I think you mean poach.

Thanks Miss Soy.

Why would those schools want to leave when they’d get a smaller piece of the pie

For less money, more politics, and worse management controlled by CA government

You’re stuck in a reactionary echo chamber.

Which part is incorrect? Management, control, or does conference brand trump?

You didn’t verify anything you said. Just regurgitated what one narrative is

Which part of what he said is untrue? Not looking for a fight, just curious.

Not being able to prove him wrong doesn't mean he's right. My point is he's

Fair enough, but there is a history for some of his contentions, especially wrt

Wait, where are you seeing this? The $$$ you're citing in particular doesn't seem to add up

Oooooohhhhhh, footnotes! This post wins.

I do think the Big 12 is in a stronger spot...but to just hand-wave away the danger based on Twitter seems non-ideal

Not mocking at all. I’ve literally done the exact same thing, complete with multiple asterisks, about another subject I

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

Truth is that I think the prevailing wisdom here is more likely to...prevail. I just think we're overly dismissive of

They had the chance to do that last year and didn’t. Now they have to compete

I believe they'll try to poach Kansas and a Texas school, but I don't believe

Would the Pac + the Texas schools and a loose ACC alliance be a P3?

Diz

7/7/22 6:44am

That's basically what we think would make the Big 12 a P3

krindorr

IMO - If B1G/SEC took from the ACC, then it’s over.

Diz

There is no way the PAC is going after Baylor and TCU.

CasualFan

7/7/22 6:44am

They'd go after TCU - Dallas market attached to a team that is largely shedding its religiosity

krindorr

A few people have posted about it

krindorr

7/7/22 6:48am

It's definitely possible for sure. Nobody on sports message boards really know.

7/7/22 7:15am

I think part of that is a filter on "information we know"

The PAC are hypocrites who need to pay now

I agree with your assessment.

It wouldn't make any sense to do this without binding agreements from UW and UO

The B12 schools want nothing to do with California, Oregon and Washington politics running the show.

7/7/22 9:01am

Yes, people have suggested it. Those are generally people who do not understand that the PAC basically does not have

Big 12 teams would have to pay up to leave, 80 million for a lateral move?
