I will hate them until I get to go enjoy a weekend trip to Denver/Boulder and see JJ Kohl throw for 300 and 4 TD's.Come on back Colorado. No hard feelings from before.
Thinking about this, maybe the PAC blowing up helps UO and UW. If 4 schools left, if the BIG 10 had any interest, they could get them to jump for a PAC level share for 5 years out of concern that they could go ACC, SEC area. They go ACC and that solidifies that conference some and possibly keeps ND, NC and VA in it.Unless pushing this drives some of the 4 corners schools to jump and a B1G invite doesn't come. Then you are stuck in an even more depleted PAC.

Not if all the schools agree to it. What if the schools are told we can add them and get a couple million per school or just go status quo?As soon as the ACC adds schools, their current GOR is void.

Because there are multiple schools already pissed at the status quo and ESPN has no desire to renegotiate an amazing deal when they are actively trying to cut costs.Not if all the schools agree to it.

Check out the Locked On: PAC-12 podcast today. Has the Locked On: Big 12 guy with him. Funny stuff.
Have you seen the document? Could there be a clause that additions could be made without any breakage of it? Is the GORs one for each school to the conference? I think this is how teams get hooked. If it’s an individual contract for a school to the conference, then adding or subtracting doesn’t touch the contract if no financial damage is done to that school.I highly doubt Florida State is going to sign a new GOR if SEC options are available and they can get out of their current GOR without penalty.
"Oh sure, lets add this team we will sign that document."
- GOR is broke.
"Welp, this was a fluid situation and we changed our mind."
If it’s binding, do the pissed off schools just say, we don’t want another couple million per school even though we are stuck? May look at it as let’s make the worst situation better and keep fighting for more. ESPN may believe that by getting those two schools, they can pay their value without having the other dead weight schools hanging with them.Because there are multiple schools already pissed at the status quo and ESPN has no desire to renegotiate an amazing deal when they are actively trying to cut costs.
