New PAC-12 Forming

Why didn't we push for a football only agreement again?

Absolutely. I think we should pursue a football-only membership to bring some stability to our scheduling until a better option becomes available. Taking 4–5 long trips each year is manageable, and we could secure a significantly better media deal for football. If we include a few basketball games, it could also make sense for the PAC-12.

I'm not saying no. I am saying "out clause"

The terms of that must have been something awful.

Or they feel like there are other potential opportunities and the Pac 12 wanted to lock them in. Probably a bit of both.

The PAC 12 has struck out so many times. The word is everything is heavily slanted to OSU and WSU. They are nuts.
 
The PAC probably wanted something like full membership and $15 mill per year but UConn didn't want to pay that much. :D

They still need one more sucker to join and support OSU and WSU

That's what I've been reading. It's sounds like the opposite of when Uconn, Cincy and USF reformed the Big East/American. When it seemed like Aresco did everything not to offend the new additions, While almost forgetting who the 3 schools were that had the $100 mil+ in exit fees. ;)

Because he knew they had 100 million and exit fees and weren't about to forfeit that. He failed to adapt, however, as the exit fees ran out, and those schools had virtually no incentive to stay.

To be fair to Aresco though, conferences were always about equal revenue. In today's climate maybe the Charlottes and FAUs get a reduced payout. Nobody is going to stay in the AAC if they get a P4 offer, and it looks like they may prefer the AAC to the PAC 12.

Agree. I'm just thinking about how he gave away our tier 3 rights. Granted, we were the only program that mattered for, because of women's basketball, but I feel like he should've carved out an exemption for us. If I recall correctly, he had a number of statements, dismissing UConn and its importance to the conference. There's a life lesson in that. You should placate your most valuable property, not denigrate it.

Yep at numerous turns that was my recollection regarding Aresco too. So as soon as Uconn ( and Cincy, a P-5 lucky them) had an option they collected their share of exit fees ( UConn, gets $30 MIL , over a 6 year pay out, IIRC) and hit the road.

Seeing how Wazzu & Oregon State home matchups got a split deal including a couple of CBS & ESPN games. I wonder if it's something DB will be looking at for a future Indy TV deal ? Especially say in 2027 with higher national value P-4 games, UNC, Ole Miss and Cuse ( + Army ?) scheduled for the RENT.

Charlotte and FAU did get a reduced payout. The legacy AAC teams (Temple, ECU, Memphis, etc) kept their full payout amounts, while the new teams (Charlotte, FAU, UAB, Rice, North Texas, UTSA) took half shares. Essentially to keep their old payout they had to add inventory, squeezing 6 new teams into 3 open spots and making them share the 3 "full shares"
 
Wolken back with his Memphis to the PAC/BE stuff again, he said back in SEPT that Memphis and the BE had talks.
 
I'd rather keep the double round robin instead of adding Memphis unless the additional money was substantial.

While I agree wasn’t there a rumor that the CBB season may expand by 2-4 regular season games in the near future? If so, you can keep a double round robin with 12. That’s a big IF though. We also just saw the ACC reduce conference games from 20 to 18 but I think that’s more because of travel and their bottom tier teams are awful/drag down strength of schedule.
 
memphis?
