Feel like **** is being thrown against the wall at this meeting.
Sometimes I just can't fathom the logic (or lack thereof) of some people on the board. ESPN owns ACC on the cheap. ACC ego teams want more, now! Pac12 in desperation wants to merge with ACC? Which effectively would eliminate the ACC GOR, which opens up litigation from ESPN for them not fulfilling the contract OR even worse yet opens them up to market negotiations for a new media contract. I just can't see enough money coming to the table at this time for that no matter who is involved.Depends on what they mean by merger. But if it means merging the conferences and has a media deal tied in there, then FSU, Clemson, etc. have their golden parachute to jettison out. There's no way that doesn't give them the leverage to null in void the current ACC GOR.
The combined conference would get money. This is a pretty decent lineup at the top.
Oregon
Washington
FSU
UNC
Duke
Virginia
Clemson
Arizona
Pitt
Miami
This might be a nightmare scenario for those douchebags. They wanted to avoid being called out at the one who killed the conference, but if Oregon and UDub go, it's unofficially dead and everyone with an option runs for the exits.Big 10 call has been scheduled to discuss Oregon and Washington today.
So it sounds like they got their numbers last night from B1G, told the B1G they weren't going to take the deal, told ole GK to fire up another meeting baby, let's sign that piece of **** deal, which then made the B1G come back with another offer?Big 10 call has been scheduled to discuss Oregon and Washington today.
Yeah, but only 3 of those 10 you listed would be from the PAC. It could possibly mean more money, but why pay the other 6 PAC schools more than what you'd have to pay them to stay the PAC? Plus, to pay more, you are changing the contract, changing the contract would open the GOR, open the GOR and FSU, Clemson and at least one other are gone immediately.The combined conference would get money. This is a pretty decent lineup at the top.

absolutely this, and i feel like most of its coming from asu and uu, at this point why even save them, what do they add?Feel like **** is being thrown against the wall at this meeting.
Yea, conferences have played with an odd number teams for extended periods. Going with an 8 or 10 game conference schedule is the most traditional approach. But there are ways to get creative.No. Rework the schedule. Taking ****** Uconn because 'the schedule doesn't work' is as dumb as it gets.
