 12 on life-support are just waiting out the B1G and hoping they get an invite once more dominos fall.
Oregon and Washington will probably be forced to join the Big 12 if Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, and Utah bolt.
And they'll have to sign a GOR (which they probably don't want to do if they think the B1G could come calling in like 2 years).
The four mountain schools as far as I can see really have no benefit to sticking around unless someone decides to throw a bunch of money their way temporarily.
He is money, and a straight shooter.Yep, he is the best source currently on this subject.

My man if it bothers you so much put me on ignore. I get messages from people saying they like my interaction but I get that some will immediately be against it just because I’m not an ISU alum.Probably. But it’s weird you find it necessary to take it upon yourself to make these points on this board.
