Watch the whole ACC + Pac 12 stupidity fizzle out in the coming days/weeks and the beginning of the football season. They Big 12 + Pac 12 should just merge. That would be a good "left over conference."

I read the flugempire Big Ten TV intel. I'll simplify things for you all....FOX + Big Ten + NBC + CBS are going to time the years so they can do a kill shot at the ACC after the next TWO TV contracts. Yes, Big Ten would go to market twice before the ACC GOR is done.
college football fan@Genetics56 · 54m
That will force the hand of Notre Dame since Notre Dame knows if they stick with status quo and reup with NBC, they will never come close to financially competitive. Big TEn money would just keeep growing.
college football fan@Genetics56 · 53m
The one thing that I will credit Warren for is the NFL style TV contract they are piecing together. ESPN + SEC boxed themselves in, into one channel. Big TEn will be on multiple channels all day long on Saturdays.

ACC pushing back against the “loose partnership” with PAC12. ACC wanting to just invite Washington, Oregon, Stanford, and Utah. Trying to figure out how to get it done without voiding GOR. Need espn to help bring those 4 in with Pro rata

Meanwhile on the B12 front all signs are pointing to a possible meeting today where member schools may vote to invite AZ schools and Colorado.

One final tidbit this afternoon
AC is currently trying to be as attractive as they can while they see what their media rights could be if they stayed together.Of course “official sources” are going to downplay the significance of any talks schools have had Witt other conferences
MH ver3@MH ver3 · 6h
I actually have another afternoon tidbit: B12 hurt Pac12 last year by adding Houston and BYU and taking the last 2 remaining schools of value in the Pac12 geographic footprint they could have used to expand with following the recent defections.
MH ver3@MH ver3 · 6h
But they wouldn’t have taken BYU anyway from what I’ve heard. But our last expansion left them with no options. They are stuck at 10 unless they want to further devalue their per school payout for the sake of size
MH ver3 @MH ver3 · 3h
Tonight’s Big12 vote isn’t to invite schools. It’s to actively pursue expansion and re-form the expansion committee. There’s so much information to pour through and so many moving pieces that B12 leadership alone can’t keep up.
MH ver3@MH ver3 · 3h
We have a good head start and have great lines of communication opened up with candidates and media partners. We just need more active involvement from member schools

Really hard to believe the UNC to the Big 10 rumor.
The UNC dook rivalry is only second to the Yankees vs Redsox IMO.
I know they can still schedule this game out of conference, but it just would not be the same.
I don't have any clue what's going on, but I'm not buying this one.

Will it still be 30M? If yes, then we have to say yes. The problem is we could be without a viable conference again in a few years.

Even if it's 20 have to do it..They are around 5,6, now.. It's a no brainer
Considering it's 40M now, yes I think it's safe to say it'll be 30M. That only takes 20M for the tv contract due to bowls, playoff, ncaa tournament monies.

