Seriously, if the offer is say $10M less a yr, that might not be enough for Arizona or Arizona St to go due to academic alliances and programs the Pac 12 have.

Additionally, Colorado is a relative newbie and doesn't have the same depth of time and investment in the Pac 12 as the other schools.

This whole situation is brinksmanship between the PAC10 and Big12. The Big12 has the PAC in a sweat box with the clock ticking. We are sitting on the back burner as a plug-in piece. We probably get screwed if the 4 corner schools all go. My assessment:

All 4 Corners In - UConn out unless they go to six (UConn Gonzaga)
3 of 4 Corners (No ASU - state has said they aren’t moving) - UConn fills spot 4

Colorado Only - UConn in as number 2 slot

All 4 Corners Stay - UConn slot 1 and SDSU maybe slot 2 or Memphis

I’d say we are at 80% probability of a formal invite, because I can’t see the PAC getting so squeezed the conf implodes. I think $30M +|- 2M per school is the magic number the keeps the conference from imploding.
 
Someone on the TCU fansite posted that the PAC 12 is going to hold together due to the large amount of research money that gets passed around in the PAC12. Supposedly that money is far greater than the football money. I have no idea if that is true, but I sure hope it is true.

According to this article from the University of Utah, the school reached $686 million in research dollars in the fiscal year 2022 and continues to see growth in that arena due to its connection to the Pac-12 and the other AAU schools associated with the conference.

Unpacking Latest On Pac-12 Media Rights Negotiations

It's been a while since I last addressed the topic of the ongoing Pac-12 media rights negotiations. From my perspective, not much has changed.

TCU fans are morons for the most part. Research dollars have nothing to do with conference affiliation. We went through this when our fans thought we were going to the B1G. Now alumni base, out of state students etc....that is a factor.

That may be true officially, and yet these academic connections do seem to matter. I guess we will find out soon enough. If the PAC 12 holds together it will be because of the AAU research money.

This and the fact most PAC-12 schools will have to hold their noses if they have to join the B12 due to academics. I have to to imagine schools like Stanford and UC Berkeley will not even consider it unless they absolutely have no choice. I think remaining PAC will try to join the ACC if the conference does implode.

Let's hope Colorado will leave on its own, and UConn will be their partner to make it 14. Frankly, B12 needs to get to 16 at minimal just to keep pace with B1G and the SEC.

As a KU fan you are welcome to post here. But we don't read in fans of other schools to the set of secrets that we UConn fans share.

In particular Rule Number One of Conference Realignment. You appear to not yet be familiar with it. Good. That means that the UConn fans have not blabbed to those on the outside and there are no sensitive documents being stored in insecure places. But reading between the lines you may perhaps figure it out. Especially if you are familiar with yankee talk. ;)
 
Does Utah's $686 million in research funding cover the costs of Pons and Fleischmann tidying up the lab after their famously discredited "cold fusion" folly?

I thought Rule 1 is we don’t talk about Rule 1?
