AAC going for it all

Why wouldnt the existing Big 12 just take the best AAC teams?

WJCougar

7/28/21 9:48pm

Because the Big12 lacks leadership/direction

They cant be that dumb. The Big 12 name has a better brand.

WJCougar

7/28/21 9:57pm

Looking at who has left, and what they have done, maybe they are that dumb?

groy

Because that isn’t what ESPN wants

OK...that makes a lot of sense.

Because that's the best choice and the BIG12 hasn't followed the best route

7/28/21 10:15pm

Given the actions from the BIG12, I would bet that ESPN is going to fight the

Give me a 20 team league with an upper/lower division with promotion/relegation.

7/28/21 9:48pm

I want in that league.

Marvelous

7/28/21 9:51pm

this would make no sense. The Big12 would be waiving all of their claims

This isn't going to go the B12's way in the end.

And they'd forfeit their CFP money, the Sugar Bowl and their NCAA basketball money

Would that make the AAC a 19-team league?

AAC has 12 football schools participating

7/28/21 9:53pm

11 at the moment with UConn gone

You are correct. Forgot about UConn

He was just the mouthpiece. He only does what his Presidents tell him to do

7/28/21 9:54pm

At this point, he's likely just doing whatever he can to keep his job alive.

DirtyWater

7/28/21 10:01pm

He's not acting on his own. He is doing whatever the B12 tells him to do.

7/28/21 10:21pm

Normally I'd agree but, in this situation, he may not have anyone giving him

DirtyWater

This Houston fan gets it

LifelongAP

7/28/21 9:57pm

That makes no sense. If you keep the B12 intact you keep all those exit fees

7/28/21 9:53pm

They can't afford to sit around for four years with a death sentence over their

7/28/21 10:04pm

Bankrupcy is the death sentence. You don't just drop half your revenue and

7/28/21 10:20pm

It'll definitely be a balancing act. And so a negotiated settlement is very

Stay intact and keep getting the money as long as you can.

Brigham

7/28/21 10:25pm

Somebody has to pay them that money and that would be ESPN. I'd say ESPN is

7/28/21 10:22pm

They would lose. That’s why they are trying to work these back alley deals

7/28/21 11:20pm

??? So the remaining 8 teams are reporting that they are being courted?

Hair Thompson just got a good idea.
