Really they ought to just make ESPN Classic accessible again and put the all around classics on.
I would guess they would be better able to manipulate the weekly matchups and timeslots to get the best games in the best slots, raising viewership and thus ad revenue? If you are picking best 2 from 9 games, that's probably easier than best 1 of 6 and best 1 of 5. Esp after dumping the 4 worst draws as well.
Stew will have your nutsack for speaking such blasphemy.
He could use one, his appears to be in the pac12’s purse
Good point, it's really amazing the damage they are doing. Or I guess if it makes them the bad guy, maybe it's valuable. Odd group of favs though.
Imagine how salty the Ute fans would be if the Big Xii added 3 Pac Schools AND Utah State (instead of the Utes).
They're gonna get a ton of heat if they end up in the big 12. It would be fun.
Big 12 should offer Utah with stipulation that they must change their racist themed team moniker.
Big breaking news coming from Stewart Mandel tomorrow:
“The PAC-12 is set to announce a 100 million per school television deal, along with the addition of tOSU, Alabama, the 1985 Chicago Bears, and Real Madrid to the conference starting in 2025”

Utah uses the Ute name through an agreement with the Ute tribe.
As reported when the news broke: "USC/UCLA athletic department sources tell me the travel strain on non-revenue sports was discussed before making the decision to leave Pac-12 for Big Ten. Said one: "We got assurances from Big Ten that it would work with us on some creative thinking scheduling-wise."".
Tricky Warren pitched his creative scheduling for USC's woman's volleyball as an example, and that sealed the deal with USC:
UCLA (home)
Michigan (away)
UCLA (away)
Wisconsin (home)
UCLA (home)
Indiana (away)
UCLA (home)
Nebraska (home)
UCLA (away)
Maryland (away)

To me it's mind boggling OTA still has that much pull. By now I would've thought the ability to better 'target' advertising on a streaming platform would've overtaken 'umbrella' OTA advertising. Oh, you can bet the farm that will eventually happen, but apparently not yet.
