I don’t understand why players drop the ball on the ground as they are passing the goal line.
And it wasn’t even close; he dropped it like a full yard out before the goal line
They put up 68 points the last time they came to Jack Trice.
It's not a bluff from FSU's perspective. And as far as ESPN is concerned, they could lose FSU if the B1G takes them.
No single actor controls everything here; not even ESPN. There's no doubt that FSU wants out and will take an SEC/B1G invite if they can manage to beat the GOR and land one
This is the thought I keep coming back to I regards to Big XII going to 16.
Even more than the Fox paying more thoughts, I really don't know what FSU can do in their current situation.
Was a CW post before he deleted it saying where is all the Fox money coming from if they are going to pay for Wash/Oregon and ASU/UU at partial to full shares.
If I'm running the B1G or SEC, I'm not touching them until they're cleared, so it seems likely that they're going to have to win a big legal battle (or pay a huge buyout) before even being 100% assured of a spot.
The ACC is like an NFL RBs on a rookie deal. A ton of value for what they are. That rookie deal runs out in 2036 and some of them will get a lucrative contract while others will be happy to stay in the league. But there will be no contract negotiations before that deal runs out.
Ah, wasnt sure if you were meaning the AAU, or something else. Thanks for the clarification.
(Stanford already in the AAU)
The new Big 12 deal is 20M each from ESPN and ~12M each from Fox.
The current Pac-12 deal is 250M total from ESPN and Fox. Assuming a 50/50 split, that's ~10.4M per team from Fox.
If Fox is all-out on the Pac-12 going forward, Fox only needs to come up with an additional ~1.6M for each Pac-12 school that jumps to the Big 12.
I’m guessing he deleted it because it’s already been reported by McMurphy that FOX and ESPN are both committed to full share pro rata payments to any P5 additions to the Big 12 up to 16 schools. I think Thamel reported something similar and also said UConn was not approved yet for a full share by the networks.
To extrapolate on your example further, many of them coming off that rookie deal won't get the lucrative contract they deserve due to the perceived value of the position, while others will get the lucrative deal that in a matter of a couple of years people will regret giving that deal.
BYU has a national fan base though, so relegating it to Utah’s population isn’t accurate.
