Realignment talk not going away

I’m asking because it has been proposed that ESPN/ABC is overpaying the B12 thru 2031 to facilitate Texas and OU leaving to the SEC. Evidence to support that would be if Fox were not paying more than before. I can’t understand why every report of the B12 contract states the combined amount the two different companies pay, when obviously they are two separate contracts. 

They're not overpaying to facilitate the move.    The move was facilitated by Fox getting Michigan/Texas.   Most reports are that after the Pac decided to go to market, the B12 accepted a discount to lock in more slots and marketing.

I mean, this is what our stadium looked like at the end of the Big 8 and for a few more years into the Big 12. We had piss troughs that were spray painted before each season to cover up the stains. Pat Jones has said that on campus visits included the entire campus, except the stadium. 

Whoever designed the wall that close to the field when the stadium was that size needs to be shot by Pistol Pete in the parking lot.

It does, all the season ticket holders got it for free too, but, like yours, someone paid for it - even if it was bought in bulk on a discount.

Ourand is reporting that at least close to half of them are free.

He's gonna be at CU for less than 5 years, and they probably won't be in the Big 12 until '25 anyhow.

The Pac is officially dead. SDSU not leaving the MWC should have been a good sign this was coming. The Big 12 adding Colorado, Utah, and the two Arizonas to get to 16 seems like the most logical at this point

Where they gonna go? They don't bring enough money for the B1G or SEC IMO (and I'm a Buffs fan - did my MS there).

Prime will not be at CU long.

Assuming CU announces they’re joining the Big 12 this week, I assume they have 2 more seasons in Pac

So much movement for such a suck-shit team and a conference that won't be a major force in football in 15 years.

Cal? If they'd be willing to slum it below their perceived opinions of themselves, they'd be a solid get for the Big 12. Wazzu and Oregon State add next to nothing.

Think OR and WA are waiting for the Big 10. Surprise school might be Stanford wanting to join the #1 hoops conference?

Have a hard time believing that Oregon State is going to get an invite. They offer little. 

[The Dog 43771]

I'd bet on the AZ schools.

[billfromlaketravis 11352]

Would the Big 12 take UConn in hoops only? 
 

Colorado and UConn is just a turd sandwich.

Colorado and Arizona would be much more appealing.

Ignore me. I was reading too fast and thought you were saying CU wouldn't be in the Big XII until '35.

[Josef Pwag 1721]

Does this cause the B1G to make a move for some Pac-12 schools? If there is a panic exit situation, does the B1G offer Oregon & Washington rather than letting them sign a  contract with the Big 12? Maybe grab Stanford as well, and tell ND joining with us is your only chance to play teams like Stanford & USC going forward?

Maybe the other team is Oregon? I could see BIG telling them it’s not happening and they prefer UW and Stanford. Cal too if ND joins.

There's something really shitty with a bottom feeder like Colorado, who has jumped from 2 conferences in under 15 years, having a landing spot and Oregon and Washington being left in a dying conference.

Oregon is definitely a take for the Big 10. Oregon, Washington, Utah, and ND would all fit their AAU standards.

CU was consistently the #3 TV draw in the old Big 8. Mizzou was consistently the #4 TV draw in the old Big 8. Do the PAC and SEC have warm feelings when they tuck in at night, secure that they nabbed the Buffs and Tigers? I don’t know that being the #3 in the B12 is such a big deal, with TAMU, NU, CU and Mizzou gone  

 

 
 

Like the old Bill Hicks bit about the Gulf War and how everyone was worried about Iraq having the world's 4th largest army.
