I 100% disagree. I believe Colorado will have a lot of success early on. The question is maintaining it which all depends on recruiting and how long with Shedeur be here for

CU has rejoined the Big 12 and broken college football - talking out asses continues
- Thread starter InTheBuff
- Start date
With ABC/ESPN exiting the Big10 rights they will double down and pump up their SEC games bigly. From there the best ACC inventory will get on and then the best BigXII inventory will get inserted. Fox will get some of the B12 games for Fox Broadcast/FS1
Last year UCF (9-3) was on main ESPN twice and not on ABC broadcast at all until conf championship game against Tulane.
I would expect the important games to get moved around for the widest exposure on ABC and ESPN Main. The lessor ho-hum games go on at “normal” hours against each other on ESPN2/3/U/+
Fox gets second bite on the BigXII games picking up 26 football games and some basketball for Fox broadcast/FS1. Fox doesnt need as much inventory since they have fewer channels to schedule and they have a lot of B1G inventory.
Big 12 reaches new media deals with ESPN, Fox
The once-beleaguered Big 12 has stabilized its future by coming to terms with ESPN and Fox Sports on a six-year media rights agreement worth a total of $2.28 billion.

They will pump the SEC but they also have to honor contract inventory with the SECN & ESPN+ which combined for almost 52% of their inventory last year. 1 game per team on ESPN+ and 38% on SECN.With ABC/ESPN exiting the Big10 rights they will double down and pump up their SEC games bigly.

ABC/ESPN lost 27 Big Ten games and 5 BYU games since last year.
They added 15 SEC games before Texas and OU joined. From there those two add 15 games and some of that will get earmarked for SECN & ESPN+ contractually.
Similarly the ACC has a TON of inventory on ACCN or regional syndication/streaming- nearly 2/3 of the inventory.
They'll have competition for good windows on ABC/ESPN for sure but it's honestly less inventory in their programming than they used to have even before we look at them potentially passing on the PAC and the 21 games they had. They'll put the biggest brands on first of course but the Big 12 will get solid windows on par with what they had for the most part- the broadcaster has fewer games overall.
FOX has a lot of inventory to fill for FOX & FS1. They only get 32 Big Ten games and 14 are earmarked for Big Noon Saturday.
However with NBC/CBS paying up for Big Ten exclusivity on non-cable in the afternoon and prime time windows that leaves 14 weeks of FOX afternoon and roughly half of that (MLB conflicts) in Prime time that is wide open and the only competition for the Big 12 on FOX is the MWC unless the PAC somehow gets FOX back to the table. The MWC isn't much competition.
Additionally there will still be plenty of spots on FS1.
The east coast schools in the Big 12 will get bumped from the main channels in favor of the SEC. The schools in the western time zone in the Big 12 (if that’s CU TBD) will play a lot in the After Dark slots, but will be on the better channels. It really works in our favor to be part of the BYU+3 out west in terms of exposure.With ABC/ESPN exiting the Big10 rights they will double down and pump up their SEC games bigly.

I must've missed it or forgot about it, but wtf happened to him in Albuquerque.
Thanks again for saving my life.
(Redacted)
It wasn't so much what happened to him in Albuquerque as what happened to him in Trinidad.
Can we trust him to know the difference between Wyoming and Colorado?
The SEC school geography department strikes again.
He still got OU and TX in the Big XII

someone put Phil in a car and have him go check the CU PO Box in WY. Maybe our SEC invite has been sitting there certified mail for weeks.
Now watch him argue that Okie State is as valuable as UW.

Any way to kick out bottom 2-4 brands from each and merge?

Signed,

The way you do this is dissolve the existing conferences and then form new ones. It’s only a matter of time before somebody tries this. I just don’t know if that time is now.
The PAC schools could merge with the ACC at this point given that ESPN is going to pay up (unlikely due to layoffs and cost cutting they are doing right now). WSU and OSU wouldn't get the invite and be relegated to either the MWC or Big 12.
Then when 2036 comes, they can dissolve the ACC and be on their merry way to either the B1G or SEC.
I don't see that happening at this point.
The PAC schools could do it right now with the intent to move in 2024 sans OSU & WSU.
