Message: [QUOTE="don356, post: 4018831, member: 5634"] My guess is the remaining 8 B12 schools shop the best alliance they can get $ wise because the blow to their established finances is to great. Probably their best fit is to affiliate with the AAC schools culturally and locality wise if they can convince tv partners to up everyone's game. They're not going to command what they had with Texas and Oklahoma, but as good as AAC football has been lately my guess is it's a more formidable football league than going west. Pac12 tv deals are not ideal either and with the added additions of teams who are not particularly big tv ratings players it won't help them that much. I read today where non Texas and Oklahoma games are not much different rating wise than AAC games. Cbs reported they would only get about 1/4 of what they get now in the current B12 contract. Big, big hit for schools who are used to having that money, and by the way may not get any buyout from the 2 leaving if they stay till 25.
