I'm afraid AZ is marginal but your point stands. Killing the Pac doesn't matter if we take the worst. Hell, it could help! Lose OSU and Wazzu and pick up the SD rockstar!

Thank you! Great points I've wanted to post something to the same effect. Additive vs Dilutive
One could argue which schools would be in each category but OSU, CU and UA seem to be in the Dilutive category. WSU viewership numbers I've seen are surprisingly positive, but data can be skewed.
The WSU numbers are an outlier, they are the Leach years.
Difference between selling at an auction vs a garage sale. Right now is auction for Big12. Once B1G takes Stanford and UW, it's garage sale time kids.
I didn't realize that Arizona and TT have a bit of a history. Playing 30+ times in the 30's, 40's, 50's & 70's. The were both in the Border Conference for about 25 years.
Oregon State and Washington State will not be in the Big12.
Only the Big10 would be arrogant enough to go against NFL games on Sunday would work… even if they are late afternoon games I can’t see it working.
Sigh. This post is referring to a blog post which is quoting a source from Feb stating that NBC really wants the big ten. No where does anyone other then a random fan board post mention anything about games on sundays becuase guess what, that will never happen. NBC isn’t even really in the running anymore for a serious portion media deal.
Again, and it’s insane that this has to keep being said but just becuase it’s on the internet doesn’t make it true. If you’re going to post something maybe at least click on the link first to see what it is about.

I guess, so are 2016-current ISU numbers an outlier, they are the Campbell years.
It’s what I’ve been hearing, not sure if they are approaching it differently now but before the Cali schools moved they were out. Fox will have the majority of the games, then BTN/FS1. The other player was Apple after the expansion but haven’t heard much there. NBC certainly could be making a big last min push but it would have to be something real aggressive or something that undercut ND.
Warren said at B1G media days that there would be new media 'partners' announced soon. The articles I read assumed that mean NBC or CBS or possibly both. Also Amazon. I haven't heard of anyone 'ruled out' yet.
NBC would pay a ton for it. Would be amazing on Saturday and it would do fine on Sundays.
$30 million only for the Big 12 with the Pac-12 a shade less than $30 million? Hmmm.Conference realignment: Big Ten interest in additional Pac-12 teams has cooled, Big 12 positioned well

I don't think this is talking about B1G games on Sunday. It's talking about NBC having a prime time B1G game every Saturday night, followed by NBC Sunday Night Football.
NBC Could Make Big Ten 'The NFL Of College Football Conferences'
NBC Sports is pitching a plan to air back-to-back Big Ten and NFL 'Sunday Night Football' games in prime time on Saturday and Sunday nights.
