PAC-12 Chaos

[UConnJim]

Based on the rumors, the deal sounds untraditional with incentives. And, some people are probably not ready for a streaming future. Thus, I can see why some schools would need to think about it even if there is potential to make good money.

It sounds like a gamble for the Big 12....low guaranteed salary plus an uncertain commission.

 

[ZooCougar]

Yeah so I don’t think Oregon is angling for the Big 12. Dan Lanning fires shot at Colorado Buffaloes after Pac-12 exit

Just spitballing here. For a relatively small investment, Apple could funnel some NIL funds into the PAC 12 and buy some star power. Sort of like how MLS and Apple did with Messi. Although this would be much cheaper.

In 15 minutes.... anyone going to dabble?

The Arizona Board of Regents meeting has nothing to do with the media deal or conference realignment. The sole item on the agenda is a review of assignments with Arizona Board of Regents Executive Director John Arnold. They just stated this in the livestream and said that they are adjourning in 30 minutes.

After all this, if UConn isnt invited in the next few days, it's because the Presidents have already noted they are inclined against them.

Why are UConn fans celebrating an outcome that is bad for UConn?

This deal is horrific. The value could increase based on subscribers? The schools are still responsible for production costs because Apple is just streaming, not producing the games. How any PAC school could look at this and sign off on it is crazy. If Utah wasn't an option the Big 12 fully considered, you can bet the Utes will be banging down Yormack's door if this deal is true. This is worst case scenario for us. We needed either the deal to be good and Arizona stays pat, or it tombe so-so and UA and ASU decide to leave and we come as #16.

It’s good to have a UCF basketball fan onboard!!

We don’t have 40,000 students on our main campus and our fan base is small, just look at our football attendance. We’re not playing in a 80,000 seat stadium, heck we don’t even get anywhere near 60,000. It stinks, but those are the numbers.

UConn football won 11 conference games in 5-6 seasons lost to FCS school and your blaming the fanbase
The one year we won 4 -5 league games I r all the Houston game ring sold out 2-3 winning season and attendance with double 10 win season and it will be an impossible ticket to buy

Iirc they are already covering most production costs due to the the PAC 12 network.

Talking a lot of smack for someone that is banking on money from a tv network that may not exist in 5 years.

UCLA’s Big Ten Conference move is just a year away

Members of the athletic department at UCLA, which joins the conference Aug. 2, 2024, have been meeting with Big Ten officials about the process since last year.

You

Posting a tweet is celebrating? Hope is still the rest of the PAC schools stick together. Value their academic consortium more than minor differences in TV dollars.

This is actually might be good news for UConn.

The conceived plan as reported to us (from various sources and from the general gist) was either Colorado and UConn or (preferably) Colorado, Arizona, Arizona State, and UConn. The one possible stopping point was Colorado and Arizona, but Arizona State and the rest hold with the Pac-8 leaving no UConn (for the moment).

UConn is step one of the BY plan to incorporate Eastern basketball. As UConn is the only Big East team with football, it needs to be brought in with an odd pairing. The second part (or third if the ACC blows apart) of the plan is to incorporate St. Johns and Villanova as non-football members (and with the 3 teams or more travel costs can be somewhat contained for the non-football members in the nonrevenue sport schedules). But without UConn you lose the biggest brand to go with the larger markets and you lose some of the appeal for the Catholics to leave.

 

[Patman]

the odd number game was always our game.

nelson, you know better, you knew the solution would come out of chaos. You know this situation is at the edge of the knife.
