Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

[HFCS]

I'm gonna be disappointed if the announcement doesn't involve Methodists when it finally comes from the brotherhood of elite secular higher learning that happens to play foosball.

I've received a leaked copy of Kliavkoff's presentation of the TV rights deal:

It means something, in my mind, because it simply can’t be the end. It’s been covered a little bit already (@HoopsTournament covered it briefly). It is impossible to schedule with 13 teams. Not just “hard”, but mathematically impossible, so the Big12 has to add another institution.

The prevailing thought is that institution is Arizona, and Arizona leaving would cripple the PAC. If Arizona doesn’t leave, we’re staring directly at UCONN.

The cards are stacked against the PAC, for sure, but all things being equal, SDSU replacing CU isn’t as far fetched as people think. The problem for the PAC is how much it would cost SDSU to make such a move ($34M exit fee) plus the fact the PAC has, presumably at best, a ****** deal on the table that GK will present tomorrow.

But from a Pac9 perspective, if we are both saying Colorado really wasn't a big deal for the league, then you could have replaced Washington St with Colorado in this and the we would be in the same boat? I don't know about that.

And your right, if they can add SDSU it would be a good fit for them. But it will, at best, be a close replacement from a revenue standpoint. It could be a significant hit to revenue. If it was a significant bump one would have thought they would have been added prior to the MWC drop dead date for leaving.

He has a point. Again…the Buffs, by themselves, mean close to nothing.

Agree, the Buffs don't move the needle much on their own. However, it's one more spin on the PAC's death spiral. No deal and bad offers = Buffs move. No deal and worse deal = AZ moves. Still no deal and worse offers = OR/WA/ASU/UT have a tougher time resisting.

Live look at GK presenting their media right deal

Wonder if GK's "deal" is for 8 or 9 or 10 or 11 or 12 teams, maybe for a merger with MWC, guess we get to find out tomorrow,

They are taking the best of the ACC and the NFL east division along with UNLV

 

[enisthemenace]

What if the deal was there and he simply didn’t want to present it to CU?

No way that is what happened, but to Scheer’s point, it is all very interesting that GK all of a sudden has something to present that he didn’t have a couple days ago? Weird.

- GK will present a bar chart of the Pac12 media deal compared to ACC, B1G, B12, and SEC
- Pac12's bar will be highest on the chart*

*GK will sit nervously hoping no one notices the Pac12's bar is the only one plotted on the secondary vertical axis

 

[Stormin]

Yet the University of Kansas goes by KU. That always had bothered me.

Because Kentucky goes by UK.

 

[Rods79]

I find it a minor miracle GK could present just “a” number.

Could there have been numbers/deal there and GK didn't share because he was trying to get more?

MU, CU, OU...always seemed weird.

Clownzano is really really hoping GK can patch the hole in the Titanic with the scotch tape he has been handed.

My next Freemasons meeting is going to be lit when we start scheming our next moves.

Could be for sure
