Walk-on
Factor in a $76M buyout for those teams to leave the Big 12.
How safe/profitable does it sound now?

The issue is that once the contract is up, or if there are provisions that void

You're assuming the Big 12 $$$ doesn't shrink with Texas and Oklahoma gone

Cincy, USF, and UConn benefitted from leftover BE media deal and exit fees

They'd have jumped because they were no longer going to be in

Hmmm. Interesting take. Safe v. best? Look at TCU, Texas Tech, and Kansas

That's about $18M per team, IF TX and OK leave early AND pay the full amount

Let's walk through the math together on your argument.

There are NO scenarios where a depleted B12 is more valuable than the PAC as is.

How is this better than a conference with USC, Oregon, Washington? Why would any

The PAC 12 is not very good and not very well respected east of Colorado

Okay. But my point remains. Your imaginary conference is not better.

The money benefits you list are short term. What happens in 2025, when

I don’t think they keep the tv contract if Texas and ou leave early

Nope. If they stay at 8, no renegotiation required. But 2025 numbers will see a change.

Apparently, last go round ESPN bought out a provision requiring they get to 12. So they don;t have to.

You think ESPN will pay the same $ if TX and OK leave??

You assume ESPN has the right under the contract
BlueSteel2021

Nope. He understands that ESPN will not pay $$$ it doesn't have to

Sadly for ESPN, the contract says they have to until 2025.

The networks get the $75m early out from OU and Texas…

The Big 12 games without OU & IT have less importance and attract less money
