Dennis Dodd at CBS reporting Big 10 pursuing 4 P12 schools. Says P12 in danger

So how exactly does a 20 team "conference" function?

Indy Coug

9/28/22 11:34am

It doesn't. It's a de facto mini-league at that point.

shoganai

As 2 10 team leagues that have a championship.

And probably conference semi finals

probably two 10 team divisions, with 2-3 OOC per year. Then BIG gets to just

Why not call them divisions, which is what is being used now?

BYUHgrad

Makes sense. West, North, Central and East.

With 20 teams, I would not be surprised if the Big Ten gets the Rose Bowl

Utah is obviously school 17 - unless the SEC gets to them first.

Reiterating what’s already been reported

Yormark wants Pacific time zone. CO and UT obviously do not provide that.

Stanford, Cal, Washington and Oregon would join tomorrow if invited

Of course, but they'd leave for the Big10 first

Wazzu has better TV numbers than Utah. And brings PST. It has geography against

Still it's Wazzu and really nobody cares about them.

Those Portland suburbs of which you speak are WA.

That is what I wrote: “Washington side of the Columbia”.

By that logic, Arizona only provides it half the time, and it changes mid season

NOCAL_YFAN

Huge difference. It's much worse for us.

I mean no difference to a conference TV deal. As far as TV is concerned, it's

AZ changes after week 10

Arizona & AZ St are Pacific Time for over 2/3 of the season. Alternating so one

He very easily could have been referring to AZ

JOPE

Did he actually say that or just more Western schools. BYU fills the last

Nat Gas Man

In the article he was quoted as “4th time zone”

Why would Amazon want to own rights to games like Cal vs Rutgers?

k-ace

9/28/22 11:43am

And pay $75M per school to get them

NOCAL_YFAN

9/28/22 11:45am

Amazon is looking at paying $100 million per year for the 10 pm ET window

RenoCoug

Amazon is extremely easy to access.

Yeah the article proposes conflicting ideas

how does it compare to what they have today?

Amazon wants in the sports streaming world. They may be willing to overpay.

Amazon was the highest bidder last go round, but the Big Ten opted for CBS + NBC

Doogal McCougar

Amazon ratings have been higher than NFL network

Price of entry is always large with “not great” ROI.

HOW COULD THE BIG 12 DO THIS TO THEM?!

With grenades, missiles, ICBMs

Networks don't care if the B1G gets diluted. They're paying for the top 3 games

May be, but Peacock gets 8 games/year and FOX gets more than just the Big Noon

I’m just confused why there was a big push to expand the CFP by the super confs

If Yormark took OSU and WSU along with Zona schools it would over the course of ten years grow into imo the biggest
