Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

[Kinch]

Looks like Apple has turned the Pac 9 into a bunch of Amway reps.

I podcast Miller & Condon and Mundo was on today. He did not mince words on Canzano, saying he’s basically debased himself to make his readers feel good instead of doing any actual reporting (Ken agreed).

If the average of the remaining PAC 12 members is only $20 million per team and that includes Oregon and Washington, really doesn’t say much for most of them, especially Cal, Oregon State and Washington State, and Stanford. You would think Oregon, Washington and Utah, as much as they brag about themselves, would move the needle north of $20 for the whole conference.

That only works of ESPN, fox, etc are involved.

Do you got a link? I'd like to dive into this deeper

The AD said they cant pay him back in December. Deion being one of the reasons they left is pure twitter speculation from CO faithful. Prime took there football payroll from 3.5 mil, which was the largest theyd ever had, to his 5.9, plus the 5 mil for assistant coaches

Excited and aligned sounds like a Porn I'd much rather watch than anything they're going to produce out West.

Ironically, the porn video Exxxcited and Aligned, would probably be produced out West.

Stewie with a PACx drive by.

Things must be getting bleak.

Scooby do mask time to find who GK really is!

That tweet is awesome.

It's the press box. Every time I bring someone new to Jack trice, it's the first thing they comment on, how small and old the press box is. I don't know why it's not higher up on the to-do list. It makes us look minor league compared to a lot of P5 stadiums in that respect.

I was told the size of the press box doesn't matter. You bastards lied to me.

Which, fundamentally, means the media think those (ie OR/WA/AZ/ASU/UU) are more valuable in the B12. Wow!

An apt summary of the Pac12's media situation

Same. For years, I have been very adamant about refusing to subscribe to yet another streaming service. We have Netflix (mostly for the anime) and Amazon (mostly for the free shipping), and I grudgingly subbed to Disney+ this year (mostly for the Star Wars). Adding another sub - one that have...

If you’re going into a large press box you better have a large pencil.

Not sure about the pressbox, but CF just told me my upload was too large, so I'm feeling pretty good about myself...

The notes about Anime and Star Wars do NOT scream football fan

Yep no football fans watch star wars, the most popular science fiction franchise of all time.

 

[CyJam]

Good discussion going on here

These guys are a good listen and I like what they're saying.

 

[SlimCy]

Not true at all

It's not just even the teams that is the main problem. There aren't any good timeslots available. About the last best slot would be PAC after dark, and its medium value. All the most valuable spots (Fox noon, Fox evening, CBS afternoon, etc) are dedicated to SEC and B1G. Most of the medium value spots are also taken - including some by the Big12.

The buyers have very limited spots to put PAC games to make much money, so they can't afford to pay much money. I'd bet that is a bigger % of the problem than the teams/brands themselves.

You can thank BY for that, by the way - he quietly nuked them with the early renewal.

PS - this is also why a merger, adding 6 teams, or adding 4 teams that doesn't include UO and/or UW is probably not going to work without lowering the per-team payout.

Do these morons realize the b12 has been better than Pac at football and basketball basically forever?

LOL at those who think unequal sharing will save the day.

 

[LeaningCy]

RedditCFB just casually pointing out that someone noone trusts (Mhver) had it yesterday that someone everyone trusts (Thamel) is giving us today. I'm here for the chaos.

I don't have Twitter so can't see if there is more detail here, but is this saying the $1/subscriber/quarter escalator is for the conference to share or per school?

Let's say they get 25M subscribers (same as ESPN+ lol so not happening in GK's wildest dreams but **** it, let's pretend) who pay for their service year round, 4 quarters.

That's $100M split at least 9 ways if they add no other schools, so $11M/school total on top of $20M/school base, so $31M in the most wildly optimistic scenario possible? Please tell me this is what GK proposed today.

There's no doubt that a few programs would be heading for the door the moment they brought it up. Taking that $20 million and turning it into 17
