Now, seriously speaking, the Pac-12 is in a very bad situation right now and I think there's no way to save the conference unless the biggest of miracles happens.
I bet they do the unexpected and take Boise State over Arizona.buckmarkduck wrote: OSU, WSU, UA and CU are the 4.
Seeing Colorado probably rejoin their old conference feels wholesome but cursed at the same time, I wonder how will the surviving members of the Big 12 receive the Buffaloes, I've also seen people saying that Arizona could come with Colorado as a package deal but I don't know what will happen to Arizona State.ducks5ever wrote:Colorado AD made a statement today pretty much saying they're not 100% committed to staying in the Pac-12. The Big 10 invite can't come soon enough or we're screwed at this point.
If that $20MM per school number is correct, we'll be facing a giant uphill battle for relevancy down the road.
If PAC-12 folds, this seems like a plausible scenario.pdxduck2013 wrote:I'll throw out my uninformed predictions just for fun:
Oregon, Washington, Cal, and Stanford to Big 10.
Colorado, Utah, Arizona, and Arizona State to Big 12.
Oregon State and Washington State to Mountain West.
More like if you just make the CFP, you get to keep a bigger share than all the other schools.Duck07 wrote:"performance based CFP distribution" would sound like if you win your CFP game, you keep the money. If you lose, you've got to split some of it.
Why do you believe Canzano? JC is never on the money about anything, he is the beavers mouthpiece. The Arizona AD said he knew nothing about the GOR. But I’m sure JC would get the news before any AD.pezsez1 wrote:Interesting headline. Perhaps a bit of positive spin from the Pac-12 CEOs.
They've agreed to the terms of a GOR -- which is a big deal -- but that's still contingent upon the actual dollar amounts of the unfinished media deal.
So, for the "B1G or Bust" crowd, there's still room there for Pac-12 schools to jump ship and for the B1G to snag Oregon/others for pennies on the dollar.
That said, Canzano (who broke this news) has been pretty much on the money about the whole realignment issue and I still don't see the Pac-12 folding. It really feels like the conference is just taking its time while allowing its future streaming partners to figure things out.
Random thought: If there were some backroom deal brewing for the B1G to snag a couple Pac-12 schools, then the Pac-12 media deal would effectively give the B1G a price tag. Any Pac-12 school that leaves would demand at least its $$$ allocation plus an added chunk for extra travel expenses. Would be interesting to math that out and see if the B1G could pay that without shrinking margins from its existing members.
While he definitely talks up the beavers more, he has seemed more friendly towards the ducks in recent years, at least the few times I've listened anywaybuckmarkduck wrote:Why do you believe Canzano?

I believe JC is the (self appointed) chairperson of the Jonathan Smith fan club and will be taking on an additional role as the chair person of the DJU fan club.
