CU has rejoined the Big 12 and broken college football - talking out asses continues

Boise State & Frenso State is the final invite...I'm going with Boise State in that case.

I'm failing to see why SDSU AND UNLV aren't clear adds to 12Pac. If UCLA is forced to stay add in those two and Boise (Zags for MBB) then you have all the larger markets on West Coast locked in for a legitimate TV contract. Explore TV deals with all scenarios and work from there in principle. It appears we aren't going back to XII, not poaching XII, not creating ACC alliance and this school is furked anyway so these are easily the best course of action. How ****ing hard is this PhilD(eezNuts)?

Cal and Stanford love uNlV

UCLA is not going to be forced to stay. Not sure why so many people keep posting scenarios where that happens. They’re gone.

I hate this damn program so much.

When RG hired Dorrell...it was the hammer that finally put the final nail in the coffin...

Sad days...

The only thing that might happen is that they have to share some of the TV revenue with Cal. Even that is a long shot.

Rumors of the ACC making a play for PAC leftovers persist.

I can't see this happening, but if...

If CU joined the ACC with WVU and two other Pac 10 or XII schools (your choice who those might be), how would the rest of Allbuffs feel?

Would love 6 Pac joining ACC to keep rivalry pod/travel while upgrading big-time.

Cal is $.5B in debt. They should have no seat at the table when it comes to financial decisions.

I could live with that but I don’t think it will happen.

Sure. I do like the idea of them having to pay a portion of their media rights to other Cal school(s). Haven't looked into the contracts behind all of that, but the thought that it could happen makes me happy.

1. TCU
2. KU

ACC would see a nice number of new television markets with Denver, DFW, and KC.

I will not miss those late, late night games and I wouldn't mind watching a game at 10 AM on Saturdays. We will have to give Tad a big pay raise to coach in that conference.

Greeeeeat secondary option. We're going to end up with a glorified G5 conference.

Pac12 North
Washington
Washington State
Oregon
Oregon State
Cal
Stanford

Pac12 South
Utah
Colorado
Fresno State or UNLV
San Diego State
Arizona State
Arizona

That would suck.

And half of you want to stay because you'd rather play ****ty teams like UNLV because the road trips are better.

 

[Bison]

I'd wait to see what the media rights deal would be like before deciding whether it sucks or not. But staying in the P12 isn't my preference at this point too.

Personally, I want out of this second rate conference. More budget share, better game time slots and better recruiting geographics are the only thing that might get this team back above .500 in the next decade. Fvck roadtrips. We don't travel for sh!t anyway.

UCLA leadership informed [University of California] President [Dr. Michael] Drake that discussions between UCLA and the Big Ten were occurring but he was not involved at all in those discussions or in any negotiations," a spokesperson for the University of California Office of the President told ESPN in an email. "... Decisions related to athletics are formulated and executed at the campus level. There is no requirement for a decision from the University of California Board of Regents or the Office of the President.

Here’s more updates, I believe this one.

Those schools add nothing to the conference and would just take away money. It’s a non-starter.

But also, those schools are 3/4 of what the B12 looks like.

 

[Da Lama]

Honestly, we should be thinking about what all this would look like for the basketball program. Because afterall... we are fvcking basketball school.

I wouldn't get your hopes up with a good media payday coming up. Getting rid of the P12N and putting it on ESPN+ or Paramount+ or whatever is what CU needs to do at this point.

Hard to argue against the ACC if that's your take

I dunno. A conference with Baylor, Arizona, Kansas, Houston, Texas Tech, Colorado, etc is right there.

 

[BerkeleyBuff]

Wilner saying that SDSU and SMU will save the PAC is looking like he's hit the bargaining stage of grief.

I really enjoy getting likes on posts from days before. It's like a little happy surprise.

I don’t have my hopes up for anything, hence the name lol. But I believe the B12 has better hopes of a better pay day, especially with 4 more teams. The P12 keeping everyone with a couple MWC schools tossed in won’t move the needle, it’ll be the lowest of all the conferences.

Exactly. If more P12 teams bail, the conference that gains the P12 teams will be perceived as the "better" conference, and will likely get more cabbage. If ASU, Utah AZ flee and CU stays, that would be a mistake.

OTOH, if all the P12 stays, and adds a couple of backfillers in the form of G5'ers, that is the best outcome for the P12. I am not 100% that is best ofr CU. My guess is, the B12, while not the best, will likely get more TV $$$ than the P12-2+2.
