Same thing happens at Texas Tech's stadium.
To be clear that agenda is from Washington State... the Colorado board is just posting the material from the tweet above.
Nah.. Colorado simply wouldn't sign the Pac-12 GOR as they were already headed to the Big XII. If Colorado were to sign the Pac-12 GOR.. then that would be disappointing.. but no egg on UConn's face. They did what they needed to do for the school, the opportunity went away, but the school pursuing any and all opportunity is a must do, so no egg even if it doesn't work out. Unless they had already painted the Big XII logo on the court at Gampel.
Keep in mind UConn went public and all out and now the BIG EAST is going to double down on exit fees etc... would they create a GOR to protect themselves? Next time around should it come won't be so easy... especially depending on how far out it is.
When the next BE media contract negotiations begin there is an exceptionally strong likelyhood that the broadcast partner (Fox, others if we put it out to bid) will want this (and also provide an alternate, lesser offer for no GOR). It would be up to us, individually to agree and sign or disagree and face whatever may happen next (I'm confident we are by far the most important school as far as the media is concerned).
The Big East already doubled down on UConn's exit fees as part of the deal to join. The increased exit fees were designed to ferret out any of the Catholics (Villanova, St. John's, etc) who might have been thinking of that "basketball only" eastern wing that was floated out there. Like FfldCntyFan noted, it's almost certain that the broadcast partner will ask for a GOR and pretty certain that UConn will resist signing it if it thinks there is any chance they can get out.
Yes. And on the student side and the UConn side. All three.
IIRC, a few years ago they had a plan to make a party deck next to the video board. It never happened, I think Nostical put the kibosh on it.
Pretty sure the ACC payouts do escalate on the back end of their deal - for the last decade or less.
CBS would have to pay us $20,000,000 per year for football to get us to sign a 10 year GOR. Not happening.
Yeah this probably screws us.
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. We need Colorado to move. The two AZ schools too, fine. Just need Utah to stay. If nobody moves UConn isn't going anywhere. There is no Big XII expansion without Pac12 teams.
. 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.
Sounds like they're smart fans.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
Yeah but if Colorado AND AZ but not ASU leave, which seems likely, then we’re out.
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.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
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.
