He neglects to mention that all road games would be over 1000 miles away. Huge downside. Less travel equals more wins.

Kirk Bohls (Austin-Statesman) on BIG12 & inevitable super conferences

jrifkin48

Correct me if I'm wrong but the Pac 12 payment is 4th out of the P5 conferences,

Agree. The PAC-12 doesn't have enough $ to offer concessions. The Big 10 will

If you're the B12 could you grab enough of the PAC to make it work with the promise of more money?

SouthernBlueBlood

The advantage I see with the pac12 is that if everyone stops at 16

Grabbing TX & OU with say OSt and one of the TX schools would be a good bridge with CO and Arizona Schools. That could

I don't think they'll go East-West.

No way do the California or Northwest schools agree to that.

boscatar

That would require a rule change, but I would be fine with that too.

displacedute

I guess this so called reporter doesn't know that travelcoug said there's no reason Texas would ever even consider pac12

No, ACC is the lowest

If you count $ from Tier 3 rights, Big12 is #3, PAC12 #4, ACC #5

Concessions may not just monetary; they could allow Texas to keep LHN

PAC12 has second highest revenue but has highest operational cost.

Pac 12 with texas and OU puts them much higher.

With the trend of cordcutting and ESPN/FOX cuts, I don't agree with that.

jakesnake

5/24/17 5:02pm

They would control half the country. PAC 12 would do very well.

We don't know what the TV landscape will be like. I disagree that's a foregone

Anything about BYU?

I just caught the tail end of the interview on SIRIUSXM...not sure

jrifkin48

5/24/17 1:03pm

Link? Was this a podcast or interview? Don't see any recent articles on this.

BamaCoug

5/24/17 12:33pm

It was on SIRIUSXM this morning with the First Team

BYU has five years to make some noise.

Oatmeal

5/24/17 12:44pm

Noise...like changing the Honor Code? That would help more than winning...

Honor Code

Plus, OU never gets Texas at home because of the RRR venue.

The game in Dallas is big for both Oklahoma and Texas

CougarVeteran

5/24/17 1:13pm

The B12 realignment really did hurt Oklahoma and Texas

boscatar

5/24/17 1:16pm

I'll say it again, don't assume 16 teams. More profit with 12 teams.

blackshirts

5/24/17 1:12pm

More likely to see B1G or SEC grow bigger than 4x16

boscatar

5/24/17 1:25pm

If I'm one of the big boys... I say 12 teams each and get 25% more $$$$

blackshirts

5/24/17 2:24pm

Except that the SEC, B1G, and ACC received more money for growing to 14....

boscatar

5/24/17 3:35pm

B1G could go nation-wide

jrj84105

5/24/17 2:53pm

I could see this, but actually think it would be more of a B1G-PAC coalition

boscatar

5/24/17 3:27pm

I have trouble imagining Texas Tech in the B1G.

Rice if it comes to academics.

jrj84105

5/25/17 12:20am

Rice is a tiny private school that stinks @ relevant sports. They'll never be P5

BamaCoug

5/25/17 7:56am

They have a $5B endowment and are in the best recruiting region in the country.

jrj84105

5/25/17 8:12am

If I were Larry Scott, I'd invite UT, Rice, UNM, and UCSD as non-FB members.

Any talk in 2017 of "inevitable" outcomes in 2024 is humorous, silly & absurd

Bohls offers revisionist history.
