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?

Only 11 months ago? Seems longer. haha

Huge game of chicken isn't it? You also have to weigh whether there are limited spots the Big 12 is offering and

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

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

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

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.
