Lol at Ohio State leaving

Lincoln Riley has been affiliated with 4 diff conferences since November

So $22M for B12. What’s the tv deal for the new P12?
[Reply]

You’re conflating tv deal with total distribution. The TV deal is only 22.5M vs the PAC projected at 30M. And the B12 expected to take a 50% haircut when OU-Tex left (Bowlsby even said that publicly) but it was only 20%. Assuming that’s the case for the PAC they’d be looking at something like $36M

Also, T3 was included in the tv deal of 2019. Tex and OU got to keep theirs.

The number you’re referencing was only for tier 1 rights.

If UW and Oregon bolt. I could see a merger between the remains of the PAC and Big 12 to form the first super conference. You would use a two division four pod setup:

Pacific Division
West Pod: WSU, Oregon State, Stanford, Cal, Colorado/TT

Mountain Pod: ASU, AZ, Utah, BYU, Colorado/TT

Big Division
Plains Pod: TCU, Baylor, OSU, Kansas, KSU

East Pod: WV, ISU, UCF, Cinci, Houston

8 game conference schedule. 4 games against your pod, one home and one away against the other pod in your division, and a home game and a away game against the two pods in the other division.

So for example a WSU schedule would look like:

Home games: OSU, Colorado/TT, AZ, ISU
Away games: Stanford, Cal, BYU, Baylor

I don’t think there will be a merger. Big12 just adds Arizona, Arizona State, Utah, and Colorado. Oregon and Washington if the B1G doesn’t bring them in with Notre Dame and potentially Stanford(or maybe it’s just Oregon who goes with).

Your link is from a Baylor fan. That’s not a source. He claims the distro with OU-Tex was $47m and it’s $42m without. That’s ludicrous and you know better.

I love how KU is irrelevant and "nobody wants us" and then everyone is going to be furious when we leave the Big 12. It shouldn't matter where we go, nobody cares right?
[Reply]

Put us in the Shit Scraper Conference. Doesn't matter. KU is still going to win national championships.
[Reply]

Personally I like having KU around. Free win in football and some fun basketball games, especially the years Iowa State is relevant there… which hopefully continues based on our new coaches first year.

And I mean shit, I’m sure y’all will find a football coach who can turn it around eventually.
[Reply]

It's not impossible for a strong school to have BB success in an otherwise crappy conference, but it makes it harder.

If you're not regularly getting nationally televised match ups, it makes recruiting harder.

Playing weaker schools mean you aren't battle tested.

Sure, you can try and schedule big time opponents for their non conference games but that is hit or miss.

EDIT- VIP article, but it said Arizona, ASU, Utah, and Colorado have a meeting with the Big12 on Tuesday.
[Reply]

That would be interesting to see CU go back to the Big 12.
