Message: [QUOTE="Chuck, post: 4699657, member: 1646"] I think it also shows a bias. They WANT the PAC to fail. I don't know if that is the narrative pushed on them by their parent (who could be directly or indirectly involved in PAC or Big 12 deals), or if it's just to get clicks. Either way, asking "what are we even doing here" is juvenile. It's a football media day, not a realignment or media deal meeting. I personally believe nobody knows what is going on with the PAC or B12. And nobody SHOULD know. If real information was leaked, it's a breach of duty and the schools/conferences would look to crush the leaker. Unless they were deliberately leaking info. I don't believe the PAC's lack of a deal is indicative of getting a bad deal. In general, if a deal gets done quickly / early, it's because the sides are perfectly in tune with each other (rare) or more commonly it's because someone blinked early. Taken at face value, the PAC could be getting consistently increased offers over time. At some point, they'll need to bite, but maybe not yet. But I don't agree that the lack of movement is indicative of anything either. If the players that could jump believe they can jump whenever they want, it would be smart to wait and see. The only reason to jump early would be if you believe that someone else can steal your spot. Colorado, AZ, ASU might feel totally comfortable with the position they have with the B12. In summary, I can imagine a million different things going on. Someone is going to have predicted it correctly, but it will probably be through luck, not skill or inside information. [/QUOTE]
