Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

#3) NIL deals were not under the Settlement cap, only RevShare. Not sure where you came up with that. Existing and future true NIL deals will still have to go thru the Clearinghouse. The issue now is whether MMR deals without a valid business purpose will be applied to the RevShare cap and whether the RevShare Cap will be increased as a result.

Yes, the in-house revenue sharing cap as a result of the House settlement.

A couple times you've posted that ISU would have equal media revenue if pooling occurs. That isn't going to be a result of pooling. Big brands will create an ecosystem where they continue to get more media revenue. Whether it's tied to appearances on OTA where viewership is higher, etc.

In regards to pooling, yes, I have alleged equal. In reality, there will be some differences. Hoping the Big 12 media revenue gap will be closer for pooling than the chasm it is at right now between the Big 12 and Big 10/SEC. I may have my numbers off, but it is about $40-$50 million gap and keeps enlarging. Hoping it is more like $10 million for a mid-tier Big 10/SEC school.

He just can't seem to realize that the Big Ten and SEC, right or wrong, are the biggest swinging dicks in the room and were guaranteed to get everything they wanted the minute the government got involved.

Just imagine being that deluded. Forrest thru the trees and what not.

#1) B10 and SEC aren't getting their way with the revised anti-expansion language since ESPN/Fox cannot further consolidate top brands (e.g. Miami FL) into those two conferences. Any moves like that "may only be made within a certain framework of parameters yet to be formalized". Will depend what those parameters are and one would assume they would prevent relegation of existing ACC and B12 schools like ISU.

#2) B10 and SEC aren't going to add an existing G6 school just to hose up the 75% pooling mechanism. And if they somehow can add existing B12 and ACC schools, that % will likely be modified.

#3) NIL deals were not under the Settlement cap, only RevShare. Not sure where you came up with that. Existing and future true NIL deals will still have to go thru the Clearinghouse. The issue now is whether MMR deals without a valid business purpose will be applied to the RevShare cap and whether the RevShare Cap will be increased as a result.

They will get their way because they'll get expansion done before. Then the B12 and ACC are ****** because they can't merge or raid each other. Tripling the gap. Don't say they'll revert back to old conference alignments because that wont happen.

So you really think that if/when the PCSA gets finalized for voting with anti-expansion and other provisions that are reportedly in the process of being agreed to by the SEC and B10 that they are going to then try and beat the clock with additional expansion and brand consolidation?

Regardless if PCSA gets passed or not, they will get their asses sued for anti-trust along the immense financial (early ACC exit fees, etc.) and political consequences of doing so.

What grounds will they be sued on? You can't sue based on feelings.

That would be pure gold if after all this the P2 just get exactly what they wanted the whole time. Separate media dollars, freedom to expand (don’t want it and hope they don’t) and then get guard rails on some things like transfers.

Honestly would be impressive plus our favorite Billionaire Bootlicker would be apoplectic which would just put a smile on my face

Go eff yourself, Sparty.

This isn't about Campbell, this is what's best for ISU and obviously you, Purple Hawk and the Hawks dip$hits here don't give a flip about what's best for ISU.

You can't read, I clearly mentioned "anti-trust".

This guy is winning the argument

Businesses have the right to expand and those two conferences certainly don't have a monopoly on college football

 

[cykadelic2]

Why do you think so little of Iowa State? Still waiting on an answer on that one.

Have answered this question multiple times and your impaired brain can't comprehend the consequences.

ESPN and Fox don' think highly of ISU and if they get their way, they aren't going to include ISU and 25-30 other ACC/B12 schools in the SEC and B10 and the payout gap between those two conferences and the B12/ACC is going to significantly widen and financially/competitively relegate ISU and the ACC/B12 leftovers. If they are allowed to do so, there is no reason for ESPN and Fox to expand the SEC and B10 beyond 20 each and ISU isn't one of the 6 to be poached.

Got it?

There is a reason why there are anti-trust lawyers always present in B10/SEC joint meetings. If PCSA doesn't get passed, ESPN and Fox will expand the SEC and B10 for their sole benefit and 80%-90% of CFB media revenues will flow to those two conferences and ISU's media payouts will likely be cut by 50% or more.

I get it you're a Purple Hawk who doesn't care about ISU and hoping this pans out.
