Rick George: “We’ll find the money”.
He literally said that right before or the day of the Prime introduction.

That is an unfair assessment. Firstly you are taking it out of context. Second look at the donations and interest and the big announced money that has come in.
No one with a brain bigger than their heart was going to commit anything major without proof of life. RG delivered on this. The comment was clearly tongue in cheek.
They don’t hire Prime if they don’t have assurances from Todd Saliman that they had the money. I’m sure a big part of that was that RG needed to fundraiser his dick off and Prime was going to bring the in the whales
Im sure He was calling donors at the same time he was calling Prime. Probably the money was promised but only if the hire impressed. Saliman maybe made up the difference
this is probably at least partially true
Well, if (a big IF) Apple was involved, that company is notoriously secretive about everything until they want to announce it. I could see them having anyone privy to the information sign an NDA before hearing it, including school presidents, chancellors, and the Pac-12 brass. This may also be the reason that everyone has been so quiet on actual numbers. But then again, I'm must taking out of my ass like everyone else here.
realize you're catching a lot of grief for your high level of interest in this subject, but there are posters here who appreciate your passion and updates.
I guarantee everyone is under NDA. I also don't know what the motivation from the parties would be to leak info if it could harm negotiations and relationships with partners.
You’re a good man Hoke!
I'm starting to wonder if CU is starting to burn bridges with the rest of the PAC after those BOR meetings being scheduled and then canceled. Or maybe GK is spending too much time on the Vegas Strip these days.
Time for GK to show his media rights cards and call it a day.

Why are people listening to irrelevant sports “journalists” when it comes to M&A and corporate strategy news? Seems like you should look at filings and shareholder comms
I won't listen to a 'journalist' who doesn't know the difference between stake and steak. Lol
The statement that fox is not doing anything in the sports streaming business is false.

Q&A session is over. Journalists never disappoint to miss obvious questions. No one asked where the media deal sits at the moment. Is it done or are they still negotiating? Would they take new partners? No one asked about specific partners. What about Phil’s story from yesterday about seeing numbers yesterday. Just a terrible job by these writers who cover this topic 24/7.

The PAC can pre-screen questions.

That did not appear to be the case. Haven’t seen any writers on Twitter say they were purposefully ignored. The questions he answered weren’t softballs but they weren’t specific enough either.
Even you have to admit that GK **** the bed.
It was that bad at the end. The beginning of the presser was fine but boy it took a turn .

Bringing this conversation here so BJ doesn't have an aneurism. It would have been interesting to see what the media deal would have been had USC and UCLA stayed and the Pac 12 added KU, OSU, TTU and TCU to get to 16. Would have for sure relegated the Big 12 to G5 status. $50m/year per school with total distributions near $70m wouldn't be out of the question, IMO.
I know that's less than what SC and UCLA got from the B1G, but that's enough money to compete and it would position the conference as the clear #3.
Anyways, back to reality

He was fine. He didn’t say much. The writers dropped the ball.
Are you referring to the guy at the end who tried to pull a gotcha on semantics? That was so dumb. They don’t have a deal in place. Even Phil mentioned they were seeing numbers yesterday.
