I would...that's why I asked we know approximately what Oregon is drawing from the Big-10 media pie. It's somewhere in the 35M range, give or take a couple of million; same for Washington. Otther Big-10 teams make nearly twice that. We know what SEC programs make; what Big-12 programs make; what ACC programs make. We even have a pretty good idea what the Mountain West media deal will pay to each school not sure why the Pac-12 deal should be a secret
lots of different speculations out there: usually, when a range is this wide, 7-12M, it tends to fall in the middle. I read an article from a media 'expert' a few months ago who projected the payout to be in the 9-10M/year range, assuming the Pac-12 could find that 8th FBS member. It was the same expert who reported on the former Pac-12 grossly overrating their leverage in the failed talks for a media deal that the Big-12 came in behind the failure and picked up. He also was one of the first to report on the Big-10 deal numbers the Pac-X may be able to augment that a little bit with some streaming deals
It just sucks for the Beavers. They should take any opportunity to get out of the Pac-12. Ducks are paying Lanning what the Beavers will be getting in TV revenue. The math is just not there for the Pac-12 to become a power conference again in Football.
Welcome to 2023? When the pac12 collapsed 24 months ago the Beavs were stuck without a home - there was never going to be a great result. The Beavs and Pac have actually done much better than I expected. The Pac is positioned to be the top group of 5 conference. The worst schools are actually pretty strong so its a solid top to bottom conference. I know you talked about trying to go to the Big12 but thats just not something that was ever available or realistic. Going forward the Beavs and Pac just need to make the conference entertaining, emphasize its the best west coast options without crazy travel, and position it to capitalize on a 2030 expansion opportunity if some come up such as Stan/Cal types.
