TL; DR -

Any facts about the comparable B12 offer? Or is this from so long ago that

“A deal with ESPN is not close”

"At this point, a deal with ESPN is not close."

So much for George K presenting a deal to PAC presidents this week...

MojosDojo

3/20/23 7:51am

That was my thought. No way can anything get done in the self imposed 2 week

Literally none of that is new info.

Just confirming that nothing has changed other than Utah AD and ASU/UofA pres

They made statements based on the information that they had,

Depends — I would argue it is new because

It does not directly contradict that, unless you start filling in info that is not there.

TCuz

3/20/23 8:03am

Yes it does. The only one that can get to the Big12 number is Apple and that is

RGGeemer

3/20/23 8:04am

I disagree

MojosDojo

3/20/23 8:08am

$300M still does not equal B12

Preach

Don't forget about the production costs that the PAC would have to provide.

Not sure we’re looking for “new info” At this stage

3/20/23 8:07am

Bingo

MojosDojo

3/20/23 8:11am

Literally none of your response is helpful.

It’s all just regurgitated info. I’ve listened to their podcasts and read Andrew’s updates

TCuz

3/20/23 8:52am

That's just it. No news is pretty big news in light of the AZ pres saying 'We

Like I said, if you want to fill in a bunch of extra stuff that’s not in the linked article, knock yourself out.

There are two specific contradictions

It’s a good analysis but even SBJ is careful to add the disclaimer

Everyman

3/20/23 7:56am

True, but it's an intriguing counterbalance to the recent slew

MojosDojo

3/20/23 7:58am

That statement is in reference to the P12 going all in with Apple but the report

TempeCoug

3/20/23 8:14am

The report is from the NYPost. That writer shares a podcast with a SBJ reporter.

3/20/23 8:01am

Correct — changed

Having worked for a supplier to Apple in the past, this is very true: "It is

Sounds like owning one of their products. 😉

3/20/23 9:03am

And again, Apple has no production capacity, therefore, all games would need to

Sounds like Apple is the only bona fide bidder. Recipe for a low offer?

Brandoblueblood

3/20/23 12:18pm

30 million is a super lowball offer when you consider the production costs

travelcoug

3/20/23 12:42pm

That means 18 to 20,000,000 per year per school
