Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

ESPN’s ability to carry those games and matchups in those late windows is part of what may set up the rump-Pac-12 to be the raiding conference a year later when the Big XII GOR is up. Keep in mind they can use that time window during basketball season as well as an ancillary benefit to the network

The theory being Big12 games, no matter how good or compelling will be competing against B1G and SEC games and will have smaller viewership.
Pac12 has no P5 competition for the night time games. Still TBD is how many people in eastern and central time zones want to watch the late night games from the West coast.

If The B1G wants to send a message to ESPN they should just go ahead and reach out and see if we're interested in jioning them.

It would totally piss them off.

Actually, the ND game will be the lead in to the B1G game. NBC will air B1G games at 7:30pm, which means no night games at home for Notre Dame. Ads for ND games during the B1G game would have to be for the next weeks game. Ads for the B1G game during the ND game would be for the game that follows the conclusion of the ND game.

That problem is the remaining B12 is not in any way attractive to the ACC member schools at present. Maybe if this occurred before the B12 expanded or if the ACC loses members, but not now.

I think it’s fair to say we can expect no change before 2025. I also note that UConn’s Big East withdrawal fee drops by $15 million in 2026.

Coincidence? Well, yeah, but still…

None of what Swarbrick says here indicates they're staying independent. In fact, being in the B1G would be far better for their olympic sports.

I agree. It was actually a surprising interview.
