Message: [QUOTE="jostar1, post: 4557213, member: 1737"] MH ver3@MHv er3 · 20h B12 to meet with 6 PAC schools over the coming days. MH ver3@MH ver3 · 17h PAC is now looking at expanding by four because they fully expect to lose at least 2 schools in the near term. Possibly 2. MH ver3@MH ver3 · 17h GK thinks Colorado and Arizona are the most likely to leave. MH ver3@MH ver3 · 17h Apple negotiations may require PACN to be absorbed by Apple. All broadcasting capitol and Human Resources. This would be reflected in an increase to $26m per school but also requires ORWA stay and a presence in Colorado and SoCal (hence CSU talks starting). MH ver3@MH ver3 · 17h 6 PAC schools meeting with B12 over the next few days to review financial information and media projections. MH ver3@MH ver3 · 17h OR/WA/CO/Utah/AZ/AZsU all having talks. ORWA thought to be mostly just an official look in. MH ver3@MH ver3 · 17h B12 may only be interested in 2. 4 at the most. Would not take all 6. MH ver3@MH ver3 · 17h Gonzaga and Villanova deep now in talks to join for basketball as Yormark will negotiate basketball separately in the next deal. MH ver3@MH ver3 · 17h Nova has emerged as the favorite in the east after talks with UConn broke down due to UConn insisting on an all sports invite at a much reduced share. MHv er3@MH ver3 · 17h TBS highly interested in B12 basketball in 2030 and will pay a premium if they cannot get what they want from next NBA deal-something to keep an eye on. MH ver3@MH ver3 · 15h Just heard that one Pac President told B12 leadership that they feel like GK is holding the conference hostage with the Apple negotiations. All schools are afraid to make the first move with so many uncertainties in play. MH ver3@MH ver3 · 15h If Big12 can get a solid commitment from FOX or get a 3rd partner give a solid commitment for pro rata on the remaining 33% they can get at least 2 PAC schools in short order MH ver3@MH ver3 · 15h Fox may be gun shy to offer that firm commitment prior to B12 adding because they are afraid of a lawsuit since they’ve already been implicated with USC/UCLA defections. MH ver3@MH ver3 · 1h BY met with 2 P12 presidents in the past 24 hours. Both meetings were incredibly productive. I’m told we are very close to at least 1 of those 2 making a formal request. Still 4 more presidents to meet with over the next few days. MH ver3@MH ver3 · 1h BY possibly has a 3rd media partner on board if Fox is a no go for adding $ for new additions. No $$ yet from the new partner-very early in talks [/QUOTE]
