Hypothetically you believe Utah is tied to the hip with the Arizona's yet nothing actually factual suggests that. And yes, if your aunt had testicles, she would be your uncle.

Sadly, I am a New York Jets fan. If I believed the media, and I actually chose to, I was convinced Dalvin Cook was going to sign with Jets when he visited Sunday. Turns out he left without a deal. Why? Because he was trying to use them as levarage for a better deal with the Dolphins. He never intended to sign. So many on here and on twitter are saying Yormark is playing the Pac 12. Maybe its the other way around. Maybe the Pac 12 is Dalvin Cook and Yormark and Big 12 are the New York Jets. Maybe they are the ones being used.

Don't you think it's possible that Cook wanted a contract above what the current environment warrants (but at a level he believes he deserves) and would have signed with the Jets if they offered what would under different circumstances appear to be a fair price but in today's NFL is $4+ million a year more than the market now dictates?

This is an ideal segue as the PAC's current situation does parallel quality running backs in the NFL. They can look around at quality players at DL, CB, WR (all historically of lesser importance than a running back) getting contracts of $18 million, $20 million, $22 million, $24 million annually while the top running backs in the game (pre-existing contracts excluded) are being capped at ~$11 million a year.

The remaining members of the P-12 can complain all they want about being better brands, a better product, whatever than the B-12. If it was going to land them a similar contract to what the B-12 has it would have happened months ago.

You said it better than me. I think all those things. Just like how I believe Dalvin Cook truly wants to be a Dolphin, I think the remaining Pac 12 schools want to stay together. This is all noise in their attempt to have Apple sweeten the pot. Apple undoubtedly will have to if they really want this. If they don't, well, then the Pac 12 is dead.

In before its tweeted. My guess is in 72 hours, the Pac 9 stays in tact, adds 1-3 schools, FSU is stuck in ACC purgatory, and UConn joins Colorado in the Big 12.

I get excited until I see who posted this

Something Big12 presidents consider if they're thinking strategically.

"Most of the population live in the USA Time Zone of EST. Around 47.6% of people live in EST of the USA Time Zone. In the USA Time Zone of CST, 29.1% of people stay. In MST, 6.7% and PST 16.6% of people live in those USA Time Zones."

As a former teacher of English as a Foreign Language I would consider that a B- effort for an intermediate student.

It is now unlikely the Big 12 will add UConn unless something unexpected happens. ACC is going to need members, UConn would fit in there nicely
 
If the Pac had a deal like their current deal, none of the 9 would be talking about leaving now. My beliefs.
  • Oregon and Washington want to go to the B1G. They hate the idea of the Big 12. Do they hate it more than the Pac with the Apple deal? That's the question.
  • UA, ASU and Utah want to stay, even though they don't like the deal. However, the fear of the B1G taking Washington and Oregon is so great that they may elect to take the Big XII deal and mitigate that risk.
  • Stanford and Cal are stoned out of their mind somewhere. They are completely at the mercy of what others do and are acting like it. They have some hope they will land on their feet.
  • Oregon State and WSU are like Cal and Stanford, but aren't rich, can't afford good weed so are in a state of mortal terror as they look at being in a glorified MWC making about $10m a year.
It all comes down to Washington and Oregon. If they commit to the Pac, it probably keeps everyone. If the reports of about a half share from the B1G are true, they may just stay.

But the leaks around Arizona/ASU predates that about Oregon/Washington and seems to be moving along faster. That could be simply twitter perception to be sure.

Duh. But you do get 2-3 Kansas/UConn games which is likely equal to BYU/Utah
Expand ...

Not equal. One matchup is national level the other is State focused. Without looking it up, when did BYU/Utah play and who won?
 
Is it good or bad that AD Dave is listening to this twitter spaces?

Oregon and Washington were vetted when USC/UCLA left. Everyone knows that. The McMurphy tweet shows it. They were coming eventually, but the B1G wanted to wait and integrate the LA schools. So the AZ schools know the Pac is doomed, and then they saw the crap TV deal and now it is clear just how doomed it is. Because that is with Washington and Oregon.

So this is the 'coast to coast' basketball conference? Between the 4 schools, there is 1 good football team and 1 good basketball team. It will be spun as a victory, but it would be a pathetic outcome.

You went from 0 schools in Utah to 2 schools in Utah! Crack the O’Douls and get weird!

Its really not likely equal to that. I wish it was, but football rates drastically higher.

I found in 2019, BYU-Utah had an audience of about 1.6 million on ESPN. The top rated basketball game that year was UNC-Duke (also ESPN) which pulled in 2.6 million. People just can't get enough of football.

As hopeful as I’ve been, I’m now at the point that barring a miracle I think we’re OUT this round.
 
I love how in all articles on B1G expansion with more PAC-12 teams, its insistent on only if the PAC-12 loses more schools to the Big 12, which is in all likelihood happening and the B1G knows it. The B1G is made out to look like a hero for rescuing these schools, when it was in fact the B1G that ultimately kills off the PAC-12. Such a great PR move!

I have to imagine anyone who follows this stuff knows they're the villains.
