More Pac-12 Turmoil
- Thread starter Gorm
- Start date
At the time of the last round of expansion and the media deals that followed, much of the conventional wisdom was that the Big 12 had poor management and a weak position because they passed on a conference owned TV network. I think time has shown that despite the heat they took, the Big 12 was very smart in resisting expansion and shrewdly managing their media rights. Now that the cable TV model is crumbling, other conferences with massive media infrastructure are going to be the ones with limited options and higher overhead.
There's more work to be done, but I gotta say the Big 12 has actually proven to me that they aren't afraid to do things differently than the other guys.

6 Minutes to Kick off:
Those $25 tickets must have been too steep for the average fan.
The Big 12 has better payouts then the Pac 12. Two years in a row OU has made the CFP and Texas is back in the top of the conference. As long as OU and UT are happy (which they have to be) in the current Big 12, I wouldn't worry about realignment in a few years. If anything, we may poach a couple Pac 12 teams in a few years (looking at you Arizona and ASU).
Whoa. They have a bigger tarp than Baylor. That’s not easy.6 Minutes to Kick off:
Glad Texas had a good year so that they feel better about the big 12. Texas is still in for a ride awakening the next time they negotiate for the longhorn network. Playing on that channel showed me what a s***show that channel is. I'm not sure I want to expand west given pac12 problems and WVU being in our conference. I'm good with 10. Keep building those brands and splitting the playoff money 10 ways.
Buzzword list:
strategic direction
revitalized
initiative
integrated
robust
energized
full potential
I have no idea how the financials work out in the future. Expand if we must. Otherwise, l really, really like the 10 team format.
I think the Big 12 football championship helped Oklahoma this year. Although that may not always be the case, I think overall adding the Championship game helps the confrence. Its kind of a "prove it" game.

Like flashcards from the briefcase of the MBA starter pack...

This is a surprise to no one who has seen a Big IIXII game.
58 seconds to make the call, and 40 seconds to come up with some plausible justifications for it.
If he didn't mention paradigm shifts, he deserves to fail.
I feel bad for WSU. I'm excited to watch them play the Cyclones in the Alamo Bowl and it should be a fun game. That being said, they absolutely should have made a New Years 6 game. Seems like Pac-12 turmoil is getting to the ADs too.

With the Pac-12 teetering on the brink of irrelevance in regard to the College Football Playoff discussion the past several weeks, Washington State athletic director Pat Chun believes that led to the Cougars being ranked lower, at No. 13, than they should have been in the selection committee's final rankings.
"We can easily infer that where we're ranked is a result of maybe the perception of the league," Chun said.

Well the PAC-12 certainly did itself no favors last bowl season.
The Big 12 Championship helps the entire conference no matter the outcome. It's a money generator. We really hit a home run this year getting Oklahoma into the playoff AND Texas into the Sugar. I'm sick of OU's success, but I'll be rooting like hell for them to beat Bama and possibly win a 'ship for our conference. We need one.
If OU beats Bama, I'm wearing some OU stuff into work the next day.
I look forward to doing our part in pouring some gas on this dumpster fire in the form of an awful PAC w/l record this bowl season.
