Now Wisconsin and Iowa get that honorary.

I'm skeptical

Its actually probably market and will depend on what they do with PacN. If they package it together and bundle it off, like BTN/SECN, it will increase because they'll be on more TVs and if they shutter the PacN and go the ACCN/B12 version on ESPN, it will increase because they'll use less inventory for it, meaning they'll have more to sell on their next contract (e.g. take 108 games to market over 96, etc). Their current media deal averaged about $22m over the span, so a 40% boost would net $31m average. While I'd say that puts them back in the game, the B1G and Big12 will be getting at least that too. The thing is, I'm not sure that's enough to dig the Pac out

This. Tennessee is in a bad spot where the fans are expecting 12 win seasons. To get those 12, unlike UCF, they need to go through Georgia, and Bama, and Florida, who are all set up pretty well talentwise. The best chance Huepel has is the SEC goes down to 6 conference games. Oh, and this: 2018 UCF 12–1 2019 UCF 10–3 2020 UCF 6–4

It isn't necessary, but definitely feasible since you could sell more rights. Non-cons, outside made for TV, are worth half of nothing. Conference games make all the money. But if you knew you could schedule 10 Big12/Pac12 games a year on top of 198 conference games it wouldn't be worth less.

Still got my marker that they combine their media rights, but stay separate conferences

They had to make this move, he was clearly the worst commissioner in the Power Five, and it isn't even close, and possibly the entire FBS. Additionally, they start negotiations in a year for their next decade of media contracts. They need to right their ship fast.

I've found, literally, nothing to back that. Nearly every report, which comes from the same sources, state that, like you say it was between the owners and the NFL, the conversation was clearly about the anthem. Per earlier request, got a link to your take?

I think it would be very hard to salvage it at this point

Yeah and I think if you add to this the mistake most make when they win is claiming to have a mandate. You don't, you barely won. The populous is telling you its currently being managed wrong, not that everything you think is right. Yet as the pendulum keeps swinging, whoever it swung to thinks it means what it doesn't and both sides get more and more frustrated.

Sometimes the internet fails us. This was not one of those times.

I don't know, I mean more with Congress grappling with how it all played out internally and not just who may have inflamed people, which they'll likely ignore, and more who actively assisted insurrectionists, which I doubt they will ignore.

I haven't a feeling that's not going to play well

Come for the civil conversation, stay for the tits and guns.

Pretty sure she'll position herself as the great white hope. The Burr to her dad's Hamilton.

Little clarification here, most of this requires two steps, impeachment and conviction. He won't lose any of that if you impeach him, just like he didn't already lose it for being impeached. If the Senate convicts him, however, he will, at least partially. He won't get his pension at least. On the travel allowance, I don't think that's a thing. They do get SS protection for life, which is an expense, but I'm not sure he actually would lose this if convicted. This falls under the Former Presidents Act. It would be interesting to see the government argue the case on if he's "former" if convicted or if it is kind of like annulling a marriage, but it isn't guaranteed. Also, I do not believe conviction keeps him from running again, at any level. As someone mentioned earlier, my apologies for not wanting to sift through the find the post, Congress would need to draft something up specifically to keep him out of office. At first I thought this may be triggered if he is convicted of a felony, of which he'll have plenty of opportunities to defend against once he leaves office, but I don't think that would automatically trigger the inability to run again either.

Love this idea. I'd love it more if they played Spring Football

bwahahaha you have got to be kidding me.

Off topic, but I read that as "big xii titties"
