Gonazaga joins the Pac12

The crazy part is that they will make a full share without football. So more than UConn...

Scratch that. NOT a done deal per everybody other than McMurphy.

If McMurphy tweeted it, it's official.

I'm waiting on Zanetto

 

[UConniki]

Don’t you mean the PAC3 ?

 

[aceboon]

I just don't see how a reshaped MWC/AAC gets these kind of revenue numbers

 

[HuskyHawk]

It's been denied by every other source. Nicole Auerbach too.

 

[HuskyHawk]

So it's a Source Off!

I know but it’s McMurphy. He’s never wrong.

 

[husky429]

Literally anyone BUT UConn. Good grief man

About football, not basketball. It may end up happening, but Memphis, USF turned down the Pac. So I doubt it is a done deal.

He's incredibly clued in on college football realignment. Maybe he has a blind spot on college basketball realignment. That said, where there's smoke there's probably fire and I would expect Gonzaga in the PAC. I could see the revenue split being incorrect though for sure.

this is exactly what we're hoping happens to UConn come 2036 when the ACC's best football programs and biggest brands join the P3. can we hang on for 12 more years and join the new ACC?

i'm guessing it will be at the low end of that range and ~$10mill isnt that much. isnt that what the AAC currently pays out? the PAC would clearly be the best group of 6 conference

Imagine that conference with Cal, Stanford, BC, SMU, Georgia tech, and Syracuse. Basketball powerhouse

“we’re”? Says whom other than @bendm? Hypothetically, which leftover new new ACC versus a similarly unknown new new Big 12+ ? Far too many unknowns to project “what we’re hoping happens to UConn” a decade+ down the road. Or, sooner based on far too many remaining unknown FSU vs ACC and Clemson vs ACC lawsuit results, negotiations, settlements, etc; similarly unknown ESPN contract look-in results, etc.

 

[StllH8L8ner]

I mean we beat Merrimack and FAU handily, what else does the Big 12 want?!

sarcasm aside let's say F$U, clemson, miami, and UNC join the BIG12. that would leave a 14 team conference with: UConn, Cuse, BC, Pitt, VT, UVA, NC St, duke, Wake, GT, Lville, SMU, Cal, Stanford and ND as a partial member.

if it paid out ~$15-20 mill/year (which seems realistic if the new PAC is projected to get ~$12mill/year) that could almost triple our current tv revenue.

Do you really want to be player in basketball in the Pac 2?

I would like them to add us for football but it would be a disaster for basketball.

Nah @bendm, simply rationally questioning how anyone can reasonably project unknown future developments; project views of all; identify which schools may comprise a future busted up new new ACC, new new Big 12, unknown evolution of football versus possible football divorce from all other sports, etc.

absolutely but there's no conceivable reason for them to just add us for football

common sense and educated guesses @Da_Aisijimo_Gou. the bread and butter of message board posters.
