Yes, seems the most likely scenario except the current PAC deal ends July 1 2024

They opened media negotiations 11 months ago. They haven't gotten an offer yet?

True. B12 could say commit now or there may not be an opportunity later.

What is the basis for your point #1?

Its a logistical issue to schedule an entire athletic department worth of games

There's no contractual basis for #1. At some point, it becomes too difficult

I think the June 30th date has more to do with SDSU & MWC schools' deadline

I really doubt UW and OU have offers. They were vetted, but so were about 10

ASU and Utah are both vocal about staying in the PAC, my take is they are

I doubt it. The money would be horrible and they can’t sacrifice millions just

Oh their pride is much bigger than you believe! they are all they way in the PAC

I could see ASU thinking they are a potential fit in the big 10. Maybe that is

I suppose that's possible but I have a hard time believing the decision makers could be that stupid.

Regarding your points 2 & 4, there can never be a media deal while UO/WA are

DirtyWater

The deal will have contingencies for schools leaving and coming

I'm sorry. That doesn't seem plausible. UO/WA are not just some schools.

Here are the specific contingencies (pretty simple):

Yes, that make sense- 7- 14 will end up with negative dollars! With the $50m com
