Listened to a podcast this morning and the host was like “Oh sure we can do that to help you out. Anything else you need?” Lol.
Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)
- Thread starter ISUcyclones11
- Start date
It makes no sense for MWC to consider a discount. Especially, if SDSU departure causesTV partners to open up MWC TV Rights contract due to SDSU leaving.
I for one think it's kind of cool to have Colorado come back. I mean how often does conference realignment bring a school back to its old league?
Make enough money to pay bills, get high end coaches and deliver a product that people want to see. There can only be one of the ACC, Pac and B12 survive in the end. BIG 12 looks good for now.
I think $5MM is interesting, at $10MM it is a no brainier to get more money. A 6 year deal is $60MM just in TV revenue. This doesn't include additional bowl and NCAA tourney revenue as I believe Big 12 will get more per school than the PAC.
If it's $10M difference, there's just no way it stays together. UA & CU will bolt - at least.
HOWEVER
if that $22M per still is legit even if 2 teams leave and are backfilled by SDSt and SMU... then you could get the 8 remainers up to $25M by giving the 2 newcomers a half-share.
If you take that another step to 4 teams leave, and add 4 replacements who get half shares -- then the remaining 6 could get almost $30M each. Its probably a stretch to keep the same $22M per team, but MAYBE just UW/UO are worth that much for their games, idk.
Teams would leave before the deal is signed, and a new deal will be presented after that for less.
That’s assuming if those teams leave the contract stays the same. If you backfill with G5 the amount is going to go down.
Also 10mil might not be enough depending on which school it is and how the travel costs play out.
As someone who has only been paying a mild level of attention to this, has there be any word as to what networks/streaming platforms are still bidding on the P12 package?
If this is roughly 22 million for Apple exclusivity, I'd be very curious to see what the potential losses attached to low visibility would come out to be.

Sounds like Apple with a sublicense to linear for a game or two per week. Maybe ESPN but also maybe the CW or Ion.
The current ACC payouts always should have been our North Star for this. Why should the PAC minus USC/UCLA get more than the ACC?
I keep seeing posts about production costs. Wonder is Apple is picking that up or if the PAC will kick in
I’d guess by the end of the month. Especially if the PAC wants to add a school like SDSU.
I doubt anybody would want to sign a 6 yr GOR at that number. 3-4 at most I’d bet.
