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

Who is the other hawk guy?

 

[ctchamps]

he was referring to the NYC market. And also, did not claim to be an insider.

He claimed to be media connected. Got the impression he was more than a reporter.

Fortunately you didn't unmask me, but yes, that's me.

Because this is supposed to be Key Tweets. Bilas is doing Bilas things.

It's still fascinating there's been nothing firm from Arizona, let alone those, and we have multiple sources already confirming Oregon & Washington are going to the B1G

What incentive does the ACC have to add us. They do not have a forward thinking later like the Big 12.

Thamel - new one

Hopefully the ACC decides to add two schools to keep up with everyone else. They could offer us a half share until 2036 and we would jump at it. Potential partners would be WVU (doubtful) Tulane, SMU. ACC basketball could use a boost.

Actually UConn and USF would be better.

Are they interested in survival? Are you watching this carnage? I said it yesterday and it is still true, they should add UConn, Cal and Stanford right now. Unfortunately, ESPN would have to sign off on that.

It's irrelevant whether schools in a conference bring the per school payment or not -- just relevant for potential new additions.

ASU is a huge school, in a large and growing metropolis, who over time has had plenty of periods where they are above average on a P5 level in both hoops and pigskin. Am I hard pressed to make a case that, if we can be worth $30M to the XII, so could they? No, I am not hard pressed.

Every current P5 team the Big 12 adds is an automatic $33mish kicker.

UConn is not an automatic $33m.

This may prove to be an issue.

 

[zls44]

Well, its not like you can make FSU more upset, right? They're already talking their garbage anyway.

ESPN gives an automatic pro rata share for every P5 addition. Fox has to approve separately. Both ESPN and fox have indicated that they will treat the addition of Connecticut as if it were a P5 addition and give us a full share.

ACC adds UConn and USF to replace FSU? Throw in Memphis if you need another school.

He does know that the destruction of college athletics was orchestrated by his employer of over 25 years, right?! Seems a bit disingenuous, no?

lmfao they have?

[FfldCntyFan]

Yes, I'm a bit cranky at the moment on how things have transpired but I'm getting a bit pissed at the hoping for the ACC to come in and offer us a spot.

They are basically the HS girl who would bang almost anyone when she looked like this:

But there was one guy she wouldn't have anything ton so with until years later when she looked like this:

 

[CL82]

lmfao they have?

As per Yormark and the Baylor AD, yes, they have.

 

[ctchamps]

lmfao they have?

According to Yormark they have.

According to Yormark they have.

Got a quote there for the fan fiction?

 

[LoyalFanCT]

No, they won't. LOL... Because the conference is worse off without them. They'd have to pay MORE than the annual payout for the ACC to even consider it.

Not true. The automatic kicker for the B12 is only in the contract to get back to 14 teams right now (Colorado and Arizona). The automatic pro-rata in the contract for the B12 beyond 14 teams does not kick in until 2025 according to reports. Thus any additions beyond Colorado and Arizona are not an automatic pro-rate increase and need to be negotiated. In 2025, it will be automatic. Which is why there is likely negotiations needed with team 15 and 16 to get a reduced payout for a few years.
