Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

The worst part in all of this are Canzano and Wilner feeling like they're winning.

 

[KnappShack]

Honeslty, GK's best play is probably to shed a couple teams, and backfill with G5s willing to come in at half shares. The rest of the money can then be distributed to the current members and could perhaps get them close enough to $30 mil to not care.

That may be his plan. I don't buy that Colorado leaving caught him off guard.

Dear member schools

I have sinned.

People often overthink things. The first rule of PR is to control the narrative and that would have been the most critical thing to do if the PAC had anything resembling a consensus. To not even leak something vague AF like “most parties agreed in principle to a path towards a framework” means there is a LOT of work still to be done, if even possible.

While of course most of the PAC would like to stay together – Regents and Presidents are risk averse – they also have bottom lines. They know what they need to stay and they simply weren’t presented with enough this AM to at least approve of a press release. That means the PAC has no narrative, thus what you’re seeing play out.

There doesn’t have to be a deal ready to sign or all schools having approved through their Presidents and Regents to try and control the narrative if there was one.

Well said. Writers are also appealing to their audience. If vague information from their source is presented to a writer, the writer will tend to spin it to fit what their audience wants to hear.

They scheduled the impromptu public meeting for today, right after the executive meeting.

Whar info with regards to public session?

I stopped reading at "sportskeeda.com"

They sure were right about Colorado. And I saw the $19.7 million figure in other tweets. And that is the figure Scheer was throwing out. You can bet Wilher and Canzano aren’t really putting the atrocious news of the pitiful payment out there.

 

[Cmonwhatarewedoinghereman]

Scheer is a fan boy for AZ I know but he is probably well-connected to their athletic dept. No way they let him trash the pac9 so much if they really want to stay. Just greasing the skids so the fan base is ok with the move.

If ORWA and Washington weren't worth $45-$50M or more, they wouldn't be in the Big10 discussion.

ASU and UU are definitely worth $32M+. If CU &UA weren't close to $32M, we wouldn't be looking to add.

What some people are missing is the Big12, ACC and Pac12 revenues are very close today. With OuT in Big12 and USCLA in Pac12.

What the networks are saying LOUDLY is they no longer value the Pac12 because it is a 1 region conference. The Pac12 schools will have more value as part of Big12.

How can all of these be worth 32+ but the result is less than 20. Oregon State, Arizona, California and Colorado were the lowest tv ratings teams in the conference. That’s why Arizona and Colorado want to jump on a B12 offer.

So is this Arizona bor meeting going to be Livestreamed or nah?
I don't expect anything to happen...but who knows

Id bet money when they officially vote, GK used mail in ballots

 

[KnappShack]

OSU and WSU way way excited I'd guess

 

[FerShizzle]

$19.7 million Pac-12 media deal on the table for George Kliavkoff? How much is it worth compared to Notre Dame's $60 million proposal?

Details of the new Pac-12 media deal are gradually emerging at long last. According to sources familiar with the situation, an agreement with a streaming platform will pay each school $19.

$19.7 million per team. Streaming. If get enough subscribers you make Pennies more per subscriber. So $19.7 million per team.

19.7 !?!?!?!?

LOL

They’re worth that in the big 12 right? It’s because combined as the PAC 12 they have too much inventory. Picked off into the big 12 they’re fine.

Colorado is literally getting 32.

Here's the deal. This was going to be slow-played by Arizona after this meeting regardless. Just how these things go.

However, if by some grace of God they stick around for the rumored deal/numbers that was presented then I don't want a school that idiotic in the Big 12. There is zero logical reason any of the remaining four corners should be sticking around if what is being reported is true.

Again, even if you sign this deal, you are just delaying the inevitable of Oregon and Washington likely leaving at some point. And if you, Arizona, leaves, then that deal likely gets ripped up because that's another team gone.

 

[DFWClone]

I just have a feeling that Iowa state is going to somehow get the short end of the stick in all of this, as usual.
