Yes but that’s partly because the Big 12 doesn’t have two top teams.

I guess it would be Oklahoma St. and Baylor, but those are smaller fish than Oregon and Washington.

Not a bad strat.

That’s guaranteed to be dilutive. Why do it?

Why not just grab ASU first?

I like the strategy, but I don't think TV rights people will.

This can be easily accounted for with a tiered deal

Good point!

So kind of like an open marriage?

PAC will do the same. This is why ASU has to look ahead and do what is best short and long term for themselves.

The main difference is the BIG12 doesn’t have its two best teams actively

Puh-leeze! The correct answer is B-Y-U.

This is a great strategy because, in my opinion, Oregon & Washington...

Nobody in the PAC 10 is signing any new GOR contract

Love the aggressive approach.

Great idea. Although execution is not that easy. There still has to be agreement

I can't imagine UW and UO signing any GOR anytime soon....

That is a very good approach.

My bet, Andy isn't at the table.

The Big 12 does not need to make such an offer

I prefer this approach. Negotiate from a strong position.

Agreed. Great point. To be fair, that may be already offered. If you're UW, Oregon or a 4-corner school

TFL

Raise the stakes! Offer 6 schools but only 4 spots.

I don’t like the idea of giving others special treatment
