I agree; nothing substantial will happen until then (by mid-June), but I'm sure everyone's getting their ducks in a row right now.
The comments section to that article is pretty telling. About 25 Clemson fans in favor of leaving the ACC for the Big 12 and only 1 against (who appears to be a soccer fan, which might explain it since the Big 12 does not sponsor men's soccer).
I think that's actually double what Boise State had previously got, and they were on TV a ton. BSU fans floating 1.8 million a year as their current conference TV revenue.
Not saying I'm a fan of BSU keeping the Big East on life support, but it'll probably work for them unless the MWC signs a new deal that's within 20% of that. Maybe they will, I can't even pretend to know.
Is Clem's Son still at the bus stop? Is the bus even coming? How about Flordie Sue? Is she gonna leave her ShACCk?
I swear to god i'll pistol whip the next guy who mentions a team\school being at a bus stop.
How angry must Rutgers, UConn, and Louisville fans be at Pitt? From what I remember, Pitt pushed to turn down the $130million extension and then bolted to ACC. Now these schools may end up with half of amount.
Isn't Rutgers' AD one of the worst financially? Thought I remember they depend for quite a bit of $ from the university. Now scale back their TV money and watch the slide back to mediocrity.
Sorry, I was following #clemson on Twitter to see the news about the board meeting. Didn't see the article with full comments. Was just sharing what I read.
From West Virginia message board. No idea who this guy is, how he is connected, or if he knows anything he is saying. Just thought I would share.

If I was a school and could show my one football game and 20 bball games for $7Mm, I would be salivating also. The B12 in not giving away Tier 3 rights has a wonderful plus as a conference.

To me, what the Clemson BOT said was as good as saying they are gone.
I think the Big 12 and SEC are working together in this thing, I really do.
End game will be 2 16 team leagues, with semi final round games in conference to determine conference champions, which will meet in the new bowl game. I think there will probably be Big 12 / SEC challenge series in both football and basketball. All of it will lead to huge money for both conferences.

If 16 teams are the end game.....I wonder who the hell the Pac12 would be able to add? Talk about being on an island.
The catch is access. There needs to be some kind of deal for at least internet access to other B12 schools for conference games.
Especially if LHN has no providers in Iowa, ISU games on LHN should be able to stream on cyclones.tv. I'd even settle for a reasonable one time ppv online fee or the ability to buy one week or month of online from another B12 school.
It's just idiotic if there is NO WAY to watch in massive chunks of the nation. If it's a conference game, fans of conference teams should be able to watch with an internet connection or deluxe sports package sat/cable somehow.
They could add 2-4 decent athletic department fits easily if they'd stop pretending Washington State is the MIT of the west.
No apology necessary, didn't mean that as a criticism of you at all. I had already seen those tweets and thought 'damn, that doesn't sound good' and then read the full comments which had a decidedly different tone.
