Feel like **** is being thrown against the wall at this meeting.
Sometimes I just can't fathom the logic (or lack thereof) of some people on the board. ESPN owns ACC on the cheap. ACC ego teams want more, now! Pac12 in desperation wants to merge with ACC? Which effectively would eliminate the ACC GOR, which opens up litigation from ESPN for them not fulfilling the contract OR even worse yet opens them up to market negotiations for a new media contract. I just can't see enough money coming to the table at this time for that no matter who is involved.
In order for ASU to join the Big 12, every Arizona fan gets one (1) punch to Crow's face.
Washington was complaining about increased travel costs to the B1G. Lol. Travel would be even higher.
This might be a nightmare scenario for those douchebags. They wanted to avoid being called out at the one who killed the conference, but if Oregon and UDub go, it's unofficially dead and everyone with an option runs for the exits.
So it sounds like they got their numbers last night from B1G, told the B1G they weren't going to take the deal, told ole GK to fire up another meeting baby, let's sign that piece of **** deal, which then made the B1G come back with another offer?
If I'm Arizona and hear that Oregon and Washington are back in B1G talks not even 12 hours later, I'm leaving yesterday.
Yeah, but only 3 of those 10 you listed would be from the PAC. It could possibly mean more money, but why pay the other 6 PAC schools more than what you'd have to pay them to stay the PAC? Plus, to pay more, you are changing the contract, changing the contract would open the GOR, open the GOR and FSU, Clemson and at least one other are gone immediately.
absolutely this, and i feel like most of its coming from asu and uu, at this point why even save them, what do they add?
Rollercoaster!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There needs to be a 30 for 30 with the interworking of these deals.

Yea, conferences have played with an odd number teams for extended periods. Going with an 8 or 10 game conference schedule is the most traditional approach. But there are ways to get creative.
The Big12 will be fine at 13 teams and still allows looking at basketball only adds.
People dis on UConn because they have a bad football program. For as bad as their football program is, their mens and WOMENS hoops teams are just as elite. Their basketball teams might be worth $10-15M.
No different than Jayhawks. They aren't earning their $32M based on their football, but their MBB.
All I know is the PAC messed up not putting all of this on tv the last month. They could have paid for their own deal at this point. Seriously, just look at the fever pitch in here the last hour alone. This all made into some sort of tv product would have garnered some eyeballs.
I'm behind and might end up eating crow on this but I still think Arizona comes aboard. This is last second desperation by the PAC
