Revenue projections

Worthless considering that at this point it looks like Big10 getting top 3 brands from PAC. Big getting more and PAC getting much less even if they replace the 3 schools there are no schools available that come close to USC, UCLA and Oregon.

I hate Auerbach, but her tweet is about the SEC and Big 10 projections, not the other 3.

Auerbach left my good graces when she was appalled at us getting better NY6 committee rankings than her favorite G5 schools (I think it was Cincinnati that year), and then we won the Fiesta Bowl.

But let’s be honest with ourselves, no matter what happens there’s gonna be an enormous $$$ gap between the B1G/SEC and everybody else. Our job now is to try to secure our position as a future #3 league if we can’t get into those first two.

Methinks that PAC-12 line needs revisited.

She’s a shrill with an angle, not actual media.

Honestly, he’s not even mentioning the main pac 13 leftovers. THEY ARE NOT AN OPTION FOR THE BIG 12.

Colorado, the lessor Arizona school, Utah, Washington state and Oregon State are the options.
Would you like some cheese?

Not exactly sure.
I do think OuT and USC/UCLA stuff we’re supposed to go down at the same time. Probably to bury the two conferences and make them worthless. Good old mason jars couldn’t contain themselves and blew it all up. B12 was the benefactor most likely from this.

If it goes down at the same time, you would have 18 leftovers that you would throw together and be down to 64 teams. Get WV and another to go ACC and you have 4 groups of 16. What the media wanted.

As stated earlier by @2speedy1, this is directly tied to conference affiliation. USC moving to the Big 10 bumps them up to a top 10-ish value. Iowa moving to the Pac 12 would drop them to a late 20-ish value.
My main point is Iowa by every measure is ahead of approximately half of the B10 teams. Rutgers, Maryland, Purdue and Indiana would most certainly be the first ones cut out. If they are going to move to one super conference of say 24 teams, I’d then be worried. I don’t think they’d ever pare it down that far because Goliath still needs plenty of David’s.

What about 32 teams? Iowa would be borderline if they went to two conferences to be above or below.

Some interesting (maybe BS) stuff from a guy who appears to be plugged in with the B1G. The whole thread here is interesting.



This would suggest that those are the four top TV brands remaining in the Pac-12. If Notre Dame goes B1G, the idea is apparently that Oregon will go with them; if not, there is a chance that Oregon and Washington both get in.

But as relevant to the B12, both of those schools plus Utah and ASU would be good additions to the Big 12 from FOX’s perspective.

Jon Wilner had some skepticism earlier that might have been more about Arizona and Colorado. If the B1G takes Oregon and ND, we should obviously take Washington, Utah, and ASU, but I think it would be an interesting question whether we take 1 or 3 of Arizona, Colorado, Cal, and Stanford after that. Personally I think it would be 3, we’d go to 18, and one of the Bay Area schools would be left out. But it would be funny to exclude Colorado.

I really think you would have to think hard about Colorado. They really add nothing, there are no positives to adding them.
