Stars don't matter?Ubben has been a dumbass for over a decade. Perhaps draft picks or on the field results are a better measure than 5* recruits. Helps explain why UT and A$M winning in February doesn’t equate to actual winning.
To be fair, they're not the only thing that matters. The Athletic recently ran an article that ranked several Big XII teams as some of the best in the country at developing 3 and 4 star players into NFL draft picks (and the same article, unsurprisingly, ranked Texas as one of the worst at squandering 5 star talent).Stars don't matter?
Their agenda is to get a bunch dumb ****s with nothing better to do to click $$$. It appears it be working around these partsOr Dodd’s employer has an agenda. I have no clue why CBS would care but he wouldn’t keep putting out these articles without their blessings
There are editors that review his work. Hes not on an island.Or Dodd only reports about stories that conform to his agenda, regardless of source.
The whole “ESPN is out” narrative is stupid. ESPN is never out. ESPN would always be ready to ink a deal at the right price.
It is clear that ESPN has not offered a price acceptable to the PAC 10 or the deal would have already been signed.
It is also clear that the PAC 10 is struggling to find a deal that provides the right price with the right exposure. Doesn’t mean it won’t happen, but the struggle is obvious.
The longer this drags on (and dear god it’s dragged on), the more likely teams may feel forced to take the least bad option.
I am certain that CU wants to remain in the PAC and will only leave after all possibilities to stay have been exhausted.
This should all be resolved within 45 days or less.
Iger's defining legacy is going to be the DeSantis lawsuit, and he knows it.Any way you cut it the Pac will be third fiddle to the SEC and ACC in terms of programming inventory slot assignment. What we have to offer is just not that compelling. Money might not be the issue here as the conference could be angling for commitments to better time slots that ESPN is unwilling to give up. ESPN execs know with Igers return and the big spend theyve already tied themselves to that ratings will be the most important thing going forward. And the SEC is the crown jewel of that inventory.
- ESPN has committed a majority of its powder to spending on another conference.
- Disney CEO Bob “Bob CHEAPek or Paycheck” Chapek was recently ousted for underspending and under investing and general loss of confidence by rank and file employees as well as the Board.
- Bob Iger returns to the company. Iger is a former ABC executive and was CEO following Michael Eisner both of whom were pretty aggressive and supervised periods of historic growth in the companies history.
- Is Iger going to be an agent of growth again? Or is he arriving at time where there will be restraint and restructuring to control costs and right the brand? Will he let ESPN/ABC loose to spend big?
It sucks for us that CBS and NBC refuse to play ball.
Not necessarily. When Iger left the Disney/ESPN’s cable bundle was a revenue cash cow for much of Iger’s tenure. But that star is now fading with cord cutters near the end of Igers CEO tenure. If he cant make Disney+ equal what they were getting from set top he’s going to snap the leash on more spending at ESPN. If the revenue is going the other way he wont micro manage. ESPN will always need inventory. They just might be trying to underpay for it.Iger's defining legacy is going to be the DeSantis lawsuit, and he knows it.
I doubt he spends much time/effort on ESPN at this point - they'll run on autopilot for a while.
National media seems to indicate otherwise.Not necessarily. When Iger left the Disney/ESPN’s cable bundle was a revenue cash cow for much of Iger’s tenure. But that star is now fading with cord cutters near the end of Igers CEO tenure.
It takes a village to raise a flaming radioactive douche bag.There are editors that review his work. Hes not on an island.
Miami isn't THAT bad man...It takes a village to raise a flaming radioactive douche bag.
I didnt say it earlier but I do agree that the lawsuit against DeSantis is the most important issue facing Disney from a PR perspective. If the ChristoFascists win, and because of how theyve shaped the courts they could, then the WaPo is right and it will be bad for business in America as well as for the rest of us.
I look forward to renewing our rivalry soon.
Baylor needs to gtfo with any thoughts of a rivalry. We’ve played 16 times! And of course we’ve won more but who cares. Nostalgia used to be a mental illness.**** Bailer. I hope the whole school burns down (with no deaths, of course), and they decide not to rebuild because a charred out waste land of sharp rebar, floating asbestos, and broken glass is safer for the general public than bringing back that evil institution.
Right about what? There’s something like 30 different topics all being discussed in this thread.Certainly more smoke out there that something is up. Will be interesting to see who ends up right.
Colorado bye bye from PAC12.Right about what? There’s something like 30 different topics all being discussed in this thread.
He said smoke, so I'm assuming it means that Bailer is indeed on fire. **** those guys.Right about what? There’s something like 30 different topics all being discussed in this thread.
Of course the WSU president isn't going to sound panicked. Where else would they go?Interview with the WSU president. P12 info starts at 30m mark.
-Deal now expected in summer
-Economy cause of delay
-Optics are an issue, one company (Amazon or ESPN) is ready to sign but wants to wait 6 weeks bc they just laid off people, bad for pr reasons but he didn’t think it mattered
-Will be linear and streaming
-P12N stays or goes depending on partner, if P12 produces the partner pays the production cost
-UW and UO wouldn’t go to B1G for less money, no one wants to be a B player
-Media deal first then expansion
-Doesn’t sound panicked, said hysteria of people wanting 4 conferences instead of 5 is overblown
-Didn’t mention CU
If I had to guess, factor in the 6 weeks thing, looking at late June.

Wouldn't that make him even more panicked?Of course the WSU president isn't going to sound panicked. Where else would they go?
He needs to be as calm as can be ...on the surfaceWouldn't that make him even more panicked?
Of course it would. He’s doing the B12 thing where you sh** all over WSU and OSU because the conspiracy theorists all share the same brain on this stuff.Wouldn't that make him even more panicked?

If B1G partial cut is as much as or more than the PAC (which it could easily be) and there's a plan to work them to full shares over time then there's no chance UO and UW (or us, or wherever) wouldn't jump on that.-UW and UO wouldn’t go to B1G for less money, no one wants to be a B player
It was verbatim what Schultz said about UO/UW, that they told him they don’t want to be a B player. Wasn’t my opinion.If B1G partial cut is as much as or more than the PAC (which it could easily be) and there's a plan to work them to full shares over time then there's no chance UO and UW (or us, or wherever) wouldn't jump on that.
Oh I completely understood it was his words/ not your opinion; I was just calling out his words as BS.It was verbatim what Schultz said about UO/UW, that they told him they don’t want to be a B player. Wasn’t my opinion.
Should CU jump at less money in the B1G if offered? Absolutely.
