Hmm….

Wasn't a verbal Alliance what got them into this mess to begin with?

Oh hells bells

Imagine getting outmaneuvered by Kevin Warren.

 

[stateofmind]

That's a harder read than the bible.

 

[CycloneErik]

Unless it's only $21M, then you won't?

I'll go ahead and claim that one. My standards aren't very dreamy on that front.

If I'm reading this chart right, Colorado, Oregon State, and Wazzu would be near perfect fits in the Big XII while Oregon, ASU, UA, and Utah are more closely aligned with the Big XII than PAC outliers of UW, Stanford, USC, and UCLA.

Yep....if academics really mattered in the way he says, and the data sources he uses is accurate. But even than as it shows, he cant follow his own data findings.

The boulder might finally be moving. No pun intended lol

**should also say not getting a Big 12 deal, either.

only way they're getting bronze is if 100% of games are streaming and even that seems unlikley.

ESPN isn't going to be paying more than what they pay the Big 12.

Oh hells bells

This **** is tiresome. Once something happens it will happen. These twitter dorks dont no ****. Let me guess the next twatter will be about AZ and CU having a private meeting with their respective boards of regents. Its all nonsense garbage.[/MEDIA]

 

[CyCrazy]

Well I screwed that post up.

Maybe the UA President was saying they will win the bronze because they are days from joining Big12!!

I think he’s getting the bronze either way. Either the PAC gets it(they won’t), or they join the Big12.

Show me the MONEY!!! <.gif>

After months of being quiet or flat out denying any interest in the Big 12, the AZ President and CO AD have both spoken out in the last 2 weeks and essentially said the same thing. They are going to do what's in their school's best interest and that means they won't rule out changing conferences.

So, is that AZ's position then? PAC must be third for them to stay? Cause if so, let's get that paperwork started.

Last month he said that if the tv deal
Isn’t at least 50/50 streaming/cable then they are out.

Yormark is playing this perfectly. Utah and Arizona State are pointing a gun at their heads and playing Russian roulette. Let’s says Colorado and Arizona bolt to the Big 12. If I am the Big 12, I would say, that’s it. Utah and ASU are then at the mercy of Oregon and Washington. If Utah and ASU want to join the Big 12, make them beg.

There might be a date when the Big12 plays tough with ASU and UU, but doubt we are close to that point. Both schools bring plus value (>$32M) to the Big12, so I feel Yormark can be patient and let the schools decide to join Big12 without pressure tactics.

Plus give CU it's moment in the sun and then Arizona.

Sounds like the Big 12/Mexico push for football is a bowl game in Monterrey…I can get behind that much more than giving up regular-season home games.

Can you imagine if Yormark pulled Colorado and Arizona...and then that somehow forced in OR and Wash. then ASU and Utah had nowhere to go.....it will never happen, but that would be nuts.
