Dennis Dodd on CBS sports was told by his sources O and UW are considered middle of the pack in moving the money meter

Now is the time for the BIG12 to make the move.

O and UW may not bring much value. But if you're the Big 12, there's value in destabilizing the PAC-12.

Exactly. Go after them and the Arizona Schools and lock down the 16 teams NOW!

Are the AZ schools a package deal? Wouldn’t it be better to target ASU and then

Yeah, with a failing P12 the TV value of the B12 automatically goes up and a

They absolutely bring value to the BigXII

Agreed. They bring value to the Big 12, in and of themselves, and bring additional value by weakening the PAC.

I think that money value is for the BIG numbers not the B12. I suspect they

They bring value to us since we don’t have much. They just might not bring value

It is critical that Big 12 adds 2 PAC schools immediately. That decimates the

If the B1G is currently listening to ol' PAC politics & is honestly

He also mentioned the ACC schools can easily depart without going to court

Provided that gravy train lasts another 30 yrs. 😉

True. It’s all about sustainability

Cougarpride

Think OU and Wash are tied to OSU and WSU?

ManicBlue

7/1/22 7:51pm

Washington is considered a small market?

I know that didn't make sense. I wonder if he meant UW

I believe it’s UW (Seattle)

Makes more sense

Seattle is the 15th largest metro area & 14th largest media market-that’s small?

dixdog

Probably on their hit list of teams. TX would have been there, USC, ND maybe UVA

Utah fans everywhere:

Best program from each state (including the state of Utah ... BYU). I like it.

BluesBrother

Arizona not CU. At least Arizona brings bball and a rivalry

ColonelMustard

Wha? You take the boulder/Denver market all day every day over Tucson

Mitty

7/1/22 9:21pm

No one in Denver cares, though. It's an airport you're talking...not a market.

SinkingQuffa

7/1/22 11:30pm

They should take steps to ensure there are at least 4 power conferences. If that

Washington has a small market. That's great.

They probably deduct the NFL team fans from the NFL markets

It’s true. The Big-10 teams will get about $100 million

CougarGregor

The Big12 West will essentially be the PAC just in a different league(-USC/UCLA)

zerigke

7/1/22 8:42pm

Yeah, we're not gonna expand to 20 teams. We'll take the strongest 2-4 PAC

What has UCLA done in the last 20 years to make them more appealing than Oregon?

Countcougula

Rumor has it USC wouldn't go without them. But the LA market just for the BTN

Nat Gas Man

Package deal with USC is the only thing that makes sense to me.

What I've heard is that it was about making sure nobody else got them

If the ACC is going to go to pieces, Big12 should leave some space for them.

The bar for moving the money meter is very very high for the B1G.
