and no one has explained how FSU and Clemson found a way around the GOR payments. Until we know that, we have to believe this is BS.

Makes me wonder if a “serious” rumor contains even more BS than just a regular ol’ rumor.

Obviously that's because UNC (and Duke) opted for the best basketball conference in the world instead.
I know that I am inclined to believe without any skepticism whatsoever that Colorado moving to the Big 12 somehow made the ACC GOR not so difficult to break.
IDK if this has been shared already, but here's an exclusive live look-in to the Pac-12's negotiations with the TV networks.
You even get to see George Kliavkoff pitch his counter offer to ESPN. For all the talk of his ineptitude, he looks like a pretty stone cold negotiator to me. Here it is:

I'm not buying these Clemson/FSU and Oregon/Washington rumors to the Big 10. It seems that if the Big 10 wanted Oregon/Washington they would have already added them. I think I read that Oregon/Washington will actually make the dollar amounts per team go down. I don't think Clemson/FSU can handle the exit costs it would take to break their GOR.
How many times over the past 3 months have we seen the post “If CU was going to the Big 12 they would have done it already”…so that’s obviously not how this works.
If $200 mil is the number, that's either $20m per school (assuming they go back to 10) or $17m for 8 of them so OU and Wash can get $32m. Is that enough to keep OU/Wash? Any more than that and it gets real bad for the remainders.
Maybe the Big ten moves on Oregon and Washington if/when the four corner schools leave, and get em for a discount. I could see USC and UCLA pushing for closer conference mates.
If I'm Wazzou I'm signing that and forging the other 8 signatures by noon. A stint in Federal Prison is preferable to a GOR in the Moutain West.
I won’t believe it until I see it.
With that said, people overstate the ACC contract. It’s not that teams CAN’T leave, it’s just so expensive as to not be very practical. However, IF they can get enough of a bump from the new conference and have donor backfill, a few teams might feel it’s the time.
Again, I have no info and highly doubt it. But it’s not impossible.

I can agree with some of that, but I'm not seeing how Oregon/Washington add any value to what each team is currently getting right now. It would be nice for USC/UCLA to have something closer for them and that is about the only benefit I can see at this time.
Is this the artist previously known as The Dude of West Virgina?
So, would Apple be producing those games or would the PAC continue to produce the games and show them on Apple TV? Cause I thought the production costs of the PAC network were some of the issues.
