It's pretty prevalent

We're all delusional when it comes to our own team. My boss (Ohio State alum) kept talking about how great it would be to connect our department with all of the PAC12 schools. I need to check with my counselor who plays for Tech if they've been told anything, but I'm guessing it's all just hearsay at this point.

Once it settles in to these places that they don't have options it will get ugly

Probably the same thing as in 2011/2016 with BYU fans to the Big12

It does make sense. Of course, Texas and Oklahoma were the PAC's best option

Why? What does that do for the PAC?

It's big for exposure and $$. The PAC gets 12pm ET kickoffs and a footprint

Need more details. Please explain where the extra money comes from.

With kickoffs from 12pm ET to 10pm ET, there's at least one extra

Why can't a Utah or Colorado game start at 10:00 then?

They were exploring this exact possibility. Met with reluctance

Not from Utah. Whittingham is on record favoring early games.

I don't think 1 extra time slot brings more money than splitting the pie more.

The 12pm ET exposure has value, even if there isn't extra $$ after splitting

Doogal McCougar

7/26/21 3:37pm

Exposure only matters if it brings in more $$$.

You don't think Texas and Oklahoma would bring prestige, respect, and $$ ?

So, back when it all went down, the PAC was willing to take 4 B12 schools,
