  1. They couldn't sell it today, they don't have any spare inventory. But their contracts come due around 2024, which is when this deal ends. So you'd carve it out at that time. And yes, incremental, but the Big 12's T1 deal is criminally bad. They were able to renegotiate the T2 deal a few years back and they lined it up with the T1 deal, but that one is still very low. So, assuming the market doesn't just up and collapse in 2024, they're set for a big raise anyway even if they just come to mid market pricing.
  2. They had one game a week, so it was a micro deal, but it was the prime spot. CBS didn't want a lot of games as it was as part of the year they slot in golf and tennis. It got less enticing for CBS over the past decade because they had to give everyone their 15 minutes. So Bama couldn't be on twice if the Vandy's or Mizzos of the world need to get their CBS match up too. That's why they didn't budge on the price. They may not have the depth, but my point was more if CBS only wants 8-10 games, the Big 12 is uniquely set up to carve that out. CBS would just get first choice and everything else would fall to the next network...whatever that may be in 2025. Its also the only network that could fill those games easily and be excited for a $150m contract. The SEC and ACC are out, the Big Ten will want more than $300m, which leaves the Big 12 and Pac 12. That being said, I don't think CBS is willing to pay $15-20m a game for that time slot. ESPN was able to because they didn't buy the slot, they just bought the 15 games. If they wanted, they could put the SEC on ABC at Noon (eastern), 3:30, and 7:30, while playing three other SEC games on ESPN at the same slots. No other network could really pull that off to recoup the money.
  3. Yeah that T1 deal they had was pathetically bad, even if it gave a metric fuck ton of exposure. That CBS slot gets parroted and marketed like crazy. Its actually good for someone that its open. Considering the Big 12's is worse, it would only cost CBS $170m to sign up the Big 12 or Pac.
  4. I don't the patience for that kind of bullshit, let's go!
  5. So...what was the verdict on cast iron cookware?
  6. Hold up, can we circle back to that album of awesomeness again? I think that deserves a little more attention, you know, investigate every angle and all that.
  7. Well I can't stay up late enough for the night crew and I sleep in too late for the day crew. Someone let me know when the hookers and blow crew clocks in and I'll align my schedule accordingly.
  8. As much as I like flight records, can we circle back on this Helga chick again? I'm not sure its been properly vetted. That is all.
  9. They play 10 this year, and all of a sudden their defenses aren't magical. They ranked behind the Big 12 and Big Ten going into last week. What a difference two games makes.
  10. Speaking of sportswriters, a little extra from Denver: It’s been 10 years since CU decided to leave behind the Big 12 in favor of the Pac-12. This series examines what has happened since, as the Pac-12 has struggled to maintain national relevance, the Buffs football program has floundered and the school has watched its former Big 12 peers pass it by in terms of revenue and resources. Part I: Where is CU 10 years later? Part II: How lagging Pac-12 revenue affects CU Part III: Recruiting and the California gold rush Part IV: Culture and rivals in the Pac-12 Part V: What the future holds for CU TL:DR - We totally made the right decision, but, like nothing worked out well. Who knew?! From Oregon, who seems to hate Scott with a passion reserved for few things: Canzano: Pac-12 Networks facing questions and a cloudy path Tl:DR "One high-ranking conference official told me: "No media company wanted to partner with the Pac-12. ESPN declined. FOX, CBS, even the Discovery Channel declined. Nobody knows this. “We weren’t wanted.”"
  11. They are not playing with the team they started the year with. Lost a bunch to injuries and sit outs.
  12. As opposed to whom? Power Five - Total Defense (through December 3rd, 2020) Conference Avg Games Average Rank Average of Yds/Play Big 12 8.20 54.00 5.48 Big Ten 5.14 58.14 5.50 SEC 7.86 65.07 5.87 Pac12 2.92 70.83 5.86 ACC 8.93 74.50 5.74 AAC 8.18 79.73 5.78 FBS Average 6.85 67.13 5.71
  13. It doesn't seem money is really a factor. If he wanted to jump for money he could and, while he's not in the top 20 of coaches salaries, he's not rubbing nickels together. What's a better financial move? Keep a job making $4m a year (avg) over 10 years where they won't fire you for a bad year or get canned in 4 years where you make $5-6m and then can't get picked up again at a major level? Obviously, don't know the guy, but hearing @Al_4_ISU talk, my guess is what he wants most isn't the highest paycheck, but more where he can do it his way. Can he do that at Michigan, or does he have to do it the Michigan way? Or like FSU, is it a Jimbo battle between what he wants, vs what the boosters want? If the Cyclones can give him a blank slate to do what he wants, how he wants, the job security to not have to be 10 wins a year to keep his job, and the facilities to stay in the race, what does he really gain by moving if he's already prepping to play in championship games? I know you said Penn State doesn't seem to fit, Al, but for me Ohio State and Michigan don't really fit. Yes, both are blue bloods, midwest, mega money. But if you're not recruiting the 5 stars and running the ship the way they want it run, you're not going to be there long. Neither are really "blue collar" approach jobs. Penn State could be that, basically ISU on steroids. Either way, wouldn't shock me at all if he ended up at one of those three or ended up doing what @Parliament mentions in being the next Snyder, or Fry, or Ferenz, or Gundy, or Beamer, or Patterson, or Fitzgerald, or Dantonio, or Cutcliffe, etc. None of those guys are in jobs that have significantly more advantages than he has currently, and they all stuck around.
