Sure that's the internet assumption but we haven't seen any credible reporting on that at all from anybody.

Robbins is a Stanford guy. I thought I heard that some people think he’s on his way to Stanford as the next president. Current president Tessier-Lavigne is resigning effective Aug 31 due to the data manipulation situation.

Potential conflict of interest if he’s dragging his feet on this for UA knowing he might be boarding a burning ship soon in Palo Alto.
Not just Stanford. From his Arizona bio, he has an impressive academic-medical, administrative background multiple places:


Perhaps he is from Mississippi (based on earliest degrees)?

Agree though about conflict of interest.

It would be difficult for anyone in his shoes (including on PAC exec group?). Like does AZ alone leaving trigger everything else?

Honestly, it's following the same script as the CU exit.

"Show me the numbers" Followed by a meeting with no conclusion, followed by an executive BOR meeting. This afternoon, if they schedule an impromptu public session for tomorrow, it's time to get excited.

$19.7 million per team. Streaming. If get enough subscribers you make Pennies more per subscriber. So $19.7 million per team.
Wow. Worst case scenario for them if true. That’s the extreme low end of all estimates and zero tv exposure

So why hasn’t Arizona already announced they’re leaving for the Big 12? That deal is a joke.
Both them and ASU are meeting with the BOR this afternoon evening. Same thing CO had to do before they left. If i were a betting man, that announcement is coming

Discussions probably taking place. BY will honor the invitation to Arizona. But IMO ASU and Utah could be out now and Oregon and Washington may be in play with a deal this bad.

BY is on record ESPN would pay for up to 4 additional spots pro rata. Fox would pay for up to 2. But MAY be willing to pay 2 more spots with prior approval.

I am speculating that Fox will pay for Oregon and Washington. They would be foolish not to.

They scheduled the impromptu public meeting for today, right after the executive meeting.

What is Oregon worth on their own? I’d say they are worth $32 million. Washington too.

People forget how excited we were to play them in the fiesta I guess.
If ORWA and Washington weren't worth $45-$50M or more, they wouldn't be in the Big10 discussion.

ASU and UU are definitely worth $32M+. If CU &UA weren't close to $32M, we wouldn't be looking to add.

What some people are missing is the Big12, ACC and Pac12 revenues are very close today. With OuT in Big12 and USCLA in Pac12.

What the networks are saying LOUDLY is they no longer value the Pac12 because it is a 1 region conference. The Pac12 schools will have more value as part of Big12.

Honeslty, GK's best play is probably to shed a couple teams, and backfill with G5s willing to come in at half shares. The rest of the money can then be distributed to the current members and could perhaps get them close enough to $30 mil to not care.

That may be his plan. I don't buy that Colorado leaving caught him off guard.
