Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)


$19.7 million per team. Streaming. If get enough subscribers you make Pennies more per subscriber. So $19.7 million per team.

I like where your quoted article cuts off.

“An agreement with a streaming platform will pay each school $19.”

:D
 
I think the big question remains is how SDSU pays a $34 million exit fee for $19.7 million annual payment. And how much reduction is necessary to keep Oregon and Washington?
 
i don't get why USC and UCLA didn't just negotiate a little more and figure out a way to stay.

them leaving screws the entire PAC 12 and creates a mess. geographic nightmare.

how much would Apple or whoever be offering if entire PAC 12 was still together?
how much more are they making in Big Ten?

thought i saw it'll be like $30M more per year - but they would've gotten a little more with new contract in PAC 12 coming up i'm sure anyway. maybe not $30M but $10-15M?

just seems completely unnecessary over a few million for hundreds of millions of $ generating Universities?
 
With all the speculation of who ends up going where, I have to wonder which conference is willing to be the first to cross the 16-team barrier? The B1G with USCLA and the SEC with OUT gets both leagues to 16, while the B12 is at 14 after CU+1, and the ACC is at 14, while ND continues to be the White Whale of conference realignment. My sense is that none of the conferences are jumping to go past 16, but once one of them does the others will move to match.

So what are the circumstances that would convince one of the leagues break that line? Does a poor deal for the PAC free up enough piece for Yormark to push the B12 up to 20? Will the B1G finally be able to lure in ND and add the remaining top value western teams in Stanford, Oregon, and Washington? Does the SEC have any interest in expanding west of Texas, or are their eyes looking at the powers already in their footprint and into the mid-Atlantic?

Someone could correct me, but I'm pretty USC and UCLA will be making around $70 million dollars a year.. And they'll be playing their games on CBS.

I'm not sure what the networks would've offered the Pac 12 had those two schools stayed but they're getting a significant amount more in the Big 10.
 

Source: Who are you covering?
John: Oregon
Source: Oh. Well, let's see. No agreement was made, BUT there will be another meeting!
John: Could you elaborate how that meeting actually went?
Source: (thinks to himself... rats, another quesiton). OK... well, let's just say they are excited and aligned
John: Great!
Source: (Cough) about leaving (cough)
 
Arizona 247 board posters seem to be melting down after hearing this.
They think Robbins (their president) is going to mess this up and stay in the PAC9.
Robbins is a Stanford guy. I thought I heard that some people think he’s on his way to Stanford as the next president. Current president Tessier-Lavigne is resigning effective Aug 31 due to the data manipulation situation.

Potential conflict of interest if he’s dragging his feet on this for UA knowing he might be boarding a burning ship soon in Palo Alto.

Where are Oregon and Washington going to go? They, obviously, don't have a Big Ten invite and outside of some internet speculation haven't been real connected to the Big 12.

They can't snap their fingers and demand everybody come to their terms when they don't have any leverage.

Early on, but that'll go up a good bit when you combine the back half of the media rights deal along with other revenues, including $$$ from the expanded CFP.
