Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

[CascadeClone]

Idk how i feel abt Stanford.

One hand, they are an incredible world leading university, with a hugely successful athletics dept. Great to build connections there. I dont think Stanford is nearly as exclusionary (like the old Ivies) based on family or class based on their genesis. And witness someones comment abt how they hold ISU engr and comp sci in high regard - thats not the mark of a "too good for you" school.

Otoh, they dgaf about football and dont really love sports like most schools, because they are too cool, rich and powerful. That successful AD is mostly about rich kid nonrev sports. Wont bring much tv interest except when they host ND. And they may always covet B1G.

Tldr; i dont know how i feel about it.

I assume the schools are still on the hook for their portion of the Comcast debt?

The Comcast contract expires in the summer of 2024, so Comcast is withholding payments to the Pac12 to recoup the $50 mil.

The Sprint Center is. But KC is also in Kansas. So fan money spent supports both KS & MO.

There are two Kansas Citys. If you spend money in KCMO, KCK doesn't see a dime of it. Two separate city governments entirely in two separate states.

What an idiot

Very few visitors to downtown KC end up in KS ever.

What an idiot

“23rd Century technology, available anywhere in the world at the touch of a button.” And he goes on and on. This is how he views streaming services. Out of touch? Um, just a little. He sounds like most members of Congress talking about tech. You have to literally try to be that uninformed about tech.

What an idiot

Lining his own pocket is what he was trying to say if he could make this bs happen. Otherwise, wtf is he talking about. Holy ****, get that ****** out of his job.

 

[alarson]

What an idiot

Guy is ******* amazed by the concept of streaming.

 

[Dr.bannedman]

What an idiot

this guy sounds like a dumbass

 

[7Got6]

Standford and ND

Stanford’s only chance is to have ND come with them.

 

[AlaCyclone]

Sparky needs to work on his aim.

 

[Cycotick]

Hi, so who's next in the picking order?

 

[Kinch]

Here's the crazy thing: The Big 10 struck a billion dollar media deal. One quarter of that will go to the football head coaches. Granted a portion of it is allocated for buyouts that may never happen, but still...

 

[ItsCyence]

What an idiot

Obviously wanted to stay in the Pac due to him having a larger voice there. I do think streaming is going to take over but it isn't happening in 2024.

It’s mHver so take it as you like. I would like to add Stanford and it makes sense to add a brand cali school so I’m posting it.



No need to reply mHver knows nothing. I’m aware.

Crow probably used Yormark as a reference. Calling to check if Crow really was that willing to let ASU die.

Vegas would be fun. And maybe it made sense for Pac12 as a money grab/central location.

But in looking at realignment map, I don't believe the Big12 added a school in Nevada. I'd prefer the Big12 financially support Big12 states.

KC's been a great site. But as the conference evolves, I would have no problem alternating sites between KC and (Denver or SLC)

Same in football- rotate between Dallas & Phoenix.

If we are going to celebrate a conference of equals (No Texas), the new 8 have an equal voice. So some compromises might need to be made.

But if those new sites don't support the Championships like KC or Dallas, then revert back to a single location.

I support the same belief. All the schools in our conference are those that aren’t good enough for the SEC or Big10. We should try and avoid subjugating the new adds, unless necessary (looking at you ASU and Utah).

For the bball tournament, I wouldn’t mind a schedule of two tournaments in KC and the third somewhere else in the conference. Or a 3/4 in kc with one somewhere else. I think similar to the Big12, the other conference members will eventually see the attendance and show KC puts on for basketball and see the value. This happened several years ago when Texas and Oklahoma eventually conceded having the bball tournament in the southern states, but at the cost of the football championship staying in the south.

Football is a little harder due to smaller amount of football stadiums. But Texas, KC, Arizona, Florida have options that hold Big13 teams. Then add in Las Vegas as a fun option, because it’s Vegas.

Yeah but having lived on both sides KCK is weak

Plus Vegas is very fun!

They have to spend the money somewhere. These are non-profits. It gets difficult to build huge cash balances and keep non-profit status. Crazy, I know.
