No- I’m just on a plane and have limited Wi-Fi. The tweet is quoting Richard Johnson of Split Zone Duo on their private Patreon only feedDid you just out yourself as a key tweet?
As far as I am aware, there was a reason for every single time a fee was withheld. It wasn't just randomly "we don't feel like paying you everything." For what it's worth, it's been stated publicly that Colorado is getting a full share.I said normal like 500x. It's common. They don't have to do it. I actually don't know of when it HASN'T been done, but I'm sure that happened at some point.
In any case, I'm sure TCU would love to have their money back. They already took some from Cincy.
Cincinnati budgeted $26,000,000 from the conference next year .??
50% is normal.
Its what ever the op schools took to join some of the P2s. But more on point, this is what the G5s took for the 1st year, and they are not fully paid until after the 3rd year.
Again, this is normal.
u know what’s 4 times better than 4? 16.It obviously depends on how reduced it is. If it's $28mm vs $32mm then whatever. If it's $16mm vs $32mm then that's a different conversation.
Don't BE teams get about 8 right now? And the contract renegotiation is coming due for the first time since we joined.Yo

Those schools were just added to bring those fans into conversation. Memphis/UNLV/SDSU...those schools aren't going to the B12.If we lose out to a G5, Maric and Benedict need to go.
It makes no sense.How many west coast teams do they want. The PAC issue is clearly the time zone. I think you need to add one more ET team to balance more west coast teams.
Hmmm. What is Fanta trying to get at here
Silence is our friend. Don't listen to the idiots on Twitter, listen to what Yormark has said.Can anyone give a logical explanation for why we’ve heard absolutely nothing about UConn today? Wasn’t the whole logic here that the Big XII would add the two together? Maybe I’m missing something but this seems like a terrible day for us.
That was never the logic for anyone but Twitter know it alls.Can anyone give a logical explanation for why we’ve heard absolutely nothing about UConn today? Wasn’t the whole logic here that the Big XII would add the two together? Maybe I’m missing something but this seems like a terrible day for us.
Actually I think it is a deliberate leak by Yormak intending to further destabilize the PAC. Makes it less likely that the G5 schools will want to rescue the PAC.Those schools were just added to bring those fans into conversation. Memphis/UNLV/SDSU...those schools aren't going to the B12.
I agree. The information circulating in the media might be changing from minute to minute, and the timing of moves is probably somewhat unpredictable, but huge decisions like adding a member to your conference aren’t just made at the last minute. I understand why nobody here wants to get their hopes up. Still, if the most plausible rumors were always Colorado and UConn as the two Big 12 additions, then I believe this move is solid news for us.I’d really like to think that while the media pundits, bloggers, and folks like us make it sound like this process changes on a dime from minute to minute, there is actually a more purposeful and determined path behind the scenes.
It’s UConn, nope Gonzaga, nope, Oregon State. Now it’s ARizona. Does it really change that fast?
I’m hopeful that the path is set and that the underlying Colorado, then UConn theory holds.

About the Colorado full share, it could simply be someone repeating what everyone already knows. The networks have guaranteed pro rata to any P5 invite, so in that sense, the conference automatically receives $32m with Colorado's addition.As far as I am aware, there was a reason for every single time a fee was withheld. It wasn't just randomly "we don't feel like paying you everything." For what it's worth, it's been stated publicly that Colorado is getting a full share.
Now, I could see a situation where football joins in 2024 but basketball doesn't join until say 2026. Under that circumstance Connecticut would get less than a full share. Given the relative value of football and basketball in media contracts, it should not be a big number though.
I guess we'll see:
It's half for the 1st yr. I know that.Cincinnati budgeted $26,000,000 from the conference next year .
That probably includes football playoff revenue , but I doubt they get a share of Basketball revenue .
If I’m correct they are probably getting 2/3 of the current payout
They budgeted about $6+ million this last year .
