So I've thought the PAC12 was paying more and they haven't been. Is that what I am seeing here?

Due to the pac 12 network sucking at monetizing the bottom half of their inventory… yes.   This also doesn’t include tier three rights where the remaining 8 get 3m each and the LHN gives UT much more.

Yeah, what @S11 said.  This is just Baylor's conference payouts by year, no T3, vs Colorado's conference payouts.

San Diego State tight end reveals players were told multiple times they were joining Pac-12

Spoiler

San Diego State tight end reveals players were told multiple times they were joining Pac-12
Just like many around the country the players of San Diego State thought they'd be in the Pac-12
KEVIN BORBA

For what has now been over a year, the Pac-12 has been in the process of responding to departures from USC and UCLA. 

While those losses are significant and there are no programs available that would make up for losing them, there has always been a thought process of who they should add to help rebuild some value. Again, not because adding them restores the value lost, but more so to get the conference more money and in significant markets like the SoCal market. Mountain West program San Diego State has long been viewed as the perfect candidate for the Pac-12, and had even taken steps recently to leave their conference before having to retreat back due to not (yet) being invited to the Pac-12.

Unfortunately for San Diego State they are now facing public ridicule after leaving the Mountain West, whether they "meant" to or not. However, it doesn't mean that they won't eventually be invited but they clearly weren't buying that the Pac-12 wouldn't invite them until they had their media rights deal done. Something that has yet to happen, and won't be announced anytime soon despite their being beliefs they'd announce it at Pac-12 media day.

While Pac-12 media day is not for another day, it was news from Mountain West media day that has caught the attention of many. Specifically, news from one player on the San Diego State roster, as First-Team All-Mountain West tight end Mark Redman revealed that the players had been told multiple times they were going to the Pac-12. 

"A year ago they said we were going, two months ago they said we were going, but really at this point the focus is just on the Mountain West and being able to win that 22nd championship for us and that's all we are really focused on. If it comes it comes, if not...it is what it is."

Even with not being invited to the Pac-12, the consensus around the country is that once the Pac-12 actually gets their deal that they will invite the Aztecs. Whether or not San Diego State will be able to join in time for next year is up to the Mountain West themselves, who were not at all appearing to want to be lenient when the Aztecs attempted to leave the first time.

And Oregon is telling every 2024 recruit they’ll play in the Big Ten. Probably telling recruits that Matt Damon and Ben Affleck will make a movie about them too. Because when they start lying, why stop?

Klownkoff: We are not announcing our media rights deal on purpose today because we want the focus to be on football.

Reporter: To be clear, that would imply that the deal is done and codified, and you're just waiting until after today.

Klownkoff: I think you're reading too much into that.

 

😂😂😂

What an idiot.  He had eight months to get ready for this press conference, and he manages to expose himself yet again as a total fraud/empty suit in less than 10 minutes.

You couldn't script this level of stupidity if you tried- you just can't make this up!!!  🤣

I am truly amazed at how people who have no business running a collegiate athletic conference are able to ascend to the role of commissioner (GK, L. Scott, D. Beebee, etc.)

The Peter Principle is alive and well in college athletics.

May mean nothing at all. 
 

I’m in Vegas staying at Encore.  The PAC-12 media day is going on, at this very minute across the street at Resorts World, which I can see out the window  

This entire week there has been absolutely zero signage or promotion on that property  what’s going on there today. 

Here’s a live pic   Plenty of Tina Fey and Katie Perry promotion, however

They could just broadcast on Youtube and monetize the channel. 

"As we wait for the result of video review we'd like to remind everyone to like, share, and subscribe , it really helps us out. Thanks."
