Can the jazz claim someone without jettisoning someone beforehand? Asking

rcbyufan

The Jazz have an open roster spot.

ManicBlue

IIRC, Jazz didn't have a chance. Teams can claim in reverse order of season record.

ManicBlue

Ok thanks. I wasn't sure how the order was determined.

Spurs were indeed higher in order, so even if Jazz wanted him, they wouldn't

Doogal McCougar

I'm not sure B12 teams will want to play late at night half of the time for the same money

thewaterboy

3:05pm

I don't see it, they don't align philosophically with the P12 overlords. Can you see Kansas, OSU, TT, Baylor and TCU

Bert609

3:06pm

Did you look at the relative valuations of each school formula that B12 used? That conflicts with your proposed teams

CLCougar

3:07pm

P10 wrecked their chances during 2020. Midwest schools will avoid western politics like the plague.

Turnpike Lane

Washington and Oregon legislatures could be a major problem

OyajiCoug

They won't wreck their marquee universities to save the two ag schools.

That's only relevant in a Big Ten or SEC scenario.

I'd love if my employer had a bidet. As long as toilet paper is still provided,

Let's not forget that there was an "alliance" just a few weeks ago.

And also remember that The Alliance specifically did not include B12

Why wouldn’t B1G be doing full court press for FSU and Miami?

Because the ACC GOR?

Huge Manatee

Right. But the prevailing theory is SEC and B1G are going to carve up ACC.

Even Texas and OU are going to wait our their GOR issues

Huge Manatee

I think you mean ACC.

Soy Celeste

yes, correct - will fix it

Huge Manatee

2:49pm

Because the Big Ten will go after University of Florida. Mark it down.

Doogal McCougar

Well, that would be a big deal. No exit clause for FL.

It would not shock me if Apple and ESPN team up on the new Pac tv deal and Apple

Jay Kay

Putting the Pac on Apple TV would be the most Pac thing ever

BYUMizzou

2:48pm

It would shock me. Apple withdrew from Big 10 negotiations and only got back in when USC and UCLA joined.

Big Red Thunder
