  1. So Arizona was going to sign the awful Apple deal. I didn't think they would. I guess he lost the Arizona board fight to the ASU president.
  2. Well its hard to tell how much of the 20 year decline is due to adding 25 schools to FBS and how much is on existing schools, if any.
  3. That's unreal Some of that has to be deliberate. It can't all be switching to chairbacks and adding boxes.
  4. The prior contract had such specifications. Do you have any evidence it has changed? And of course Fox only has the one Big 10 window and can't do any Big 10 content on the other two windows.
  5. I'm guessing the P4, ND and the MAC and CUSA are part of the majority who favor dropping to 5/7. MAC and CUSA will not benefit very often and so will be disadvantaged vs. AAC and MWC. MAC has always kind of gone along with the Big 10. MWC, AAC and 2Pac are opposed. Not sure where the Sun Belt would fall. But Aresco is taking a logical position of asking the P4 to do a deal. I think Hancock is nuts if he thinks you can change the rules in the middle of the 2024 season. But he won't be around.
  6. For those like the guy in the video who missed it, this was decided November last year for 2024 and 2025: https://theathletic.com/3904973/2022/11/16/cfp-expansion-revenue-rose-bowl/ "...The Board was able to resolve issues tied to revenue distribution for the 2024 and 2025 seasons, if the CFP is to expand from four to 12 teams before the end of its current contract. The source said that the revenue distribution model agreed upon by the Board will make payouts more even per Power 5 school. What else to know As it stands now, each Power 5 league earns roughly the same payout each year, regardless of how many teams it sends to the CFP or how far they advance. That has created some friction, especially for schools in leagues that are expanding. For example, Alabama, a team that has participated in the CFP almost every year of its existence, would be making less per year than Washington State, which has never come close to participating — all because a 16-team SEC will be dividing its revenue by more members than a 10- or 12-team Pac-12 will. The compromise agreed upon Wednesday reduces disparity and allows the focus to be on per-school payouts instead of per-league payouts that then get sliced different ways based on varying membership size. Payouts to the Group of 5 leagues remain unchanged...."
  7. North Carolina is a commodity in football like the 4 corners. Not bad, but not P2 material except as filler. Clemson is one of the regulars at the top of the polls and is top 10 in TV ratings over the last 10 years. They fill an 80,000 seat stadium. People don't seem to understand how strong a program Clemson has been since long before Dabo. They are really the equivalent of an Auburn or Tennessee.
  8. Wrong. They have a contract and will be on ABC and Fox. This sort of thing is spelled out in these contracts. This is just a fantasy in your head. Now there will be more ESPN+ games and fewer FS1.
  9. But they do not get autobids without 6 basketball and 5 members for other sports. So they are effectively dormant.
  10. And Sankey said, the CFP is NOT the NCAA. They will not treat a 2Pac/MWC merger as a "contract conference." In any event, they have agreed to split the money by the number of P5 members. So all a 2Pac gets is 2/70ths of the contract conference money. Big 10 gets 18 shares, SEC and Big 12 get 16 and ACC gets 17 while ND gets 1.
  11. No. The majority of the money IS from the media contract, not basketball/bow/CFP. I wasn't precise. We aren't getting paid for the media contracts in 2024-5. But it hasn't been disclosed how much ESPN is paying us in "transition fees." If ESPN doesn't want the ACC to break, they could have set it up that way so technically Texas and OU did not get to sell their media rights in the last year of the GOR, but ESPN is compensating us. On the other hand, it has to look like a great deal to FSU if they can get it and get into the SEC.
  12. Hard to believe she is a sprinter looking at the film. She was real slow getting to the QB.
  13. The way that is written makes it sound like we got out for free. We don't get money the year we aren't there and we take the same cut everyone else does to bring in the new members. Its interesting that neither conference is paying us in the last year of the GOR. But ESPN is giving us some money directly and keeping the Big 12 whole.
