Bob Vance Intervention Needed
Fair response. I think most of those articles predate the recent madness, so it's hard to factor what numbers matter

most.  But, again, I'm referring to "twitter" reports here, not hard and fast articles from months ago.  I realize you have to take that with a massive grain of salt, but this MHVER guy (yes, I know) is saying that ESPN is offering $220M per year to the Pac 10 for everything.  (20) MHver3 on Twitter: "RUMOR: Pac12 offer from ESPN: $220 million per year, no expansion. Transfer ownership of Pac12 networks to espn. Yearly scheduling of 1 ACC team per school. Clash of Champioms “Bowl” (more on that in next tweet”" / Twitter

If that is true, and yes, it's only a rumor, but if it's in the ballpark, it's just a little around $22M per school (my $19M estimate was off).  That's a similar relative drop from 35/19 ratio I mentioned.

I'm not holding hard to these numbers.  I'm merely pointing out that the current rumors don't justify a lot of faith in P12 leverage over B12.  Rather, the other way around seems far more likely.
