Meant to put this here..Anyone check out CU's message board on realignment? theirs started ALLLL the way back when USC and UCLA left . They seem very against the BIG12 that they are above it academically and athletically. A lot of mentions of the BIG10, actually...not that surprised they are against the BIG12... its not really a cultural or academic fit for them. Can't say UW, Cal, Stanford etc have a lot in common with WVU, KSU, OSU etc. They would fit in well with our BBall only group.

That’s what they said when they left the Big 12. But let’s not kid ourselves. Other than Cal, Stanford and maybe Washington there’s no elite academic school let in the Pac12 either. It’s wanna-be elitism and isn’t deserved.

If that offer is real not only are we screwed on not having an invitation to join the B-12, we can give up on the idea of any real increase coming with the next BE media contract

Disagree. No money no signee is good for us. We were never going alone and this brings us back to CU UConn AZ and possibly SDSU or any other defector(s). If CU is ready to pull the trigger then take us both and pick the next 2. AZ probably has a ticket promised already so no hurry for them.

They PAC may have a GOR signing deadline soon. UConn may have an increased exit fee deadline. If the b12 does not act now they could done for a while Or they can focus on SDSU and UNLV in the west and Temple or UMass in the east.

No one is signing a GOR without seeing any numbers.

I thought our exit fee does nothing but decline over time?

I believe we have 3 more years before the exit fee for the Big East will drop to $15M. Also, the Big East is discussing raising the exit fee in a recent meeting. I doubt the Big East will raise the exit fee for current members beyond $30M, but it is possible. If other schools have no desire to leave, they can raise to $50M just to extract some more out of UConn for an example.

Big 12 needs to act before the Big East raise the exit fee beyond $30M.

There still is a deadline for GOR, date TBD. If they don‘t sign, then no deadline for realignment decision, but a decision must be made at some point.

I was thinking this as well. The little catholic schools outnumber us and could make the exit fee $100 million if they want. What are we and our one vote going to do about it?

I haven't seen anyone anywhere verify that the BE was meeting to change the exit fee. There was a single tweet by an anonymous account stating that.

The guy in the St. Louis outfit isn’t very knowledgeable. Kinda spewing same old same old. Nothing new

These guys are wrong on every point. The B1G made no money on RU addition? They're terrible.

Does the Big East really think dragging their most valuable product is good for the league? That wouldn't end well for either side.

They really are. Both hosts are uninformed, and mentioned having to go to Storrs Connecticut for a football game. Then they called Louisville “UCONN on steroids.” What a joke trying to compare the two basketball programs.

Any Bozo can sit at their table talking to a friend, put it online and call it a podcast. Consumers have to decide who is worth listening to and who is worth responding to. These guys are neither. They seem to be analyzing at the level of a 8 year old, focusing solely on quality of play and ignoring markets, money and stability, much less strategy.

Hence Non-Key.... it is incredible how many people have no idea about the world of conference realignment. It could also be that we have had to become well-versed since we have been living a nightmare since 2011.

Ugh.

Don't get worried Urcea. We aren't getting bumped for Memphis.

Kind of puts a damper on his UConn visits. Memphis?

Yeah it seems like CU and Arizona are pretty much locks and we’re still in the same stage as Memphis/SDSU. That sucks.

Maybe something isn't working out with one of the 4 corners and they want to fill a spot. Stay positive, other news isn't always bad, it's just other news.

 

[jostar1]

A partner for UConn? Maybe he's getting the sense that the Pac 12 schools aren't leaving.

Absolutely worried Urcea is the worst kind of Urcea.