  14. Prime Time does know how to promote himself. That was the highest rated after dark game ever. I still don't know how good a coach he will be, but he is a GREAT salesman.
  15. Kind of like Maryland and Purdue Big 10 games on NBC? I think they can't wait until the Big 10 expands to 18. https://www.sportsmediawatch.com/college-football-tv-ratings/ Prime time Syracuse-Purdue drew 1.25 million on NBC, 12th for the day, behind Michigan's buy a win on BTN, Minnesota-UNC on ESPN, LSU-MSU on ESPN and 8 other games, including some buy a wins. Previous week Charlotte-Maryland on NBC prime time drew 665k, #17 for the week, behind Okie St.-Arizona St. on FS1, Illinois-Kansas and Ole-Miss Tulane on ESPN2 as well as 13 other games, most less than stellar matchups.
  16. Let's see. Last 20 years Pac 12 champs: USC 7 Oregon 6 Stanford 3 Washington 2 Utah 2 Other 7 zero They got Utah. They weren't getting any of the rest. Last 20 years SWC champs: aggy 6 Texas 5 Houston 4 Arkansas 2 Baylor, SMU, Texas Tech 1 each Rice, TCU 0 And BYU has an MNC. Cincinnati made the CFP.
  17. Well in fairness, 3 of the unranked unbeatens are in the SEC.
  18. Well in the coaches' poll, KSU still has more votes than Missouri. In the AP poll Tennessee is rated ahead of Florida who stomped them last night. In the Coaches' poll Tennessee is still rated while Florida is down around #29. They aren't even looking at all the scores before voting.
  19. Pete Thamel tweet: There’s optimism on both sides as they dive further into the details to figure out a potential arrangement. The Army-Navy game would be a non-conference game if Army joins the AAC and still be played after the season. 5:31 PM · Sep 14, 2023 · 21.9K Views
  20. You specifically say what the meeting is before attending. A meeting to sort things out and negotiate. You must be a lawyer. Lawyers just make things complicated and expensive. Suing before talking is just giving a big middle finger to everyone. And how smart is it that everything is frozen now? They can't get anything done on their home for next year. Nobody is going to cooperate. Many recruits in all their sports are going to go somewhere else. Its just more bad decisions as Sgt. Schultz has been making all along. Now its possible there were efforts to try to resolve things, but the fact that the conference was trying to get the meeting to figure out what they could do to keep all their staff from quitting indicates that none of the Pac 12 presidents are talking. They are as dysfunctional as ever in their dying days. It will be interesting to see if the 10 get involved in this at all or if they do their own lawsuits once this trial starts. If they do nothing, then it indicates WSU/OSU delayed everything for no reason.
  21. And then you sue on any particular thing you don't like while attending the meeting under the understanding that you don't think its an official meeting. Getting the lawyers involved STOPS negotiations. But then WSU/OSU have not shown themselves to be smart.
  22. UVA was hot, but nothing like that UCLA game in 1997. Besides the kick, I remember it being odd that we booed Virginia as they came out on the field. Virginia?!
  23. Good choices. 1. Rose Bowl 2. 1969 Big Shootout. Guess you are too young to remember that 3. 1996 Big 12 CCG 4. 1990 Houston 5. 1998 Ricky breaking the record vs. aggy Lots of other good memories mentioned. That Tony Jones late TD vs. Arkansas early 80s, Stoney Clark's stop of OU, this year's Alabama game, Bevo going after UGA at the Sugar Bowl, 1977 OU, 1976 OU where Russell Erxleban carried the team with long punts and long FGs (6-6 tie), and don't forget 1995 Brackens hit on Tech punter after fake kick-ranks up with 90 UH and 98 A&M for loudest game.
  24. Which is why they should have all had a meeting. But WSU/OSU stopped that.
  25. All of you remember who Canzano the clown's sources were? Washington St. and Oregon St. So take anything that comes out of there with a grain of salt. Besides, lawyers are paid to lie. So you have professional liars representing proven liars/delusional idiots.
