Message: [QUOTE="CAtlantic, post: 4351710, member: 11388"] MH ver3@MH ver3 · 33m I have not heard that talks were completely dead but if B12 pulled the plug on them then that’s bad news for wazzu and the beav. That means B12 is going to carve up the PAC and take the best. MH ver3@MH ver3 · 21m Called my source. (I’m on a mini vacation right now so I haven’t been doing a lot of talking with him the past few days). Talks are indeed dead for a merger.A few tidbits I did get: MH ver3@MH ver3 · 22m Replying to @MH ver3 B12 held all the cards. MH ver3@MH ver3 · 22m Media $$ just wasn’t there to justify a full merger. MH ver3@MH ver3 · 22m My source fully expects at least 2 schools to get an offer from B12 by the end of the first week of August. AZ and Colorado are the ones most likely. MH ver3@MH ver3 · 22m B12 could invite 4-6 in total depending on what happens and how it happens. But my source is pretty confident we at least invite those 2. MH ver3@MH ver3 · 22m Those 2 with their tv markets will increase the payout per school. Adding Utah and AZSU are revenue negative/neutral but… MH ver3@MH ver3 · 23m Adding those two with Washington/Oregon make the entire 6 revenue positive for all so literally the ball will be in their court. MH ver3@MH ver3 · 23m If WA/OR balk then we may take the other 2 anyway, take the slight hit in revenue, and then WA/OR are stuck until ACC/B1G get around to maybe offering them. SawyerBrown94@RChalk94 · 5m Replying to @MH ver3 So what’s the plan for Washington State, Oregon State, Cal and Stanford??? If I was their leadership things look pretty bleak now MH ver3@MH ver3 · 4m I’ve heard Stanford may forge independent. Cal may drop football, some D1 sports/all D1 sports (no one really knows). And MWC may get picked clean. MH ver3@MH ver3 · 14m The way things have been moving, Colorado might announce earlier than AZ and may even do it before the PAC/espn negotiating window closes…allegedly all it will take is a formal offer from B12. MH ver3@MH ver3 · 7m But don’t look for any official invitations to come until Yormark officially takes office. Bowlsby has pretty much said as much. MH ver3@MH ver3 · 4m MWC won’t be a winner with no B12/PAC merger. PAC will gut MWC because they would still have autonomy and have the brand name. Maybe they will work out a merger ‍♂️ MH ver3@MH ver3 · 3m Don’t be shocked if OR/WA stay put and just backfill the PAC-to-B12 defections with MWC and does some type of unequal revenue sharing while they hope for an invite from B1G. Allan@Allan_Janus ·3m Replying to @MH ver3 Does AZ try and drag it’s feet so that ASU can come as well, or is that line of thinking gone now as other states haven’t show that type of loyalty? MH ver3@MH ver3 · 1m Not sure. AZ was valued out as the more lucrative option despite AZSU superior football team and ratings. I’m not really sure why honestly. I want them both to come. [/QUOTE]
