Tell me AZ is going to Big 12 w/o telling me AZ is going to the Big 12.
Again, if Arizona is staying with pac12 there’s no way they are letting this mouthpiece get away with this
The best description of this deal and the funniest is someone calling it Onlyfans but with college football teams playing football
Ugh. I hate that it's X now.
Yes, people do understand there is a linear component. Apple has the right to upsell any premium games to a network. What is that, like 4-5 games a year? And won’t WOAR insist on a premier cut of any game involving them?
If this was $35 million a year base case, I could see the PAC ballwashers trying to sell it as “we got more than Big 12”. But I would be pissed if BY or JP relegated us to Apple streaming, even for $40 million. And their deal is not $40, but $20.
Az won’t go without their neighbors. Wash/ORGie want higher status. Cali folks are high minded. That leaves OSU WSU and UConn to fill the last spot. Why not WSU instead of UConn?
travel cost to get to WSU would be enormous. Keep in mind, it is not just football and basketball, it is all the other sports too
If we HAVE TO take the least desirable teams in the PAC, I would take Oregon State over Washington State.
They have a better overall athletic program.
I don’t think we will be in that position, however.
There are reports that the B12 TV networks prefer 14, unless it's UO and UW to make 16.
With the reports that the 3 remaining corner schools want to stay together, do you think the TV networks can be convinced to go to 16 with all 3?
If the choice is all 3 or UConn only, got to think they go all 3.
Maybe there's a discussion of a reduced payout for those 3?

Feels like everything hinges on B1G taking WAOR. Once that relationship becomes clear, everything else falls into place.
Nah, I think the talk of one more was just a Yormark play to put pressure on the schools to jump. Pretty sure ASU and Utah would get full shares.
Because their fiscal mismanagement of their athletic department would be a considerable drag on the conference.
I don’t think that’s happening
Could well depend on what Fox will or will not do as they are not contractually obligated like ESPN is.
Small correction to his X. That would be 10% of US people. There are only 131 million households in the US.
