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

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

True. It’s all about sustainability

Think OU and Wash are tied to OSU and WSU?

Washington is considered a small market?

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

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

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.

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

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

Mitty

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

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

Big 10 prefers big markets like Champaign, Madison, Lincoln, and Bloomington

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

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

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.
