What leverage does the school have in this situation? In the case of SDSU and the MWC, why would the MWC willingly agree to extend the deadline of the discounted departure penalty? It sounds like the MWC conference told SDSU to pound sand which is what I would have expected.
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.

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.

Seeing $22M/ school thrown around a lot on Twitter for the PAC’s media deal. Right in that $10M neighborhood that would make things interesting.

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 doubt anybody would want to sign a 6 yr GOR at that number. 3-4 at most I’d bet.
