  1. As I recall, 50% of the TV money was distributed on appearances and 50% equal. So there was at least one year Kansas led in revenue. A typical spread of annual conference distributions might be from $7 million at the bottom to $11 million for the top earner. They did own their Tier 3 rights as well, but other than licensing, nobody made much on them. After the Pac 16 deal fell through and the TV contract doubled, UT and OU led the push to just distribute everything but Tier 3 equally. That made aggy unhappy. MU and KU had been on the verge of being left behind, so they were fine with it. NU and CU were gone. Pac 12 was much more uneven. I remember one year in the 2000-2010 range when USC got $7.5 million and Washington St. $2.5 million.
  2. Probably you have 4 on NYD and 2 being semi-finals. The question is whether those are fixed or rotated. Rose wants to always have a NYD game. If Fiesta would always be a semi-final, that could work just fine.
  3. The Rose was basically the Big 10 and USC/UCLA. So it stays with the new Big 10 schools.
  4. Well if the new window cougars and window beavers merge with the MWC and rename it....
  5. The other alternative is that Oregon and Washington were making the leaks to put pressure on the Big 10 to act.
  6. So all those "sources" were once again Oregon St. and Washington St.
  7. Not the worst, but really bad. The A&P conference?
  8. 2005 was pretty good. Big 12 still intact. Big East alive. ACC a South Atlantic Conference.
  9. I'm betting on 1) Big 10 cooling on UO and UW and 2) your last sentence-ASU/OSU/WSU leaking more nonsense. McMurphy, Wilner and a lot of others are pretty sure UO and UW end up in the Big 10 eventually. Stupid to be Rose and stay on the Titanic instead of taking one of the limited lifeboats.
  10. Uneven revenue sharing was favored by A&M, Nebraska, Colorado, Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas and Kansas. Seeing a pattern there?
  11. And Washington St. replaces the Blue and Red window Cougars.
  12. We'll play with reasonable frequency since they are dropping divisions, but you may have "champions" who play 8 of the other 19 teams. League titles will become crap shoots depending on who you play and you will periodically have to use convoluted tiebreaks that make 2008 Big 12 South look reasonable. But its already done. Lets hope they all stop at 18. UW/Oregon to B$G 10++++++++ and FSU/Clemson to $EC. ACC and Big 12 figure out how the M2 looks.
  13. Well in 1914, Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Baylor and Oklahoma St. met in a meeting to create the SWC and LSU thought about coming (Rice joined before the first season). Sub Texas Tech for Arkansas and you have the 1996 Big 12 South. Now in 2024 Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma and Arkansas will be back together in the SEC along with LSU. its all happened before. it will all happen again..
  14. Crow really is an idiot.
  15. Call the bluff. Do a 2-6 or 3-5. You still get every other school 6 in 13 years or 5 in 13 years. Not much difference than every other year. Either 1 less or 3 less over 26 years.
  16. Corn got screwed worse than anyone. Rutgers still made a lot more than they would have in the AAC. Nebraska made less than if they had stayed in the Big 12. They got a minimum of the current Big 12 contract, but it was renegotiated for more than double.
  17. Actually I think Rutgers is getting a full share now, but they took loans, so it will be a while before they pay it off.
  18. Maybe there is a Constitution separate from the by-laws. I didn't read that whole thing. The NCAA is notorious for having to read other unreferenced sections to understand other sections.
  19. From the link. Admission, expulsion, amendments require 3/4. Dissolution is pretty much expulsion and amendments. The Absolute Three-Fourths Matters are as follows: (i) the admission of new Members to the Conference pursuant to Section 1.4.3, (ii) the expulsion, suspension or probation of a Member pursuant to Section 1.4.4, (iii) any amendment of this Constitution, (iv) any amendment of the Bylaws (except amendments to Article 2.5), and (v) waiver of notice or other required process for a Board meeting pursuant to Section 1.5.1.5.2. 1
  20. https://sicem365.com/s/15486/realignment-thoughts-as-colorado-goes-big-12-prime-instead-of-pac-12-after-dark Bradshaw from sicem on school values and conference mistakes on media.
  21. People are saying that is the default North Carolina state law-a majority. I suspect it would take more than that. The by-laws have majorities for some things. I think other things take 2/3. And the biggest take 3/4. It doesn't specifically talk about dissolution, but I think it is implied that it takes 3/4. People are saying its only a majority since it isn't specifically mentioned (ie default to NC state law).
  22. https://sports.yahoo.com/sources-big-ten-narrows-focus-on-oregon-washington-175549459.html "As the Big Ten continues to wait to see what happens with the future of the Pac-12 Conference, the league’s focus on possible expansion has narrowed to adding just two schools — Oregon and Washington, according to industry sources. While a plan to also add Cal and Stanford and move to 20 teams strong in 2024 has been discussed, a smaller, two-team expansion that broadcast partners favor seems far more likely as of Thursday afternoon.... Big Ten broadcast partners see value in adding the Ducks and Huskies, but have balked at moving to 20 teams and bringing in Cal and Stanford. The two Bay Area schools offered appeal to university presidents who like the association with elite institutions and entry into the populous, wealthy and tech company-rich region of the country...."
  23. Not sure if its been posted above, but Wilner said the Pac's fate will be decided in the next 24-36 hours. Lots of stuff going on. ACC, Big 10, Big 12, Pac schools. Sounds like he is right finally.
  24. Well for about a dozen schools. The rest would like a conference title.
  25. I hate to see anyone left behind, well SMU deserved it, but WSU and OSU have small fan bases. The only P5 schools WSU outdraws are Duke and Vanderbilt. They would only be average attendance in the AAC. Oregon St. only beat WSU, Duke, Vandy, Wake Forest and Kansas over the last 4 years. But KU outdrew them by 12k last year when KU was no longer the worst team in FBS. They draw like small private schools despite WSU having over 20k students and OSU over 30k. They seem likely to join SWC members SMU and Rice, Tulane (who did it to themselves withdrawing from the SEC in the 60s and dropping bb in the 80s), and Big East members USF, UConn and Temple as the dumped.
