Pac 12... 11... 10... 9... 8... 7...6...5...4... POOF!

I'm only messing with ya. The real disrespect is from the conference. It'll be a shame when Washington and Oregon leave. They were founding members back in 1915.

 

If it gets a TV deal done, I'm fine with it. The big problem the Pac 12 has right now is that having LA as a major media market was a pretty significant part of the TV deal. Before the LA schools left the idea was a 250 mil a year deal would probably happen. But now people are saying they'll be lucky to get a 100 mil a year deal. If you're Oregon State and you be gotta make loan payments on your arena upgrades and the big 12 will have you, go get it.

 

Is this new or not?

 

I would love to play FSU more often.... I thoroughly enjoyed destroying them.

 

I have a fam member who used to coach HS football, been retired for 5 years, he seen a lack of enthusiasm and participation develop years ago. To many options and parents fearful of injuries, especially single moms. Some programs have a challenge fielding enough players year to year now, whereas in the past it wasn’t as tough.

 

Probably a good idea to go back to last summer where some of these same sources were saying and Oregon/Washington move to the Big10 was coming shortly. A lot of rumors being thrown against the wall right now, but I can't imagine the majority of these outlets are tied in with the conference offices.

I will say, Oregon/Washington going to the Big12 seems unlikely to me because of the penalty that would be attached for leaving the conference in the next 99 years. I'm guessing both schools would prefer to stay in the P12 for $5-$10m less a year than pay a $70-80m exit fee in 5 seasons.

 

If you added those teams, is the Pac-12 worse than the Big 12? I'm not sure that it is.

 

Barstool Sports has negative credibility

 

I don't really understand how there's such a long term financial benefit in total for all these schools. Seems more like a pure short term moneygrab.

Yeah the Big10 TV contract could be massive in total; but they'll have to split it between ~24 schools. If the old Big10/Pac12 sized conferences each got a contract half the size then it's split by half as many teams. So each team would get the same amount per school.

Plus now add all the extra travel costs as well as the 20 non football sports and I question if there is really actually a long term benefit.

 

I wonder if first Oregon UW Stan Cal ASU AZ will all try to jump ship to Big10/big12. Maybe 2 of them don't make it. So all that is left is ORST WSU Utah plus two schools Yeah they add these 4 schools you list plus find 3 more and they can still call it the Pac12. It will have more marketing and revenue than calling it the WAC, even though it's a pretty pathetic conference.

 

Not to mention teams beating each other up. No more undefeated or 1 loss seasons in the big 10. UCLA is gonna be the Minnesota Twolves of the Big 10.

 

Depends who else the Pac12 loses. If UW UO Stanford leave the pac12 will be beyond pathetic.

 

Seems like they could get rid of playoffs and just have the Big10/SEC winner play at the end of the season.

 

Right but the only spots better would be the SEC and the Big 10. If they don't get invites to either of those, it makes more sense to stay in the pac 12 with those teams.

 

We should be hearing more schools possibly defecting soon then right if the media deal is shit

 

Reporter: What do you think of Colorado leaving the conference?

Lanning: Who?

 

or September 23rd
