  1. Apparently it was the Utah president who came up with the 50 MM per school/yr valuation for the remaining Pac 12 schools, and requested that Kliavkoff counteroffer ESPN at that amount.
  2. I believe the ratings report for last week's games showed that SMU's game drew something like 12K viewers as well.
  3. It probably doesn't mean much, but the Clemson quarterly BOR meeting is October 5th & 6th.
  4. I posted the local article about Clemson up thread. The only other thing I have heard was about two weeks ago when Larry Williams of Tigers Illustrated said that he expected an announcement about Clemson leaving the ACC to happen "in October". With "In October" being pretty vague and the timeline being from a message board moderator, I decided not to post about it. However, it is something else that I have heard.
  5. Your fealty is undoubtedly unmatched, as is your Surly acumen. May your neg be a permanent and unarguable testament to my inferiority in both, as well as my ignorance of early 2000's Big 12 internal politics. I hang my head in shame and shall bear the mark for all time.
  6. I don't really want to beat this dead horse in here. Four charter schools left the Big 12 at about the same time, and anyone with half a brain can understand it was not because they loved the business strategy and negotiating environment inside the conference.
  7. Is it really fascinating? Let's remember who it was that wanted to launch into this discussion with a critique of writing styles, which has nothing at all to do with the topic at hand.
  8. I sincerely don't give a shit about your personal approval of my vocabulary choice. It has nothing to do at all with the circumstances surrounding realignment, which I have not been wrong about. Can you deal with that? Probably not.
  9. Who cares?... You want to have a dick measuring contest with Oklahoma State? Be my guest, Brah. As far as the mean old Texas shit, I mean it is what it is. Texas has wanted to get paid instead of being a good business partner since the beginning of the Big 12. Are we going to try and pretend it was anything else? Why would we try and delude ourselves? Nebraska wanted to get paid, Missouri wanted to get paid, Colorado wanted to get paid, A&M wanted to get paid, USC wanted to get paid, UCLA wanted to get paid.... Texas wanted to get paid, and it is what it is.
  10. A lot of cap in here about the Big 12 and future viewership, and it comes off as misplaced pettiness by Texas fans. As a Texas fan myself, I don't get it. Anyway.... Clemson rumblings. https://www.postandcourier.com/sports/carolina/sapakoff-clemsons-acc-departure-may-be-sooner-as-gamecocks-fret/article_844ab88a-5b9d-11ee-bf7f-13daaf7cde8d.html
  11. ESPN isn't paying all that money for media rights to just put every Big 12 game on ESPN +. That just isn't happening. As far as talking shit because you are leaving for a different conferece... that seems like some dumb aggy shit to me. We only won the motherfucker like three times, so it can't be that terrible of a conference.
  12. This probably has way more to do with comparing viewership of broadcasts on FOX, ABC, and ESPN with broadcasts on FS1. I don't really understand the attempted flex here.
  13. WWE Smackdown is moving to NBC/USA starting next year.
  14. I don't understand the point of this thread. The SEC has stunk it up pretty bad so far, maybe even worse than the Big 12.
