If they are getting less (like we all believe they will) it depends how much less. Keep it within 5mil and they stay because the presidents don’t want to leave the Pac.
I would make myself look stupid for 5 million a year.
Have we figured out who’s alt you are yet?
The question is not whether each school would prefer to stay in the P12, but whether under this new TV can they afford to stay in the conference? If the money is within 5 to maybe 10 million, I would expect them to stay as long as the difference is doable. Both schools are receiving millions of dollars from their respective school general fund now, I while the presidents would like to stay with the academics of the P12, how much more are they willing to take out of their schools general fund to pay for that to continue? This past year Arizona pumped in 31 million into athletics while Colorado was pushing 12 million. That number will go up if the media revenue goes down.

Are you using the total allocated figure for those amounts?

Honestly I was thinking literally this about 10 minutes ago. Big 12 would need an INCREASED payout if they came. Based on the brands and adding that 4th time zone would justify an increase.
I am game with that. Then add UA and CU. Call it good, that being said Uo and Uw will hold out for the B10.
It will be interesting how this new found media rights money is spent by the Big10 and SEC. Do they have fiscal discipline and use new money selectively on variable expenses like coaches salaries and capital projects/debt reduction? Or do they spend like sailors on their first leave in 6 months?The question is not whether each school would prefer to stay in the P12, but whether under this new TV can they afford to stay in the conference?

I don't think the 10 team Pac is anywhere near as strong as the 10 team B12. WAOR are good programs, but I would put their value much, much below UT and OU. And I would put our remaining 8 above theirs as well. Add in the geography and fan engagement issues they have and it is a tough hill to climb.
