Message: [QUOTE="CAtlantic, post: 4352801, member: 11388"] MH ver3@MH ver3 · 5h Baylor Athletic Director Mack Rhoades: "If you don’t act, you’re going to get acted upon. Right now, the Big 12, we’re in this process of trying to act rather than the opposite." MH ver3@MH ver3 · 5h Big12 quietly approaching full consensus on drafting and signing their next GOR. Trying to get out in front of things early and lock up the 12 we have. Yormark is making it a top priority for when he takes over. All 12 are on board to sign. MH ver3@MH ver3 · 5h Length will be 7 years with an option to extend it based on length of next tv deal. Obviously B12 is shooting for a 7 year deal. (Would go to market again before the next ACC deal). MH ver3@MH ver3 · 5h Just heard that one proposal the PAC is looking at with their uneven distribution model is to distribute playoff money unequally yearly and staggeringly unequally if one of their teams makes the playoff. MH ver3@MH ver3 · 4h Starting to get a few reports from Colorado’s meeting. Cannot confirm yet if they decided to officially seek out B12 membership but I did get a nice tidbit of claims being made that Washington and Oregon are holding the entire conference hostage right now. MH ver3@MH ver3 · 4h Colorado has still not made a decision on applying for B12 membership. They will meet again on Friday (so I’m told). MH ver3@MH ver3 · 4h Colorado very unhappy with unequal revenue sharing. Looks like it’s the only way Washington and Oregon are agreeing to stay in the conference and not entertain offers from B12 or ACC(!). MH ver3@MH ver3 · 4h Interesting that Washington/Oregon are making it widely known to conference brethren that they have been talking to ACC and B12 and using that to further their own ends. MH ver3@MH ver3 · 4h Colorado doesn’t even know where Cal and Stanford truly stand and what their real plan is because so far communication has been lackluster with them. Colorado feels like they are on an island and being pushed out. MH ver3@MH ver3 · 4h ACC made a play for Washington/Oregon/Stanford/Cal and was shot down. No proof of it but Colorado AD said it has been implied. MH ver3@MH ver3 · 4h ACC hoped that by getting Stanford it would compel ND to join. ACC has special deal with espn to add those 4 at prorata even though it wasn’t built into the contract. ORWA balked because they stand to make more from an uneven distribution model-even if PAC has 2-4 more defections MH ver3@MH ver3 · 4h ORWA also balked at being locked into the ACC GOR through 2036. MH ver3@MH ver3 · 4h ORWA was on board for a B12 merger provided it came with no GOR and allowed for PAC to control the distribution model for their teams until a new tv deal was reached for all. MH ver3@MH ver3 · 4h The merger would’ve allowed TX/OK/USC/UCLA early outs, Big12 to take control of Pac12 networks and Espn/Fox would honor remainder of Pac12 contract and extend it out until the new entity could negotiate a new deal MH ver3@MH ver3 · 3h Still haven’t gotten confirmation or info of the possible meetings for Utah and AZ… [/QUOTE]
