I'm gonna be disappointed if the announcement doesn't involve Methodists when it finally comes from the brotherhood of elite secular higher learning that happens to play foosball.
But from a Pac9 perspective, if we are both saying Colorado really wasn't a big deal for the league, then you could have replaced Washington St with Colorado in this and the we would be in the same boat? I don't know about that.It means something, in my mind, because it simply can’t be the end. It’s been covered a little bit already (@HoopsTournament covered it briefly). It is impossible to schedule with 13 teams. Not just “hard”, but mathematically impossible, so the Big12 has to add another institution.
The prevailing thought is that institution is Arizona, and Arizona leaving would cripple the PAC. If Arizona doesn’t leave, we’re staring directly at UCONN.
The cards are stacked against the PAC, for sure, but all things being equal, SDSU replacing CU isn’t as far fetched as people think. The problem for the PAC is how much it would cost SDSU to make such a move ($34M exit fee) plus the fact the PAC has, presumably at best, a ****** deal on the table that GK will present tomorrow.
I've received a leaked copy of Kliavkoff's presentation of the TV rights deal:

Agree, the Buffs don't move the needle much on their own. However, it's one more spin on the PAC's death spiral. No deal and bad offers = Buffs move. No deal and worse deal = AZ moves. Still no deal and worse offers = OR/WA/ASU/UT have a tougher time resisting.He has a point. Again…the Buffs, by themselves, mean close to nothing.
Wonder if GK's "deal" is for 8 or 9 or 10 or 11 or 12 teams, maybe for a merger with MWC, guess we get to find out tomorrow,
Yet the University of Kansas goes by KU. That always had bothered me.
What if the deal was there and he simply didn’t want to present it to CU?
No way that is what happened, but to Scheer’s point, it is all very interesting that GK all of a sudden has something to present that he didn’t have a couple days ago? Weird.
MU, CU, OU...always seemed weird.Yet the University of Kansas goes by KU. That always had bothered me.
My next Freemasons meeting is going to be lit when we start scheming our next moves.I'm gonna be disappointed if the announcement doesn't involve Methodists when it finally comes from the brotherhood of elite secular higher learning that happens to play foosball.
Could be for sureCould there have been numbers/deal there and GK didn't share because he was trying to get more?
