Big 12 could be claiming the NCAA Basketball Championship 4 years running. Perhaps 5.
Is MHver3 having flashbacks because I don't see any hypothetical path being mentioned in the real world.

The Big 12 TV deal is $32 million. If UConn got 30% that would be $9.6 million compared to $7.3 million for Big East TV contract. Would UConn consider it? Especially if it provided 4 to 6 football games a year against Big 12 teams.

MHver3 is the bottom of the barrel in the conference realignment universe. He throws up anything to get attention. He makes the Dude look sane.Big 12 could be claiming the NCAA Basketball Championship 4 years running. Perhaps 5.

I don't think the university leadership and the governor would see enough value prop if it only doubled BE revenues. I think it would have to be at least 3x with a non-con FB scheduling agreement. At least.

The Big 12 has not vetted Oregon State or Washington State. The Big 12 composition committee has not met to consider new candidates since last year.

The fact is that ESPN and Fox have maxed out their allocations for Big 12 rights. They do not have unallocated resources to fund Big 12 expansion and will not until 2031.

The Big 12 will not risk harming its relationship with ESPN by expanding without ESPN's approval.

The only caveat to this is what happens to the ACC. ESPN would use funds allocated to ACC rights to move schools to the Big 12 should it be necessary. ESPN wouldn't be allocating new money. It would transferring money from the ACC to the Big 12.

ESPN and Fox have budgets. The money in their budgets for Big 12 rights has been maxed out. I don't expect them to reallocate resources to cover more expansion unless the ACC falls apart.

I'm not sure that is a much of an incentive unless there is a path to full membership. Keep in mind that the increase travel cost is likely $ 2M +
So double the BE TV contract would not entice UConn? FBS scheduling agreement with BIG 12 is better than what UConn has now.

As Pac2 continues talks with B12 on 2025 scheduling a pretty significant development on the ACC front emerges. B12 finally knows what the price tag will be to land FSU/Clemson. If you thought we were getting them with equal revenue sharing then you’ve not been paying attention

$75m per year each for conference revenue disbursement (tv monies, CFP monies, ncaa credits, etc).

Yes it’s high. Big12 can pay it in part with private equity (at least until the next tv deal comes around). Will adding them along with a couple of west coast schools and a few more ACC raise the tv profile enough to pay dividends to all members?

There are many things that need to be vetted and researched. But at least the price of admission is clear now. Tick. Tock.

Concurrently, I’m told the ACC was also made aware what the price tag was to keep FSU and Clemson. Surprise: it’s the same number. So there is a chance that the ACC could remain intact-it would come at a great cost to the other schools.

i used 20% to arrive at in excess of $20million for the B1G however it’s negotiable and if 30% is correct the Big 12 is in play I ruled them out at 20% because costs would
All sports except those not supported and football will go there .
Early season trips to Arizona for baseball , softball and golf are a no brainer. .

That's a really interesting comparison, thanks for posting @Kolumbo.
What struck me was how small Vanderbilt is stadium is, but hey, PAWSARF can at least compete with the smallest in the SEC, so at least there's some hope for us.

I assume UConn is in the mix for ACC and B12
The remaining teams would likely form a new league whose power status would depend on whether the SEC and B1G make moves. This would result in a very unstable league year after year. Basically Big East 2.0
It's highly unlikely that the BIG12's presidents, who now have a higher profile than in the last round, would be interested in UConn again. If Yormark had difficulty convincing them before, it would be even harder with schools like Louisville, Florida State, Clemson, NC State, Pitt, and possibly even BC in the mix.

No one wants BC. Not even the ACC.

If the ACC had any sense, they'd pull a mulligan, kick out BC, and taken UConn. But we know they aren't that intelligent even though they keep saying...
Oh grasshopper.
It is possible that someone will take BC, depends on their inside connections. They absolutely cannot be trusted. Cal and Stanford were taken to the ACC over the objections of FSU, Clemson, and I believe initially, UNC, because they had alumni as Presidents of other ACC schools, so therefore they had built in lobbyists. It could be the BC can have the same.

That really summarizes the whole realignment history for UConn in one non-key tweet. UConn is worthy of being invited and superior to all or most others... but let's take the others anyway.
We as husky fans have already run the models. Tell us something we don’t know. We’ve been saying that for years lol
