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

You have no idea what Yormarks strategy is. You only know what’s he’s said, not what he believes or wants.

News flash: people behave strategically. Folks understand this about every other situation, but when it comes to sports, fans suddenly believe everyone is telling 100% truth.

You're not wrong, but it's reasonable to project people strategy based upon their statements and actions.

What the hell does he know?

I'm going through key tweet withdrawal. I need a key tweet to show up like right now!

The ball is at the goal line. I don't know what down it is. I don't know how much time is on the clock. But the ball is there and hopefully they can engineer the touchdown.

Just prepare yourself for this to happen to us. Again.

Deleted. What was it? Maybe the account updated it

Tweet unavailable. Who/what was this?

He’s just such a down to earth, good guy. Regardless of how this turns out I feel lucky we landed such a class act.

We were probably invited, but then it was quickly rescinded after a Tramel tweet

My theory, GK was hired because schools wanted this conference to fall apart.

GK: "We have an offer for $1.75 to air our games on QVC 2."

Reminds me of the whole Fred Smith FedEx thing. These guys ain't spending their billions to prop up a whole conference.

The numbers were bad, then Colorado left, the numbers must be even worse now. So this feels like a funeral for the Pac12.

It's showtime.

Or snowtime......

I have heard rumors they are worse than you all think. Considerably less than what they are making now and not guaranteed but based on viewership.

 

[uconndogs]

The BiG is eventually going after some combination of Cal, Stanford, Oregon and UW. If you believe that, then what’s left?

They will be asking fans to remember to turn on all screens - all screens people! get them on. You're not a fan if you don't find a way to get 10 screens going for each PAC game (and coming all conferences everywhere in 2030!)

LOL. We will be left behind so the XII can take teams whose games don't bring enough national interest that they can make any money televising them. Brilliant.

I haven’t thought the Big10 will take Stanford and Cal for a long time. They just don’t move the needle for their contract. Washington and Oregon come close and USCLA need travel partners.

I have also thought that FSU was a serious candidate for the Big10 if they could get out of their GOR. Clemson would be a huge surprise for me, though.

Definitely! I'm not very good, but if you explain the rules to me I will do OK.

FWIW - Utah has not contacted the Big 12.

Anything change on your end? You still hearing good things for us?

The expectation is Colorado/Arizona/UConn/ASU

Stanford and Cal probably only get in if they're a package deal with Notre Dame

Utah getting shafted by BYU is so ironic
