  1. Yeah all this, unless the Pac is at 8 or 9, then money be damned.
  2. Ha no, i meant he didn't end with FSU/Clemson. I just didn't feel like sorting through his shit, that one was on top.
  3. It's worse than $12m. In 2021-2022, a year prior, WSU made less than every other Big 12 school at $85 million (KSU is 10th with $100m). But of that $85 million, $1.3m came from student fees, which is kind of standard as sometimes those also count as tickets, etc. However a whopping $14m of it came from school funds. Only $19.5M of the $85m came from ticket sales and contributions. Their rights and licensing was the largest category at $42m, and that includes the Pac 12 payout. WSU can barely keep the lights on while in the Pac 12 before USC/UCLA left and have been running $10m+ deficits for several years. No wonder they're dropping "everything is awesome!" quotes to the media every time they ask.
  4. I'd actually be completely shocked if they ended up in different conferences. Both tidewater grandfathers kind of orbit each other.
  5. This was actually the main reason the B12 went to market early after Texas and OU left. It provided certainty in budgeting, for the remaining schools they remained on the same trendline they forecasted so, while they didn't get any major gain, they were still in their growth window on the current deal so they signed up..
  6. And, according to Scheer from AZ, the West Coast media dudes get most of their quotes from WSU, OSU, and Pac offices.
  7. The latest we're hearing on Colorado, the Big 12 and all things realignment
  8. They only have 45 conference games, 3 games a week for 13-15 weeks is 39-45 games. 60% linear is 27 games, which is 2/week.
  9. Third largest city in the state is Husker Stadium on game day
  10. Zero chance of this happening - that would be 86% of their games on linear. The B12 could do that because they had no conference network - FS1 was basically that. The Pac needs to feed the PACN beast, even if the beast isn't on TV anywhere.
  11. Very, very basically, it is kind of two fold: 1 - since the last contract, teams not named Texas and Oklahoma have increased fan engagement by 40% against each other. Parity in competition helps this, but also do large fanbases who care about sports. They're not brands, but they're competitive. 2 - They likely were looking at a $60m contract with Texas and OU. The B12 had never had a moment where it took all of its rights to market at the same time and their T1 deal was horribly undervalued. They were set for a big bump in 2025, not B1G/SEC bump, but much bigger than they just received. So, the continuing of the old terms factors the loss of Texas/OU plus the gain of new engagement into the new deal. $32m is the broadcast in year one, which will increase. The rest is post season, March Madness, etc. Also, on the seats comment, this one always throws me off. Most big games, in general, not just the Big 12, are not reliant on traveling fans. In fact, I think the B12 only allocates like 2-3k seats to the opposing team in far flung corners. Anything else is usually season ticket holders unloading to travelers. Unless you're saying they only fill up for big games, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Most are close to capacity for the entire season, not just a few games.
  12. If they had that deal, it would already be signed. Also no idea where they are getting 27 games on linear, especially not with the big 4, unless they're playing Thursday/Friday nights. Late night on ESPN will net them 15 games, but not $300m.
  13. Yeah let's get this bullshit back on track to wanton speculation and unsourced leaks:
  14. Jack Swarbrick to step down as Notre Dame AD, NBC Sports chair Pete Bevacqua tabbed as replacement The year before the contract is up. Replaced with an NBC exec. Irish to the Big Ten here we come! If they don't call it either the Taco or Burrito Bowl what are we even doing here?
  15. Not sure about the basketball, but a bowl game in Mexico has some intrigue.
  16. Seems it all occurred the moment Colorado's Board posted a public meeting.
  17. My guess is still responsible and will be taken out of future earnings with a buy out. They were there when it occurred so its on their watch.
