IMHO, UW/UO -> B10 is the only way teams leave the P12. They'd rather take less money and exposure than go B12

TNT thought that a long time ago. But all of the rumors made him reconsider

They are either gone by June 30, 2023 or June 30, 2024.

June 2024 would make no sense. They would either have to leave before they sign

You're assuming they have a new TV deal by then. They may not.

Not really, they still have their existing TV deal for this coming season

They could park their sports in the WCC and go Indy for the next 6-7 years.

I agree. I think the PAC-12 schools value the academic relationships they have

Based on what? Them saying so? I think sour grapes is the explanation

I’m curious where the assumption that academics drive sports decisions…

Telemundo or PBS might be willing to go $26M

WDaddy

Well at least PBS is finally getting into the sports arena

TNT

Latest Swaim tweet puts it at $19M before debt payments, not hard to beat

At that price, Hallmark channel would be interested

I wonder how much each PAC president is plugged into athletics. I have a feeling

thewaterboy

6/8/23 12:07pm

Must be that

TNT

Agreed; would be crazy if they passed on the Big12, but I think it's the reverse

Holy moley.....

OK the meme falls apart where those schools are represented by a hot chick

Please more memes

Could it be the the BIGXII only wants additive teams and the few that the pac10

Well unless Yormark is wasting everyone's time

I guess what I mean is that maybe “we” have written off the idea of Wash/Ore to

Lolo

0 chance of that. In this super poor guy's opinion

TNT

6/8/23 12:52pm

You’re probably right. It is just so hard to read the tea leaves on these things

Lolo

The PAC people have already shown an amazing ability to choose silly things over

Academics have abandoned religion. In their new faith, the only immortality is

Everyone assumes they can go Big12 at any time.

Swaim tweeted there will be a July 1 deadline for schools to decide

It is crazy, but it would be consistent with historical PAC decision making

For some reason they don't seem to think they have to pay the consequences
