What the Big 10 did was like a semi driver knocking a car into oncoming traffic and then blaming the next car that hit them.

I'm looking forward to the day in the future when the Big 10 starts kicking schools out, but tries to frame themselves as being on the morally superior high ground for doing so.
**** him. He was totally fine with the Big 12 collapsing.
Let's say the B1G wants those schools (OR/WA, Stanford/CAL). There'd have to be some serious discounting to take them all since the P12 negotiations clearly say they're not worth 70 mil. And, if they do take them all, regardless of discount, that leaves less cash from Fox for the B12 takes. Thus hurting the B12 'ideal' expansion prospects (OR/WA/AZ). OR, Fox can take the mindset of the B12 'discounting' being a great way to 'rent' OR/WA out before letting the B1G offer them prior to the next round of negotiations. Thus giving the B1G more options under less duress.
If I were BY, I'd take AZ, offer OR/WA, and slow play ASU/UT. The B1G would then be the ones 'spending' and 'steering' the way.
You can bet your ass they are behind the media people running stories about the bad guys of the big 12. This whole thing is such a god damn cluster **** from hell.
I'm sure Wash/Oreg would be happy to take a half-share vs the $13.6M-$19.6M the Pac was offered. They'd still be money ahead!
Yeah, if they came in for full shares that's an additional 240 mil BIG and media partners per year, if its half shares, then they're close to Big12 money. Which is they easier league to get to the playoff? Probably other factors to consider for all entities. Ought to be an interesting month!

Stewart would have been tap dancing on the Big 12's grave if that had happened to us.
I'm not sure about him but Altimore has lost all touch with reality.
In what way would Apple severely overpaying be "the smartest move, by far"? It would be the most positive development possible for PAC shills but, smart?

Big 10's gotta love the fact that the media attention is on us for the destruction of the conference. Media ignores the fact that the ACC essentially put the nail in the coffin with the Big East. Also ignores that the Big 10 and SEC nearly destroyed the Big 12 as well. But somehow where the bad ones?
Wow. Apple didn't get that huge pile of money by vastly overpaying for things.
So these 'preliminary discussions' already have hard dollar figures attached to them. Okay, B1G, okay...
Apple should start lowering their offer each day in a reverse-auction format until somebody finally flinches.
