BY has us well positioned. Big 12 does not need to panic. We have a good contract with good visibility. We have stability and commitment within our 13 teams. PAC 12 has none of those. Remember that many stayed on the Titanic and went down because they arrogantly thought the Titanic was unsinkable. They refused to get in the lifeboats. History repeats.
Don't believe any tweet from John. He will take any news and spin it to make it sound positive for the Pac 12. John simply is not a reliable/credible source
Wasn't it WAST that had emergency budget cuts? I think what's not being discussed enough is Apple financing the $70mil conference debt. Which on WAST's books was the most damaging.
If this is true and they stay together, we all know unequal revenue sharing is the sure fire way to keep a conference together (insert sarcasm). Everyone knows Washington and Oregon are going to call the shots either way, but this is publicly admitting those two schools own your ass and will be their ***** as long as they want to stick around.
I want to keep a little decency with geography. Pitt and VT make more sense, no?
If we add Memphis I'm jumping off a cliff

Get creative. Make a few games between conference members official “non-con” games. Go to eight official conference games and throw in a few of those. It can be done, think outside the box. Even if they’re officially “non-con” games, it’s still TV inventory.
If the PAC is insisting on holding together - which still baffles me, I don’t see how UW/UO sign a GOR, and I don’t see how AZ/ASU/Utah possibly trust them at all - then I guess UConn isn’t a disaster of an add. It’s not good, at all - it’s only going to dilute the football media money, even at a reduced share - but if we can’t kneecap the PAC this time, then we can’t.
I‘d rather stay at 13 and work out the schedule, leave those potential spots open for down the road (because things are gonna break up in the next 5-8 years, I betcha).

Jesus, if they actually sign a GOR today, after everything else going on...oof, They all deserve to fall into obscurity.
I thought the PAC was full of smart people...guess not.

Smart move by the state schools. Even at a reduced revenue share, their total revenues would still be higher than what they could get elsewhere
If the PAC 12 actually signs a GOR today, I will buy a Seiya Suzuki shirt from the CF Scheels.

Feels like a bunch of stubborn, egotistical old men refusing to make the hard decision to taint their legacy or some sh*t, and subsequently leaving a giant ass mess for whoever takes over for them.
Deion for football, Penny for basketball. Add Nebraska back and it's like the 90s never left!
The problem is they think they are smarter than everyone else.
If that's true, the Big 12 is right back on death row
