What? That was ESPN's play? They must have tried the other P5s first, right?

As long as they get them somewhere else, they can nix the tv deal

no - they want them ont he cheapest contract possible to save money. They just need them out of B12

Lol big 12 getting poached by AAC might be the best storyline of the year.

Makes more sense. PAC12 and Big10 aren't really interested, but AAC would be

Makes sense. AAC contract is a small ESPN contract. PAC & BiG aren't interested.

The fact you mentioned P5 status shows you don’t understand the situation

Okay, call it A5 status or whatever you want. Why would the Big 12 schools give

If ESPN says "this new contract will give you 15 million. Or you can stay and we give you 9. Take your pick"

I don't think ESPN has that option. ESPN is stuck with the GOR and TV contracts

Dennis Dodd reported that if there’s a loss of membership the B12 deal is open to renegotiate

But as of right now, there is no loss of Big 12 membership until OU and UT leave

Grant of rights and membership are not the same thing
molodyets

How do you know ESPN can renegotiate the remaining 8 schools if OU and UT?
Shinshin

That’s what Dennis Dodd reported a few days ago

Yeah, I am not inclined to believe this until I see the TV contract. If ESPN can

Not having to pay out 150mm to kill the longhorn network and pay the exit fees is quite a bit. And it depends on what

I understood B12 TV contracts keep paying with 8 teams. Is that not correct?

Pretty dumb. ESPN's voice was not needed at all to make this happen, if

B12 has a FOX contract, so of course ESPN wants to disband them by sending teams to conferences with ESPN contracts

This stuff is why I'm not sure BYU wants to join anything right now, even the Big XII "no matter what" as many here do

Yep, ESPN can get AAC on the cheap, because the brand is crap. So stuff the best
