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

They're left with the entire SEC, half the Big 12 and G5.
Regardless, for ACC to merge with Pac, the Pac would need a media deal and GOR that satisfies the ACC members. 100% Apple isn't it and ESPN isn't interested in the Pac. ESPN has no incentive to tell both conferences, "if you merge, we'll come to the negotiating table and give you an equal deal to what the ACC is currently getting", which will ultimately keep the ACC teams from doing anything.
I think the post Goose was quoting was supposed to be a joke. that said, Letterman isn't funny if that's his intent.
you're right about the SEC -- I forgot about them
For the ACC to merge with the Pac:
1. ESPN would have to decide it wants to pay each ACC school more money than it has them contracted for through 2035 AND that they also want to pay Pac members that same money even though they've had tepid interest in buying Pac inventory at less than they're paying the ACC.
2. Alternately, 8 ACC members vote to disband the conference and all of them decide to stick together along with 8 Pac members to form a new national conference that will get paid AND all 16 commit to a GOR instead of entertaining SEC & B1G opportunities.
Slam dunk!

In the early 90s, when they were both in SoCal radio, Rome used to make fun of him mercilessly. Rome’s impression of “Smacksaw” was good stuff.
acknowledging the snark, I think #2 could happen if 8 ACC members contractually agree to make their votes to disband the ACC atomic with a decision to form a new conference together; i.e. it doesn't have to a vote to disband followed by a consensus decision to join in a new conference. Someone please correct me if what I described isn't possible.
This morning's roller coaster must have been a real gut punch for OSU and WSU fans to think they had hope and then end up facing a oblivion again a couple of hours later. My guess is they have probably offered a fair amount of their shares to UW and UO to get them to stay at this point.
this is the sort of wrinkle I've been envisioning when I keep pointing out that NONE of these conference GoR's have been tested in a court of law.
Maybe some of Allbuff's General Counsel can explain whether or not this is a realistic example of how the GoR could be nullified or weakened by court rulings.
What was it? The Mighty 690? Rome was pretty funny back in the day, before he got big. Hamilton cracked me up, he was such a goofball. Early 90'a SD was a lot of fun.
All the begging going on right now.
I'm no expert, but sovereign immunity generally does not apply to contracts. I will leave it to the AB judiciary to elaborate further.
The reactions that he elicits from others can be funny.
thanks. I haven't gotten into looking at those
Yep. The Mighty 690! Lee’s toupee was quite mighty as well.
Yup. Reserve that spot. If UW and Oregon bolt, the B12 doesn't even have to offer a full share.
Also, congratulations on being being honored Message Board Geniuses? Is this your first time?
I saw him doing a remote at some bar in La Jolla, the dude had an epic throwrug.
I would be surprised if the Zona move is not official in the next 24 hours.
Once they & AZ BOR slaps some sense into ASU's president.
I can only imagine how things would be if CU & CSU were under the same BOR.
