Good question, I have been pondering that very same issue. Like others, I think that the PAC12 staying together, at least retaining 3 out of 4 corner schools, is helpful. I have been wondering why the B1G just doesn't keep going and take Cal, Stanford, WA, and OR. Under that scenario, it is hard to see how UConn would make out well. Also, CO seems to be jonesing for the B12 much like UConn for the NBE, regardless of the PAC12 media package. So if that happens, the natural second party is SDSU or UConn. SDSU will have a $34 million severance fee and UConn $30 million. Unless of course the invite comes earlier than 6/30 for SDSU. And SDSU will have a second suitor, the PAC12. I suspect that Yormark has indeed been having very preliminary discussions with Memphis, that if you parse his statements you will probably find he did not lie. But he was close to that borderline.
