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

PAC MAN said:
After subscribing to ESPN+ for CU's third tier B12 games, will anyone miss the P12N? My goal for a new media rights deal was the ability to subscribe to something like ESPN+ (for the Big 12) or Apple TV+ (for the P12) and it looks like it is going to happen. That is with the understanding that there will be linear TV options available.



LOL...that'd be funny but given the Comcast overpayment problem, I think it's more likely the P12 gets dissolved so CSU stays put.

Just get the Disney bundle (ESPN+, Disney+ and HULU)
Now I won't have to worry about who carries the PAC12 Net.

Guaranteed $
Possibly an easier path to college playoffs
Closer road trips though not in wonderful places
Being in a conference where the fans actually give a damn

Do you feel that this cements cu in the “have nots” in college football? Pre prime we put ourselves firmly in that camp, but now we have the most dynamic coach in the game and then decide to move to a league with perceived lower competition. Seems odd to me. But your point about the playoff is well taken.

If we stay and are making $10-$15M less than the Big12, which is already $10-$15M behind the Big10 and SEC we will be firmly in the have not category regardless.

Potentially more exposure and visibility. A Prime-led CU program in the Big 12 will have Fox and ESPN/ABC including them in marquee time slots alongside their SEC and B1G programs. Of course, that’s also assuming any Pac deal doesn’t also include the networks.

Good point about guaranteed exposure. No idea what the pac can provide there.

I assume we would have to sign that extended gor so we are locked in and likely can’t move, right?

Video going over Wilner's article. It's behind a paywall so it's nice to have the video go over it.

OK, so it's just another pud making up ****. I'll believe it when someone other than a rando from Tucumcari comes across with legit info

Other than the $ what benefits does a move to the big 12 have that I’m missing?

Aside from money and stability the exposure figures to be night and day different. 70% of the games on ABC, FOX, ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, or FS1 which is more than the recent PAC deal. The last chunk would be on ESPN+ which is usually 2 games per school and has 23M subscribers.

The PAC might be entirely streaming on outlets like apple (16M subs worldwide) and while some games might get sublicensed to linear I have my doubts on the quality of channel (The CW? Really?) and the amount of inventory a subscription service who also wants ad revenue will part with.

SCOOPAGE overhead at the burrito stand: CU will be announcing a move to the Big 12, possibly as soon as the 2024-25 seasons for all sports. No word on what schools will also be making the move with us.

Any idea on when it is expected to be officially announced?

If CU does move to the B12 then I hope Arizona stays in the P10. That way everyone can be miserable.

I’d say it’s 99% certain we’re the only one that moves. The boomer wanderlust for B12 cowboy towns is too strong at CU. Zona talks a good game but they’re not foolish enough to go. They are a P5 Gonzaga, smooth ride to the tourney every year.

Also h/t to @buffaholic who had it from a source a couple days ago

I've abstained from updating, but high-level donors have been informed all in the last week. First by a "program ambassador" which (to me) was only a 99% indication, but then reconfirmed with a personal call from where the buck stops at CU.

edit: and 2nd hand thru my big donor acquaintance
 
I see the improved basketball league, money and TV exposure as benefits here

Road trips to BYU will be cool (posted before, but one of the most positive experiences I had as a visiting opponent fan)

Maybe there's some diamonds in the rough, but IMO, the other road trips suck

Partying with WVU fans visiting Boulder could be fun. at least interesting (would be more relevant if late nights on Pearl Street were part of my life)

But for me personally, the top reason I like the idea of a XII move is that CU won't be in a conference (or alliance) with VT in the near future
