Today's Status Thurs 8/3/23??

[RSTuthill]

So, is it correct to say that:

1. The AZ BoR's have had one meeting and nothing has leaked?
2. It is hypothesized that they told both universities to come to agreement on a common course?
3. It is speculated that if both AZ and ASU decide they want the B12 then it is down to Utah and UConn for #16?
3a. If AZ and ASU do not leave the P12 then it is likely that it will hold together unless the B1G steps in and pulls it apart?
4. The P12 media package details are STILL not known publicly?
5. Clemson and FSU are still in play to leave the ACC by paying huge exit fees, exact destination still very much up in the air (B1G or SEC)?
6. There may be another AZ BoR's meeting soon, perhaps even today?
7. OR, WA, Stanford, and Cal may or may not be talking to the B1G?

Is this correct? Anything to add?

All you need to know is that Arizona and Arizona State are likely going to be announced to the Big XII within the next week and that we are probably going to lose out on the 16th spot to Utah.

Everything else is irrelevant to us

The last AZ board meeting had nothing to do with realignment.

They are meeting tonight to discuss realignment in an Executive Session.

And so far Utah has not made an announcement. Which is key to support the theory UConn is in.

This seems pretty simple at this point: UA and ASU are in, whichever of Utah or UConn announces a board meeting first is the lucky winner for spot 16.

 

[hoopsfan22]

Status: still in the Big East.

I believe UConn already did this.

 

[kemba]

I believe UConn already did this.

Wouldn’t that be public knowledge?

 

[Stinger92860]

I think the decision by UConn has been made. It needs to be reciprocal.

 

[auggie22]

I think it is UCONN if one or both of AZ schools stay in P12. I think it is Utah if both of the AZ teams opt to move to B12. I think we are likely to see a board meeting pop for either UT or CT shortly after the AZ meeting tonight.

 

[Tyler2Rings]

So who is on our side regarding B12? We know Yormark wants us. I have to imagine ESPN does too, as we are currently a FOX/CBSS property. FOX may be lukewarm, but the deal can be structured to reduce our initial payout and save them the difference in what they pay us now.

If 6 of the 12 presidents prefer UConn to Utah, you'd think it would be a home run

 

[gioff2323]

Uncle. We’ve a key tweets thread w/few tweets, a non-key tweets thread, which is essentially a repeat of key tweets, and now we’re going to have both a daily thread and a future thread.

No. A place to state the current status without reading 1,000 posts. Some of us have a life beyond this board.

Sounds like in 2037 we'll be joining BCU and Upstate NY in the new AAC

I really don't think that the Big 12 wants both AZ schools. That redundancy isn't going to add value. The same goes with Utah. The 12 already has BYU.

I think the AZ BOR is pushing for both schools, but I don't think they will get both in. Just my two cents

I hope not, because just one getting in kills our shot just as effectively as all of Arizona, Arizona State and Utah getting in

 

[ZooCougar]

Do we need another thread for this?

 

[Urcea]

can only parse through so many pages of "Is Ames a real place?" and college president/political dynamics to find real info lol

 

[RSTuthill]

This is NOT a thread for discussion. It is a summary of status. All we need is yes it is correct, or no, something needs to be added or corrected. Sheesh!!

Well, the Big 12 will most likely go to 16 or 20 at this point.

14 is not optimal for scheduling purposes. It's a fire sale, so right now everyone is going to fill their baskets.

I think UConn will be there too

The complexities make everything unpredictable. I think there may be a very strong argument that the Arizona schools combined are greater than the sum of their parts. Taking both Pheonix and Tucson, the rivalry, perhaps adds much more value than taking one. ASU has some value over Arizona, in my opinion.

I like the daily update thread idea.

I see that point too, but if the goal of the 12 is to increase or expand media rights, then I think they would avoid redundancy and branch off to states they're currently not in. Just my guess

Washington Board of Trustees Special Meeting - tonight at 9pm Arizona time. Executive Session only.

Meh, I think mostly you just like creating threads.

So far, the most salient topic unique to this thread is whether this thread needed to be its own thread.

Unless BYU pulls a BC
