Most people aren't following it as closely as we are and it will be a shockwave if it isn't Utah, ASU or UA.
I think it's one of the 4 Pacific NW schools with an emphasis on WSU or maybe OSU.
WSU actually makes the most sense. Their TV ratings have been pretty good over the years and they are accustomed to playing in the late night spot, which is likely what ESPN still needs to fill.

Doesn't this meeting seem like a panic reaction? I keep repeating myself, but without a media deal it is all talk. Ultimately money becomes the biggest part of the equation and without a deal what do you have to negotiate with. As far as George K. being blameless, that is ridiculous, he supposedly was talking to media partners for months but now all of a sudden has a solution with the ACC.
Just like unequal revenue sharing for UW and UO will keep them in the PAC, 150% of zero is the same as 50% of zero. CU is the only one that has taken a business approach - show us the numbers or we walk.
That Pullman-Orlando road trip would not be ideal.
It's also the first place he goes when he needs a delicious homemade pizza.
Same way that LA to Newark road trip isn't ideal? If they added SDSU, that's an equally ****ty road trip for those two schools. It would only be once every few years.
....at 6:45 PM sharp.
This guy is the TRUTH!
WSU or OSU would be pretty underwhelming.
I think you meant to say "****ing terrible."
I’m sticking with my guess yesterday that it’s Oregon with Washington as a distant second. I think it actually makes way too much sense for Oregon to stab the P12 in the heart and pull up the ladder.
Most people are focused on B10, but B12 could be a great move for them to go scorched earth in the short term and give themselves an easy playoff path with more stability. They don’t have academic holdups like the rest

I agree, I just don't see Oregon and Washington splitting up, so unless they choose to take 3 more to get to 16, I just don't see it being one of those. WSU or OSU, otoh, would both probably jump at the opportunity because they know they're not in any future Power conference plans and as I said, WSU is appealing to ESPN for Big 12 After Dark.
But, in light of the WVU guy's scoop, I can't imagine the Big 12 would turn down Oregon and Washington as members if they wanted to jump.
Probably true. Yormack doesn't have to do anything at this point except keep an open phone line to see who comes to him and chose what he wants instead of him having to pressure anyone to come. Everyone now looking for a lifeboat

I’d rather have Connecticut is we’re talking coastal schools that nobody in their right mind wants.

Yup..their arrogant asses will automatically assume they can dominate. Oregon has had so many good to great recruiting classes the last 5 years and yet Utah has owned them...LOL like we did with Ricky.
If Oregon moved to the B12 their recruiting in (Tx) won't amount to a hill of horse ****.

WTF?
Hey, you are talking about CU! We Comin!

All these years...I had no idea how much I hated ou...I just wanted to beat SC once.
Oh I can't stand that team. They had everything we were supposed to have. Always in our way. Screw them. I hope they get stuck in the MW V2.0.

WTF?
One more shot on September 30 and what a sweet Buff victory it will be.

That jibes with the reports I've seen from Big 12 twitter stopping at 16. Still think this league could be at 18 teams for the next decade.

uaagh the P12 tried to create a rivalry that no one alive could relate to it was a joke to begin with.
How many utah games did Keith Jackson call?

They were probably the first of the 9 to call Yormark after Thamel's tweet yesterday.
Oregon and Washington should be left to rot. Screw both those programs.
I hate them both, but they would make the Big XII a much better conference.
