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

You'd figure 2.2m eyeballs plus the B2B men's champions and 3.6m viewers all to ourselves either inside or right next to the earth's greatest TV market would be of value to someone somewhere.

Anyone?

Fine we will take 20 million to join the Sec to start. ESPN and UConn just has to sign the papers. We get an extra 10 million a year till we reach the full amount.

Hmmm, I wonder what the discussion was about that day in class? Anyone?

Oh, never mind.

I'm guessing it wasn't a MasterClass in the use of disproportionate bargaining power to achieve unilateral concession in negotiation. That's the kind of thing that's so sophisticated most people miss it.

What may seem like leverage sometimes just ends up in mutual destruction.

I guess. Other times it's demonstrably successful. Seeing whether people are willing to acknowledge it becomes an interesting litmus test of integrity.

The problem, as it has been in the past, is that our moving does more harm to one of Fox’s properties than it benefits another.

We’re a fancy, fancy centerpiece on the kid’s table.

That makes sense. Interesting NIU still has wrestling in 2025.

Good move by them. Those mid-week MACtion games in November are absolutely brutal. I can’t imagine attending a football game on Tuesday or Wednesday evening in November. That is a too steep of a price to pay to have your games on TV.

Cal Baptist was the only remaining private west coast school should the WCC want to go to 10 teams (or replace St Mary's if the PAC takes them, which I'm doubting). Also wondering if this will be the death of the WAC. Would only leave them with 2 schools in Utah, 3 schools in Texas, and no obvious path forward to adding other current D1 schools.

That is spectacularly non key. If you are a podcaster and are going to make stuff up, might as well go big.

Interesting in that it's not that usual vague non-quantifiable language. Tomorrow morning he'll be right or he'll be wrong.

For what it's worth, I don't see how, say FSU, joining a new super league causes its current GOR not to be effective. I guess, and I'm just spitballing here, if they were to say they are no longer offering college football (this making their existing GOR worthless) and instead are having an FSU affiliated semi pro football team that is a fully separate entity? If schools are going to be paying players directly in any event, maybe this makes some sense?

I saw that too and I'm a sucker for anything CR related. "substantive conversations." sure, talk is cheap. Flugaur actually replied to Monty.

But at least it’s a tweet.

91.22% to the Men for football and basketball
04.39% to the Women for basketball
04.39% to other remaining sports

Considering UGA’s women’s basketball team is one of the worst in the country I’d say that’s a good deal for them

I'm sure $900,000 will help them improve significantly. I'm curious how women in college will receive this disparity and if Title IX comes into play. You figure at least 94% of total wages are being paid to men. It seems a little skewed.

"The number of athletes will drop but scholarships will go up."

It's a good thing the "student athlete" is top of mind in all this. For a while I thought it was all about the money...........

Well this admin has already said they don't care but that doesn't stop lawsuits brought by the athletes

My real impression is the differential resources question has largely sailed in the 1990s and things only happen if the disparity is ridiculous
