    IIRC, most people in this thread (myself included) felt like CU and UA were going to end up in the B12 after the B12 got their media deal done at a solid number with good exposure, while Klownkoff was still asking for $50m per school/year and Clownzano/Wilner were talking about streaming.

    My mistake was thinking UW and UO would end up in an 18 team B12 with ASU and Utah once the PAC  collapsed.  Glad I didn't bet on it!

    Once again, props to you and McMurphy for nailing it!!!

    PS- Can't wait for the Wilner/Clownzano podcast that has the WACPAC postmortem- their last pod was comedy gold!

    Wilner thought that none of this was going to happen, and as the story evolved, his commentary sounded more and more like Denial.

    He also sounded annoyed that this upset his PAC-world or interrupted his vacation, or all of the above.

    Listening to that Entitled Fuckstick eat crow on the post-mortem will be gold!  Can't wait!   Lulz.

    Help me out here.  Why is Arizona a bigger get than Arizona State?  Zona State is in a bigger market (Phoenix) and a larger school (65K students to 36K).  They're both the same in football with Arizona being better in basketball if that matters.

    Thanks.  I'll hang up and listen.  

    I never thought much of the brown city (look at the streets and brownish dust everywhere) known as Tucson, where UA is. It's been a high-crime city for a long time, too.

    Phoenix is overwhelmingly larger, and has some nice areas, including the Tempe (where ASU is) and Scottsdale areas, to name a couple.

    Houston has tons of Big XII alums and is driving distance for the original Big XII schools. They'll sell out regularly with half or more visiting fans. That's my prediction. 

    That cougar high has never drawn SHIT unless Texas was playing them.

    Houston stadium is 40k and Cincinnati's stadium is 38k.

    Wow, ASU has slowly reduced their stadium to 53,599 now from 74,865 in 1989.

    I remember when Sun Devil Stadium, as it was called then, was in the 3-year-ish-field rotation for Super Bowls.

    The crying from PAC 12 fans now coming out of the woodwork is glorious...  terrible home fan attendance for games at ucla, stanford, and cal showed what a shitty CFB market existed in that conference.

    The PAC 12 fans are getting what they deserve... that conference has sucked for years in fan support for CFB.

    Tiger Woods is a billionaire Stanford alum that's been at Stanford football games over the years.  

    Even he's gonna let Stanford football continue to die.....

    Yeah, I'm fired up about CFB in 2024 with more quality conference games...  🤘

    No more hangers-on with their gravy-train sucking-blood off of Texas as those new stadiums that tcu/Rapelor built gather cobwebs as they will never will be full again.

    My cousin, a Canadian national who got his undegrad up there, but is a huge Cyclone fan, has spent countless game weekends in Ames and even attended classes with me while visiting, has joked that he’s a figurative/honorary alum

    That's called a "T-shirt fan."

    I know a man like that! 

    Despite being an Iowa State alum, he married a doppelgänger of the young (not OLD space-alien!) Shirley MacLaine that was an Iowa alum, so he only goes to Iowa home games with his wife.

    Well in 1914, Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Baylor and Oklahoma St. met in a meeting to create the SWC and LSU thought about coming (Rice joined before the first season).  Sub Texas Tech for Arkansas and you have the 1996 Big 12 South.  Now in 2024 Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma and Arkansas will be back together in the SEC along with LSU.

    its all happened before.  it will all happen again..

    "Oklahoma A&M" didn't change its name to Oklahoma State until 1957, so they were known as "Oklahoma A&M" in 1914.

    Whatever guy is on the morning drive at 7:00. Some woman is his partner. I don't listen enough to know, and they recently canned the previous crew.  Also said aggy left in part due to the LHN. Obviously had an axe to grind as he said he's a Missouri guy and his school had a seat at the big boy table in the Big 8, but Texas (and apparently only Texas) turned them into a junior member of the Big 12, but now they are an equal with the other members of the SEC.

    Just the same bullshit narrative the Texas alone destroys everything. 

    Probably this Idiot, Ian Fitzsimmons.

    That is indeed what the TV contracts say. BUT if your the two network stake holders and you were asked. Would you rather the Big12's 16th team be SDSU or Utah. ESPN/Fox just might prefer SDSU, thinking there is more population in the San Diego area than in all of Utah. Not to mention BYU delivers a pretty big hunk of Utah. (I know exit fee and all that)

    You can't count the people in Moron Valley in the San Diego metro area because the nickname checks out.  Lulz.

    Seriously?  He was content with the Apple deal?

    Holy shit...this guy is in charge of a P5 university with that mindset?  How is this even possible?

    I've known a few people that went there and taught there at ASU, and I've even visited the campus.

    What I most remember is the ASU mantra repeated of tuition being "as affordable as possible" in both news articles about tuition, but it's even on some of their websites.

    I wonder if the money isn't their main concern, neither...... until someone important (boosters/others/etc.) explains it to them.
