  1. Yeah, I don't see how the SEC maximizes its ESPN contract without going to a 9-game league schedule. The match-ups are so much better. They need to dump the November FCS games, too, IMO.
  2. Well, Disney/ESPN did it before to keep the Big 12 afloat by granting pro rata increases for the additions of TCU and WVU. But, we know that was to keep UT & OU from bolting to the Pac with FOX. SDSU doesn't have the cache of either of those, so they'd be betting on their potential. It doesn't appear that CBS or NBC are interested, either, so they're probably screwed.
  3. This talk of the Pac-10 poaching Big 12 members is a head-scratcher without the flagships in LA. What motivation does OSU, KU, or TCU have to make that move if the money is comparable? IMO, they're gonna have to backfill with the likes of SDSU, Boise St, Fresno St, or UNLV if they stick together and expand. Yes, UW and UO are big brands who draw more eyeballs on average than anyone in the Big 12. But, only marginally so and I wouldn't consider either "anchors", not that the Big 12 has any either. Maybe the Pac-12 and Big 12 should merge while adding the Top 2 MWC options and be first to 24? This "loose partnership" proposed between the Pac-12 and ACC also looks like a nothingburger. ESPN doesn't have to do shit for the ACC to boost their payouts.
  4. Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff's legacy hinges on what happens next
  5. Technically, nobody is screwed until recruits actually sign their NILs. Verbal commitments are nice, but not binding. When is the early signing date? Last year it was December 15th - 17th.
  6. This article is behind The Athletic's paywall. A little help?
  7. This U-Dub fan has it figured out. 😆
  8. Agreed Which blue do you prefer for BYU? Royal or Navy?
  9. ...and athletic department revenues
  10. Everybody forgets Kansas was the first to monetize their T3 with basketball. That's what inspired DeLoss to get creative. He thought we were leaving money on the table. ESPN money-whipped him bc they didn't want to lose UT to the Pac and FOX. I blame KU for all this, bc it's just as plausible as Dick Justice's drivel.
  11. I can't tell if the burnt orange is darker or not. No confirmation from UNISWAG
  12. ...and the annual 8-4 aggy roller coaster begins its ascent.
  13. I thought you were older. I liked the original Big XII best, too. I may get a SWC t-shirt as a gag gift for somebody.
  14. ...and a nostalgic tear rolls down @'stache's cheek
  15. That worked for UT in 2005 too.
  16. It's a throwback that combines earlier PSU uniforms. Here's the description,
  17. Maybe Yormark has already done this with the Pac-6 targets, for starters? First 4 in get the slots? He's still got time to accommodate additional teams if the media partners deem them value adds. Or maybe the Big 12 moves forward as a 16-team league in line with the B1G and SEC?
  18. That's what made a "loose partnership" between the PAC - sans USC & UCLA - and ACC somewhat ridiculous. There's really no history or compelling match-ups for which ESPN would overpay. Arizona vs UNC in basketball? Maybe Clemson vs Oregon in football. Okay...
