Yep, how can a Big12 reporter pass up a story on snagging a $1/4Billion boon?

Was the original source just playing to a new audience? Seems like a guy working

Go listen to the 364 podcast he wasn’t really pushing BYU

I think you are misunderstanding me as we seem to be agreeing. Kurtz is just

Kurtz needs to learn from Jay Drew and pander to his non-target audience

So if we're worth an additional 4 million for 11 other schools does that mean

Yes, he was only talking about the increase in value from just us.

To put it into perspective that is SEC and BIG value. WA iirc was valued at just

Tbf we bring a whole new timezone and tv slot to the conference

Actually if you watched the Andy Staples piece he thinks we bring in even more

Yes. That is how that math works. Hope the assumptions are accurate.

Why are you summing what we were paid + our incremental value? Our estimated

It should be $28M the value per team on the B12+ $4M*12 the difference BYU makes

Nat Gas Man

So pretty much what BYU fans have been saying forever?

This is the most validating few months for BYU athletics in its history.

That was a straight up take down of PAC 12 presidents historically. And spot on.
