I think that's because there are still a lot of unanswered question from the OU and Texas side. To me, it sounds like no one knows why OU and Texas are doing this, so they need to understand why.
I believe JP has been prepared from this for a decade. I believe he'll have us in the best position possible coming out of this, I'm just not sure what that position is. A lot of this is completely out of his control.
And yet in 2018 in an 8 win year their tickets scanned per game was 24,000.Yeah here's some. According to Vivid seats Missouri fans buy more tickets than fans of any other school in every county in the state of Missouri.

If the PAC adds Tech, Baylor and TCU don’t bring value. Tech has way more fans than TCU and Baylor.
So what's the best case medium term scenario for ISU right now? IMO it's not an intact Big 12 with Texas and OU still in the league; just going to hold the conference hostage again in 5 years.
Get a pile of money out of Texas/OU for leaving and a Big 10 invite? I say medium term because their would be nothing stopping the SEC from poaching the top 3 teams in the Big 10 in the future.....

if you pay out based on tv ratings, the only thing that matters, the other conferences are going to all implode, it will be total chaos, you think alabama is going to take equal to vandy when texas is getting paid based on ratings, lol no, the answer is right here people, but the hard part is executing this
Agreed....TCU and Baylor would be looking at Conference USA or the AAC....I'd feel bad for TCU.
He’s either seething with rage or he had a plan already in place.
Tech’s guy blabbing on Twitter yesterday makes me think they are ******.
The B1G has been the best option for ISU since the first round of realignment, it's just never been a realistic one.
B1G's next move here should be to go after the top of the PAC12, which ironically could create maybe the best realistic landing spot for ISU from the fallout of this.
The PAC12 TV Deal is the worst in the P5, Larry Scott was a clown that set them up to fail, and all their top members have complained about the media deal in the past. If the B1G grabbed USC/Oregon/Washington/UCLA on the way to 20, they could approach ND on adding them too so they could keep the USC/ND game. ND probably should be seeing the writing on the wall that in an expanded playoff format, it's been discussed that the top seeds will only go to winners of CCG's.
The PAC12's media deal expires in 2023 and all their members are unhappy with it. I suspect the top of the B1G will demand that it counter the SEC's move here in some way. To me this is the most logical next domino to fall.

If there's anyone who likely has been planning for this, I have to think it's JP.
This is unfortunately correct. This is 100% about money. I'd prefer the top 64-96 schools just break away and collectively bargain a single TV deal so everything in the sport could be about rivalries and short trips for athletes. The money machine demands otherwise.
Any addition has to add $55M-$60M+ per addition, otherwise it just doesn't make any sense.
It’s a good thing. Pollard is always strategic in his messaging. The fact he isn’t out calling ******** on OU and Texas tells me he knows what’s going on, can’t change it, and has a plan in place. Once the two schools jet, the dominos will start to fall.
Bright side: Our chances of winning the Big 12 just increased. Oklahoma isn't going to get any favors from the refs this year
I'm genuinely surprised at how many on here would choose joing the Big 10 as their first choice.
Texas isn't even in the SEC yet and already A&M is back to being a second-class citizen in their own conference.
Do they though? At this point, who cares about the why? It's like a spouse who decides to cheat repeatedly. At some point, the 'why' just doesn't matter and you're better off planning for your future than constantly asking why.
