  1. Well their message board people do think they are above the Big 12 when they have hardly accomplished anything in sports (I think they had a bb title in the 40s and were runnerup in the 90s and have a couple Pac 12 titles in fb). And academically while they may be in the same conference, they aren't in the same league as Washington, Cal, Stanford, USC and UCLA. And maybe not Colorado. Even if they are AAU, they are closer to the big 12 schools.
  2. It doesn't have to work in court to work in fact. Just force the ACC to spend money on lawyers and get the ACC to the table. As Wilner said in that article, show me a contract that can't be broken and I will show you a world that doesn't exist. Everything has a price. UT and OU did get out a year early and paid less than the stated exit fee. And Swofford was a crook. But I think everyone knew that.
  3. You forgot Stewart Mandel and Tony Altimore also in the proaganda hut. Propaganda hut
  4. So Crow isn't the first idiot they've had as president!
  5. I don't remember that but its possible. Mainly I remember Stanford had to be convinced by USC to accept them. Arizona St. was the one who had a really good run under Frank Kush.
  6. Well maybe Canzano and Wilner have been auditioning!!!
  7. According to the Dude, he was told FSU will claim fraud in the inducement to challenge it. Of course, then they pay to settle.
  8. Yes. There were also tweets that it was unlimited P5s. There's no reliable info on that. What is certain is that Fox and ESPN ARE good with two P5s. They will at least listen attentively beyond that.
  9. I think the Big 12 is better off without the west coast and sticking to the MTZ.
  10. Big 10 matches Stanford for arrogance. They talk about their equal revenue sharing while stripping the best from other conferences and raping their new members (NU, MD, RU). Nebraska is probably just now catching up with Iowa St. since they left the Big 12. Rutgers had over a $200 million buy-in.
  11. https://247sports.com/college/arizona/article/george-klaivkoff-presents-pac-12-heavy-streaming-deal--213524809/ "The Pac-12 held a meeting on Tuesday morning in which George Kliavkoff was able to finally present numbers. There were three different deals presented, but the one that Kliavkoff felt the strongest about was led by Apple with a base in the low $20 million range. As we previously reported, the deal includes heavy incentives that are based on subscriptions directly related to the Pac-12. The base number of the deal is considerably low compared to other Power 5 conferences, but the selling point would be that if the Pac-12 hits certain subscription number, it could possibly surpass the Big 12 base. Sources indicate that those subscription numbers would have to be substantial in order to get to that level...."

  13. https://9to5mac.com/2023/08/01/apple-tv-pac12-streaming/?extended-comments=1 Saw this posted on another site from a non-sports source: "Although a deal is not yet approved, Apple looks set to land the streaming rights for the Pac-12 sports conference. As reported by ESPN’s Pet Thamel, the Pac-12 hosted a meeting today with its conference schools, proposing Apple as their new TV rights partner. The arrangement would materialize in a similar vein to MLS Season Pass, which sees all MLS games exclusively stream through the Apple TV app. Like MLS Season Pass, access to the Pac-12 channel would likely be a standalone subscription (separate to Apple TV+). While nothing has yet been agreed, there are reportedly no alternatives to the Apple deal on the table. Some Pac-12 schools are hesitant to go forward with a streaming TV future, worried that their viewership and exposure would drop significantly compared to the traditional TV and cable broadcast model. Reportedly, only Apple would offer financial terms at levels the conference would deem acceptable. Terms of the arrangement remain under lock and key, but are rumored to be in the region of $20-25 million per school, with bonus incentives if certain subscription levels were hit. This is slightly lower than what schools in the Big 12 conference attained through their most recent media rights deal, which landed at around $31 million per school. (Behind the scenes, some Pac-12 members have threatened to leave and join the Big 12, if the conference could not secure a similar deal.)..."
  14. As I recall Dellenger seems to be another who is sourced by Washington St. and Oregon St. ADs.
  15. Go GK is next going to set up a GoFundMe account for the Pac?
  16. Wilner expects it, just not until 2031. McMurphy says it might be soon, more likely a couple of years, but possibly not until 2031.
  17. Is that you Canzano? The last 1/3 is the least valuable.
  18. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/big-12-big-ten-expansions-threaten-pac-12-conference-survival/ar-AA1eBy9z Links to a host of articles speculating on the Pac's survival.
  19. Sounds like the is the Highlander, Christopher Lambert, aka, the Dude of West Virginia.
  20. Same thing in 2006 when the Big 10 was arguing for an Ohio St.-Michigan rematch.
  21. And deservedly so, the made for TV product had one of the worst BCS title game viewerships ever.
  22. I didn't watch the rematch. The first game was boring as hell and I didn't like Okie St. and LSU getting screwed. The Big shootout was the game of a century. NU-OU 71 was a game of the century. Vince & Co. vs. ESPN and Hollywood in the Rose was a game of the century. LSU-Bama was pretty lame.
  23. Yeah. They've been really unprofessional in insulting him all these months and they really look like clowns. Funny how so many people can't get past their east coast or west coast bias or are stuck in the 80s when KSU, ISU, TCU, etc. were doormats.
  24. Well this blog claims to know FSU's strategy-blame it on fraud. https://www.big12insider.com/articles/acc_fraud.html "...I have a well-placed source in the sports media rights industry who believes Florida State was defrauded by the ACC. Usually, I automatically judge any claim detailing an easy way out of a GoR as meritless. I am not an attorney, but I have researched the infallibility of the Big 12's grant of rights since 2012. I've spoken with over a dozen legal experts on media rights. They were unanimous in their opinion - an assignment of rights is only circumventable by breach of contract or fraud. Swofford Mislead Florida State's Board of Trustees My contact alleges the revenue projections presented to Florida State's Board of Trustees on March 7, 2013, by ACC Commissioner John Swofford and TV consultant Dean Jordan, were grossly inaccurate and misleading. FSU's Board acted on the bad-faith representations of the ACC. Swofford and Jordan knew the revenue projections were unrealistic yet assured the Board profits from a conference network would put the Seminoles on par with their SEC peers. That's what lawyers call "intentional fraud." Swofford, in his capacity as the commissioner of the ACC, intentionally misrepresented revenue projections with the intent to deceive the Board of Trustees into signing the grant of rights. My contact claims Swofford and Jordan also committed "constructive fraud" during their presentation to the Board...."
