Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)
- Thread starter ISUcyclones11
- Start date
already moving the goalposts from "deadline for a deal" to "a framework for a deal" which is vague PR BS for "we are still negotiating" which means "we dont have a deal we can sign"
To be fair, I'm guessing they're having to come up with incredibly creative angles to make some sort of package at least swallowable by the schools. Not to mention, they've probably had to start over a few times after talks breaking down.
i mean... if you look at it only in terms of outcomes. there is a 50/50 shot you 2 get hitched. either it will or wont happen. see, i can PR too.
At this point how aren't teams just jumping ship? The amount of delay is beyond comical at this point
I look forward to your more in depth framework that will surely lead to your success in this endeavor.
Because they don’t want to move and the schools that have a landing spot already have everything worked out for that despite what they say.
when the repo man shows up and starts putting their **** in trucks they will come begging.
How do we even know they are negotiating? My opinion is they probably have 3 or 4 options at the “take it or leave it” stage. They are acting like a guy that got a DUI and lawyered up…just trying to delay their name in the paper for as long as possible.
Probably true. I'd be shocked if Colorado and Arizona aren't already working to get on board. It will be some random day we aren't expecting it will get announced
this. it appears CU and Arizona are doing the others a solid and not jumping until the last moment to give the PAC a chance to hang together, which is understandable.
Yeah, that stood out to me too. Sounds like they are setting the expectation that this thing won't be signed by media day.
It's gonna be hella entertaining watching GK get grilled.
absolutely. you only ever hear the losing side talking about the negotiations, and ESPN and FOX and everyone else isnt saying ****.
The most recent excuse is up until January they didn’t think UCLA would actually leave, and that this type of negotiation is completely new to Apple so GK has had to hold their hand through the process. Per Canzano.
he's getting canned beforehand and then an empty chair will take all questions from the media.
ESPN just shitcanned the legend Suzy Kolber.
It seems like it'll start showing 20 hours of Ridiculousness with a few games mixed in.
Yormark is a goddam superhero for getting a deal done before the wheels blew off of the worldwide leader
Omg listen to new Wilner and Canzano pod. The crying and cope material is amazing.
Well, you see, it's coming along well but we're just not at the point we can publicize anything. Let's put a target date out there of say 7/21 and go from there. These things are complicated though so it may slip a bit.
