College football fans understand the value Colorado brings. The Pac12 has too few of them.

Gotta put an asterisk by Colorado now
The P12 and its tiny media arm of Canzano/Wilner and 200 fans can try all they want, but we’re finally partnered with ESPN now. The narrative has already changed and ESPN will control the narrative in our favor since we’re an acolyte.
Notice the highlights of scoring on USC and Finebaum/ESPN running segments to pump us up and further deflate the P12. The P12 tried too long to fight sports media instead of going with the flow and they have paid dearly

Me too, but for football reasons they are a better team and for strength of conference they would be a better addition

So, anywhere she goes?
I do disagree with the assertion that the PAC12 fought sports media. Sitting on the side of the road watching expensive cars zoom by, complaining about their speed, does not make someone either traffic cop or a rebel. Just lazy. lol
The P12 didn’t give up rights on its P12 network to the conglomerates like the other conferences did. By freezing them out to preserve full control, they really dug a grave years ago that is too deep for George to crawl out of now imo. Should’ve given them a vested interest in the network to prop it up years ago. Smaller piece of a bigger pie and all that
Just heard an interview with Brett McMurphy and he had a few things that were sort of interesting:
- The pro rata with ESPN is capped at 16 teams while it is capped at 14 with Fox, but they feel they could go back to Fox and get it done for 16 teams.
- Arizona is the most likely school to join but if another school steps up first the Big 12 won't wait or hold a spot for UA.
- He thinks Utah feels a sense of loyalty to the Pac12 and wants to see what the media deal is before leaving.
- He seems to think the Big 12 would be good with 14 although I'm sure if Oregon and UW want to join then 16 would be the number. The Big 12 wouldn't say no to those schools.
- If no Pac 12 teams want to join the Big 12 (which I think is very unlikely) then they would look at a G5 team to get to 14. Memphis is the only available G5 school that doesn't have at least a $30 million exit fee with their conference

I've accepted the death of CU hoops already. Besides, I like Zona fans (key is to ignore the mouthbreathers that exist in any fan base...*looks around our board*) and am giddy about the thought of KU fans having to deal with them. GIDDY.
Will somebody PLEASE think of Tulane? Having Tulane in the conference would make it bearable.
Thanks, this is pretty solid confirmation that there are only 4 slots (or 2) for the Big 12, which explains why the remaining PAC schools will be clawing each others eyes out to get in very soon to get the last slot or three slots.

This all seems like how I lean at the moment. Rumors out there that another will jump either today or next few days, and if that happens, the PAC is deader than dead and their best deal would be to merge with MWC for whatever they can get on a media deal. Maybe a few leftovers go independent.
I just don't see B1G or SEC throwing lifeboats and going above 16 with the uncertainty of the playoffs beyond 2025.
So glad CU took the first lifeboat out of the 4.
Would be hilarious if Utah screws themselves and ends up back with csu and Fresno.
I'm sorry, but the Big XII conference over it's entire history has only allowed a max of one cool city in it at a time. Boulder has taken that spot.
And you quote like Fred.
I’m not sure if Utah could not stomach the thought of joining BYU or BYU wants to block the Utes’ entrance in the Big 12, or if it’s a combination of both. Nevertheless, it’s the best program out there with perhaps the worst options. Very undeserved position in my opinion.
from the bastion of Boulder a force of goodness and light will spread across the plains and int the hearts of the people. They will throw off the bonds of hate and oppression and mistrust. They will turn to the idea of cooperation and solidarity in search of comity.
RIP sinead.
Now if we could just get our own mouth breathers on proper meds….

Another thing I forgot to mention what McMurphy said is that he expects one of the ACC schools to challenge the GOR within the next year.
Tell me you're a celibate teetotaler without telling me you're an celibate teetotaler.
In before;
The PAC-12 has issued a statement regarding Oregon's decision to follow CU to the Big XII.
"As an academics focused conference, we always felt that Oregon and their affiliation to Nike took away from that academic focus while funneling money towards the athletics side of things. Oregon's decision today changes nothing about the PAC-12's academic goals and ability to reach those goals.
We look forward to consummating a media deal in the very near future even though we are absolutely ****ed without UO and CU"

The CW is going to be running out of money real soon if not already.
Who the hell is going to eventually sign the PAC 9 or 8 or ... ?
