Yeah, that quote begs the question "according to who?". I'm sure several of them hope for a deal. Some are undoubtedly praying for one. Certainly doesn't mean everyone is on board.

Yep if the deal was as good as the B12's they would have approved and closed. The schools are taking the numbers and seeing what the likely/actual numbers are and then decide if they will stay. The next meeting will be about finalizing the deal and backfilling for CO and IMO AZ. Then the pressure is on 2 more to decide.
Patience. Wait till they get into the unequal sharing.
Yeah. I'm guessing they really didn't need Rutgers. Plenty of Big 10 fans in NYC.
Ehhhh. I bet Arizona leaves.
Where are people getting the Arizona to the Big 12 isn't happening?
Because… overreacting to everything is what we do here.
What I pulled from that “X”:
1. The PAC X doesn’t have a media deal yet.
2. The numbers being proposed aren’t anywhere close to the Big 12 numbers like GK promised, forget about exceeding it.
The question is “does a deal involving escalations to $20 mil via streaming platforms satisfy the presidents? Odds are probably not.
I don't think anyone expected a deal to be approved today. If the reporting sounded more positive, something like "The members left the meeting feeling positive that a deal would be reached soon and another meeting is being scheduled" I would take that as a sign no more teams are leaving.
But that's not what is being reported by anyone yet...
Getting the same feeling. If AZ doesn’t announce Big 12 soon, it ain’t happening. Oh well.
George Kliavkoff-"Great news, we have a new TV deal!"
Pac 9-"with who?"
GK-"Just trust me bro"
How soon is soon? Colorado waited almost a week after Pac-12 media days to leave, but if the reporting is true they were out the door that Friday.
Especially when Arizona’s head coach is saying that they wouldn’t be responsible for killing the PAC 12 if they lost and told the parents of every player that Arizona wouldn’t take a bad deal and would know where they will be soon. (All of that according to Scheer). They may not move, but that doesn’t sound like Arizona to the Big 12 is dead
Pac-12 facing uncertain future as media deal expected to be revealed
The future of the Pac-12 is uncertain as conference presidents are expected to meet today to finally get from Commissioner George Kliavkoff what they hope is a strong vision of what the league's television deal will look like.
that sounds like iowa city in the summer
