OT: UConn talks to Pac-12 for FB only membership

FSU and Clemson are insisting the GOR be cut back to 2030 in this arrangement, which is also the same year the B1G media contract ends
Interesting. Where did you see this?
 
How Pac-12 could still lure AAC schools to rebuilt conference | Mailbag

"Let's say there's a school that would send shockwaves across college sports by deciding to join the Pac-12. Assuming this school is a powerhouse in at least one major sport, what would be the benefit to join? - @CelestialMosh

You are undoubtedly referring to Oregon State coach Wayne Tinkle's comment to John Canzano's Bald Faced Truth radio show that the Pac-12 was "24 hours" from landing a school that would send "shockwaves" through the industry.

Tinkle didn't name names, but we assume he meant Connecticut."

You missed the most important line in the article:

”We have no doubt the Pac-12 was in communication with UConn — in fact, sources confirmed as much — but were the Huskies on the brink of joining? Consider us skeptical.”

"Also, take what coaches say about realignment with a hefty dose of skepticism. They are often the last to know." or......

I didn't miss it, I'm just full of hopium

In the realignment world October 2024 might as well be 1076. Things just change so dramatically over night it seems.
 
I had figured Stanford or Cali said this Acc idea isn’t working let’s go back and try to make the Pac12 something
 
Has the PAC’s media deal been finalized yet? That I would expect, will potentially drive others interest. If it is $10-15 million each, there will be a different level of interest than if it is $2 million. I don’t know that it will be any of those. Just examples. But I would expect a couple of MW teams will look again as will Memphis and maybe us, I read somewhere $10 million each for football plus additional for basketball bringing g the whole deal into the $14 million range. But I have no idea that’s accurate.

But I would expect a couple of MW teams will look again as will Memphis and maybe us, too if we can get $5 million for football with modest or no buyout
 
"Playing these schools on the Atlantic Coast is really expensive. What if we formed a conference of teams on the Pacific Coast?"
It will take more than a year to reach that point but. I could see it being reached at some point. There are a few problems though. One is money. Buy outs and all that. The other is prestige. Stanford and Cal would much prefer to be associated with UNC, Duke and Virginia. Not exactly their peers since in their views those are Harvard, Yale and Princeton, but certainly better than San Diego State! It was one thing to be dealing with Washington State as Washington’s pesky little brother, but as an equal? EE gawds!
