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

[hokiehead]

Because instead of every single one of those programs being middling programs in the SEC, they would likely be the cream in a “coast to coast” conference, while also making comparable money.

Again, this is an assumption that a coast to coast conference that includes ND would also garner around $100m/school, which I think is actually fairly reasonable.

In your scenario,

1. the risk is higher for those schools to form a new conference vs joining one of the P2. I.e. the SEC is gonna be just fine, 99%, but a new hybrid is a 50/50 .

2. The communication, legal, planning, etc.. logistics of coordinating a new conference is going to be a lot harder, more expensive and more time consuming than joining one of the P2.

 

[Vic Victory]

My scenario is one in which the GoR is voided for some reason and they aren’t on the hook for paying the ACC. Instead of running to the SEC, form a conference that competes with them

Seems practically impossible at this point. The ACC is really screwed unless Fox decides to own the super duper league and agrees to pay billions in exit fees for the ACC. It just ain’t happening.

Something to keep @Buffnik and others occupied. ESPN and FOX decide to blow it all up and create four 16-team P5 super conferences, and four 16-team G5 super conferences. Each Super conference has two 8 team divisions. What does that look like? Go.

The optimism in this thread is adorable.

I'm genuinely optimistic for two reasons
1. Elon-Benzos-botnet
2. Texas can't play Vanderbilt every game. In five years the salt from nothing but 4-8 records will be gold

This thread has devolved to tweets from nobodies and the guy with the really ****ty name quoting himself repeatedly.

I’m kind of wondering why I even joined now.

But how else are we going to get to 3,000 posts?

How would we feel about the networks splitting the baby and working out a deal where OU/UW/Cal/Utah get added to the ACC and UA/ASU/CU and somebody like SDST end up in the B12. I get the B12 has a lot of schools that care about football, but it has the really strong whiff of a G5 league. Likely the best we can do though.

Really feel like Rick George is pushing us into the B12 because he’s a Texas guy.

 

[patebuff]

My assumption is that both the Big 12 and Pac 10/Pac 10 ACC alliance has numbers for Schools to look at. RG and PD are going to the regents with this info to decide the best route for the School and program. That possibly means something goes down next week. Friday night BOR meetings happen almost never

Pretty sure he spent less than 3 years of a 40 year career in Texas, unless I'm missing something with his PGA history?

His few years of work for the Texas Rangers do not make him a Texas guy. He's from Illinois and spent significantly more time in Boulder than he ever has in Texas. Also, I don't think he's pushing us anywhere, rather he's panicking and scrambling to find somewhere with a semblance of future value.

Can’t believe I’m saying this but I want the regents to overrule George and and push for the ACC deal. We’ve never had that kind of exposure before, not in the B12 and certainly not in the P12.

Interesting. Thought he was a Texan.

I believe the current thinking of the ACC is that:
1. there are no members left in the XII or Pac that wouldn't dilute the conference value. i.e. there is no realistic path to a larger conference that can compete with the 2025 and beyond versions of the B1G and SEC
2. there is no need to grow for the sake of growth and no compelling reason for all conferences to be the same size
3. being a conference of 14 schools that #3 in revenue is better than the other options
4. adding teams west of the Mississippi will not add revenue commensurate with the increased costs

I think, and it's really hard to cut through what's real and what's bull****, the alliance that is being talked about is one where the 2 conferences essentially stay the same member-wise, but schedule a number of games annually against each other, plus a championship game that is played between the ACC regular season champion vs the Pac-10 champion, as well as some sort of joining of the ACC and Pac-10 networks.

It's all about football of course, but the Pac-10 could really get a boost in terms of basketball with some sort of agreement in that sport.

NOPE. Screw Cal.

You don’t even know what the ACC deal is at this point. The theory sounds good, but unless it’s a $40-$50m/year/school deal, it might not make sense.

In that case, I think you see Stanford in the ACC with Cal and UU in the Big 12 with us.

So glad I’m on a two week vacation since this would be a killer for office work production in general.

I’m not worried about where CU stands at this point. Just get a better tv deal for the fans.

 

[FLounder]

SEC or B1G

nothing else matters

 

[FLounder]

The avalanche are in a southern conference and are champions. **** it

Wait. Are you saying they should try to move to one of those conferences?
