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

A 10 team conference with major perception issue, that lost its blue blood program playing 8 conference games so it can create weak schedules isn’t going to have the positive affect you think it will

Where was that reported?
That's crazy talk. You actually think that someone will pay more for more and better content/assets?
Seriously, did someone think otherwise? I ask, because I'd like to know so that AB can be progressively understanding and make accommodations for people who shouldn't be held to the typical standard through no fault of their own.

The major perception issue goes back to this conference not having had a team in the playoff since 2016. When you cannibalize yourself like the Pac usually does every year in conference play, its easier for ESPN/FOX/whoever to look at you as late night TV filler.
The other way is expansion. Look at the Big 10-they have teams who should be easier wins for their powerhouses. Rutgers. Maryland. Northwestern was going the wrong direction even before news of the hazing leaked. Nebraska has the longest bowl drought in the Power 5. The Pac 12 doesn't have that now with Prime in Boulder. Cal wasn't even that last year-they lost to USC, Notre Dame, and Washington by less than a TD.
Adding teams would solve inventory while opening up the door for bigger games in late November-like the Big 10 had with Ohio State/Michigan the last two years. IIRC......wasn't that #2 vs #3 in the CFP or something like it last year?

Something is definitely happening tomorrow, but it’s not clear yet if it has anything to do with the Pac 12 or college football. As long as the earth is still spinning, something should occur. I was hoping the news break would launch this thread to page 500. That’s what it’s come to, rooting for news to break on a specific page of an awesome yet cringeworthy thread.
Maybe Apple and the Pac 12 will jointly purchase ESPN, nobody would see that coming!

WTF?
Is this a trick question?
If you are series, then no, we did not just hear yesterday that it would be another 4-6 weeks.

WTF?
Nothing burger except for no news that GK is supposed to finally present numbers tomorrow. I understand it can be cute and fun to take information and twist it a little to make it sound more dramatic, but in the end it doesn't change things.
WRONG!!
Pac-12 media rights negotiations: No deal expected this week as football takes center stage in Las Vegas
The conference’s preseason media showcase will focus on football, not the existential crisis that has lasted 13 months.

Look at the headline when you click the link. No trick question. Sheesh..
Or it was planned but just announced.

And to be fair, you have repeatedly and enthusiastically overstated the importance of a dozen different meetings/ events.
Always BUFF
I post stupid ****
Please bust...I hate the P whatever Gilbert Gottfried Up all night thing needs to die.
From Keeler's Denver Post article.
DiStefano said clarity on the new media partnerships is expected to be presented to league chancellors and presidents Thursday by conference commissioner George Kliavkoff.
I'll admit 'clarity' may not necessarily mean numbers, however GK would be foolish to hold back what he has. You don't think the presidents aren't expecting them?

Is that any different than what Rick said to Howell several weeks back?
Always BUFF
I post stupid ****
How could it not involve numbers? it's already squirrely then add a dash of DiStefano and it gets worse anyone that doesn't see this ...
bnkaldkurnadnlfulkekdu = DiStefano and sports and Benson wasn't any better.
I think Rick told Howell to get a haircut

Unless I missed it, that meeting doesn’t even say it’s about athletics - the BOR does occasionally deal with other things besides conference media deals so it could be completely unrelated.

Funny man. Here's what RG said for those who need a refresher:
“You’ve got to believe about a third of what you see out there,” George told BuffZone. “We’re members of the Pac-12, we’re proud members of the Pac-12 and we’ve got to see where our media rights deal lands and where our conference goes. In a perfect world, we’d love to be in the Pac-12, but we also have to do what’s right for Colorado at the end of the day. We’ll evaluate things as we move forward.”
Clowns like Altimore retweeting this and being like "See?" are making me laugh.
That's a master class in saying "no comment at this time" without saying "no comment at this time."
Certainly.
.....but work with me here... it's interesting until it's not..
Holy ****…
Ok, seriously, I give you **** because your act is transparent and hilarious but I’m genuinely worried about your health now. Dude… it’s a ****ing football conference. It doesn’t mean **** in the long run. Or medium run. Or any run. You need to shut your internet down for a bit because this is getting scary.
Colorado HC Sanders to miss Pac-12 media day
Colorado coach Deion Sanders will not attend Pac-12 media day because of a "routine, follow-up" procedure on his foot scheduled for Thursday.
I appreciate your concern.
Just having some fun here.
It's the dog days of summer when there's no football, basketball or Avalanche hockey.
Does Denver have a baseball team?
If they did and they were competitive,
I'd maybe focus more on that.
That, except with the body of this guyITB getting ready to finally be right
