Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

ND hasn't been a prime time thing for NBC. Only 2 of their 7 home games last year were prime time starts, everything else was 2:30/3:30.
Well that's almost a third of their broadcasts, and now it would be zero. And if you're NBC and Notre Dame wants to quintuple its rights fees, don't you think about moving more of those games to prime time to get a bigger ROI? Not an option if this comes to pass.
Not really. ND v. USC can still be a B1G prime time Saturday night game moving ahead. As can MSU, Michigan, Purdue, etc.
14 vs 16 still not much different 300M still only 21M per, for SEC I think its more than that. But maybe that is just for 1 tier.
Marchand NYPost sports media writer tweeting his thoughts on the Big 10 media rights are interesting.
It can certainly work for NBC. I think the bigger point is that it would inhibit how big of a pay day ND gets from NBC, since NBC is presumably shelling out a ton of cash for a prime time big 10 game.
And if Notre Dane doesn’t get as much as they were hoping for, it could finally compel them to join a conference. Warren may be playing the long game here.
Williams didnt say anything about SDSU, Wilner did. Wilner is a moron, just look at his tweets and articles from the last month.
Compare SDSU and everyone else in the Big 12, PAC 10, and G5, and who we added last year. They are behind them all!
Wilner overvalues the west coast. Listen to the guy for a minute.
Look at any of the data, any of the data I have posted on them. And hell I have not been even remotely the person close to being the most AntiSDSU. I just said there are better adds than them. They are clearly behind many, as much of the data proves it, they are a project to hope to be valuable, not currently valuable.
I think we'll have to see whether the BIG adds more PAC.
ESPN would maybe overpay a little to keep the BIG to two PAC schools, better owning the late night.
If the BIG adds more PAC, I don't see ESPN going after the fool's errand that would be the remaining PAC. Those leftover PAC schools, particularly if the 4 corners, can be utilized without funding the PAC.
Unless the two-week delay in political posturing on UCAL leaving was more than apathy, Cal must be shitting bricks.
Agree. Big question in all of this is which NBC would value more, a relationship with B1G or ND. If there's anything to these reports we might be getting the answer.
Good number, if that denominator stays at 16.
At least 18, but 20 also very in play imo
Still just guessing, still just speculation, still just going off more speculation. Still ACC ACC ACC ACC!!!!!
Still yet to post any data, any links any actual info to support anything. Get over yourself.
You are officially on ignore.
Why would they add now? Who are they going to add that will increase that number?
Near'z I can tell:
1. San Diego State is Big 12's primary expansion target. Goal: Weaken PAC so Colorado won't accept invitation to Mountain West.
2. Iowa State has pending invite to SEC. Possibly as package deal w/ Washington State.
3. I'm not helping to answer your question, am I?
That almost matches what ESPN initially offered Pac10 for Tier1/2 rights.
