It seems they pushed all their chips in for the SEC

Why the PAC is effectively dead

I think the TV deal is with Fox not ESPN

That is not how it works

runningryan

Interesting. Good to know

They are the only bidder for that 10:30 EST slot

runningryan

8/19/22 10:34pm

Could be. If B1G strikes again. Question is will they.

I think it will for west coast market dominance and logistical support for SC and UCLA

runningryan

8/19/22 7:18pm

Certainly not a given though

TNT

8/19/22 7:24pm

If it creates more content that makes the B1G more money I think it happens

runningryan

8/19/22 7:26pm

It’s been reported that they could also bring Amazon on board if they got new

Jay Kay

8/19/22 7:18pm

Exactly. The B1G stands to make money and so do those PAC schools who join.

runningryan

8/19/22 7:21pm

Then what's the holdup? Just take the PAC 12 teams now. The greed of money is

There could be debate on whether to add 2 or 4, waiting on ND, or wanting to wait out the ACC GORs

runningryan

8/19/22 10:35pm

So Jay Kay brings up an interesting thought

runningryan

8/19/22 10:57pm

I read a quote from the former commissioners of both the SEC and BIG that they

Nat Gas Man

Warren was asked in an interview with Bryan Gumble whether there would be 20 schools in the B1G and he said yes

runningryan

8/20/22 3:51pm

I guess if they go to 20 the best schools would be those inside the ACC and ND

Nat Gas Man

8/20/22 4:57pm

Very true. The B1G may secretly think ACC. However, it's hard to imagine

Schrodizzy

8/20/22 5:33pm

And that is a distinct possibility

runningryan

8/20/22 6:20pm

Well I along with many others was wrong

Nat Gas Man

8/20/22 9:02pm

I wouldn’t mind being a fly in Warren’s office

runningryan

8/20/22 10:39pm

That whiteboard is probably covered with juicy details and a dozen different

Nat Gas Man

8/20/22 10:52pm

The west could get wild my friend 😂

runningryan

8/20/22 10:53pm

Why would they pay more to add schools and then not show or have the rights to

See my response above to GSWarriorCoug

runningryan

8/19/22 7:22pm

Still doesn't make sense. You say they will add 4 teams because the payouts will

byubyu

8/19/22 7:29pm

Read the Dodd article

runningryan

8/19/22 7:32pm

I did. Still doesn't address the logic. Again, you're saying that Fox and others

byubyu

8/19/22 8:05pm

Probably streaming

Nat Gas Man

8/19/22 9:03pm

Fox, NBC, and CBS have purchased certain time slots and each have varying priority picks

runningryan

8/19/22 10:40pm

You keep saying the same thing a different way but don't address why you think

byubyu

8/20/22 5:21am

I am saying the excess inventory the other three networks don’t have capacity to air could be sold to ESPN

runningryan

8/20/22 10:30am

Why wouldn't they have the capacity to air late night games?

byubyu

8/20/22 10:36am

See my example above

runningryan

8/20/22 10:54am

Ya.....you keep changing it.

byubyu

8/20/22 11:00am

You keep getting distracted from the point

runningryan

Maybe I'm missing something...

See McMurphy Article below

But that would presumably be escalated for increased content shown.

Did you figure in the conference office revenue share. That will dilute

Nat Gas Man

8/19/22 9:02pm

The $71.4 mil is gross for everyone before the conference cut

runningryan

The only thing Gopher, Badger, and Hawkeye fans agree on is 9:30 CT game suck.