Throw out the old criteria of Big Ten expansion. The current version includes the following: academics and culture, student-athlete welfare, competition, and logistics, commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion in sports; financial sustainability
college football fan@Genetics56 · 9h
based on that, the no chance in hell list includes from the Pac 12 includes Arizona, Colorado, Arizona State, Washington State, Oregon State, Utah.
college football fan@Genetics56 · 9h
For the Big 12, the only current member that would even have a remote chance is Kansas. TCU = no research, small student body, as an example.
college football fan@Genetics56 · 9h
For the ACC the only ones with a chance when using the criteria are Miami, Georgia Tech, Pitt, Duke, UNC, VA Tech, UVA and an extremely low chance for Clemson (less than 5% chance, IMO).
college football fan@Genetics56 · 6h
Top 20 TV markets through Big Ten and SEC teams only. FOX has full control of 8. ESPN has control of 5. FOX has the top 4. By adding Stanford, WA, OR..FOX would have full control of 11 vs 5. That would be a massive difference.
college football fan@Genetics56 · 6h
The reason TV markets still matter to some level is population centers. The more people there are in a city, the more people who should be watching games. The strategic mistake that the SEC has done is they didn't leave their normal footprint, besides Texas, in the last 20 yrs
college football fan@Genetics56 · 6h
Oklahoma + Texas is basically Texas since OU is close to Dallas. I forgot Missouri in my previous tweet. That was a dumb addition. Misouri hasn't added anything to the SEC. ..cont
college football fan@Genetics56 · 6h
It's possible ACC schools could get out of the GOR in the coming years, but let's assume they go to 2030 at least. Since 2000, the SEC will have only added 2 top 20 TV markets. The Big Ten since, 2000 has added 3..cont
college football fan@Genetics56 · 6h
If the Big Ten adds OR, WA, Stanford, they will have added 6 top TV markets. As I go over the data, the media has to be getting filled with a ton of intential misinformation being fed to them. Why t he f would the Big Ten not add the other 4 top 20 TV markets???
college football fan@Genetics56 · 6h
Because if you add OR, Stanford/Cal, and WA to go with USC + UCLA, you have blocked out the SEC for any major market out west. Sure there is Phoenix and Denver, but those will be controlled by the big 12/pac...cont
college football fan@Genetics56 · 6h
FOX/Big Ten will then have forced/boxed in the SEC to be a regionalized conference for the rest of our lives. If the SEC wants to take an Oregon State or dumb sh like that, more power to them. But FOX/Big Ten is willing the market size battle = dollars.
college football fan@Genetics56 · 6h
Then you add in Notre Dame with a national audience. Eventually, you take a school in Virginia, Florida and North Carolina and then share the major markets with whatever happens out east when it's all done and over. Mulitple bidders and winners = more money too.
college football fan@Genetics56 · 6h
Thus, all FOX/Big Ten need to do is lock down Notre Dame, the three schools out west, then hang tight for several years until the states of Virginia, North Carolina, Georiga and Florida come available. FOX is then national in almost every major TV market in the country.
college football fan@Genetics56 · 6h
Yes, from a TV sub perspective this isn't going to make much of a difference since FOX is OTA and FS1 is available for anyone that wants it, but the point is more than that...it's a foot print and you get more people watching your channels = more ad revenue.
college football fan@Genetics56 · 6h
Thus, people can say the ESPN and SEC TV deal is sexy and will pay a sh load of money, and it will, but it will be 10 years of now further growth than what is already in the contracts. Why the SEC was stupid to go all in with one network we will never know. It's dumb.
MH ver3@MH ver3 · 3h
Pac12 will be filing an injunction against USC and UCLA on Monday to begin the process of withholding their tv earning from now until August of 2024.
MH ver3@MH ver3 · 3h
This would equate to roughly a $70m dollar “exit fee” for each school leaving. This is part of why the 6 schools B12 has been in talks with are waiting for the exclusive negotiation window to end before jumping. Every week equals $675k in tv money
MH ver3@MH ver3 · 3h
Pac12 can also legally suspend or terminate USC and UCLA from the conference now if they so choose-per chapter 2 section 4 of the bylaws
MH ver3@MH ver3 · 3h
I’m getting all this Pac12 info from a new source that is feeding me info through dms here-I’m trying to corroborate it all by reading the bylaws myself but it’s late and that’s a lot of reading
MH ver3@MH ver3 · 3h
So I reached out to my main source and his response is slightly different than what my Pac12 source is saying.
MH ver3@MH ver3 · 3h
My main source said that it’s the Pac12 network monies that are forfeited which is only 33% of the total monies that are distributed to the schools. So if he’s correct that would be a much smaller financial impact on schools leaving.
MH ver3@MH ver3 · 3h
But he’s saying Pac12 absolutely can terminate or suspend the schools leaving, dropping them off the schedules and keeping those schools from generating revenue. But….
MH ver3@MH ver3 · 3h
…they would do so at the expense of the entire conference because the networks could then withhold a certain percentage of monies based on what those schools games are worth.
MH ver3@MH ver3 · 3h
So depending on which source is correct on this it’s either a $24m or $70m “exit fee” for schools leaving.
MH ver3@MH ver3 · 2h
Even if the exit cost is $24m then if 8 total schools leave that’s almost $200m for the remaining four to split for a nice one time payday. Consolation prize?

This process will become more political the bigger that the SEC and B1G get.
You're going to have people looking at Washington, DC and estimating what it's going to take for the two conferences to retain their monopoly power.

TCU + Big Ten??? What the hell is going on????
college football fan@Genetics56 · 1h
There is no way in hell you take TCU without taking Oregon first. I know Fox may want a Texas presence, but you also need to be smart about this if you want to do a total takeover and box the SEC in.
college football fan@Genetics56 · 1h
Notre Dame, Stanford, Oregon and TCU to 20 according to the folks at the Texas 247 site. That would explain the Stanford silence. Then they can get to 24 once the ACC schools become available. That puts FOX into all regions of the USA after ACC acquistions.
college football fan@Genetics56 · 1h
They say TCU draws better in the Dallas metroplex than the other Texas schools for TV viewing. That would be why FOX is looking at it.
college football fan@Genetics56 · 1h
To be clear, I'm not saying TCU info is real. I'm simply sharing what others are saying. The TCU info is NOT from anyone that I speak with. It's never even been mentioned. I have serious doubts on the TCU info being real.
Mh ver3@MH ver3 · 5h
Got some clarification on those Pac12 bylaws from my regular B12 source: leaving teams only forfeit revenues if they leave prior to August 2024. Pac12 can file an injunction if they choose but it would be a slippery slope if they wanted to do that and suspend those teams.
MH ver3@MH ver3 · 5h
So there is no exit penalty at all as long as the teams stay until 2024.
MH ver3@MH ver3 · 5h
So it actually may be in the interest of any teams left if the Pac12 gets further picked apart to go ahead and vote to dissolve the conference and sell off the assets.

There is no way in hell you take TCU without taking Oregon first. I know Fox may want a Texas presence, but you also need to be smart about this if you want to do a total takeover and box the SEC in.

Notre Dame, Stanford, Oregon and TCU to 20 according to the folks at the Texas 247 site. That would explain the Stanford silence. Then they can get to 24 once the ACC schools become available. That puts FOX into all regions of the USA after ACC acquistions.

They say TCU draws better in the Dallas metroplex than the other Texas schools for TV viewing. That would be why FOX is looking at it.

To be clear, I'm not saying TCU info is real. I'm simply sharing what others are saying. The TCU info is NOT from anyone that I speak with. It's never even been mentioned. I have serious doubts on the TCU info being real.

Got some clarification on those Pac12 bylaws from my regular B12 source: leaving teams only forfeit revenues if they leave prior to August 2024. Pac12 can file an injunction if they choose but it would be a slippery slope if they wanted to do that and suspend those teams.

So there is no exit penalty at all as long as the teams stay until 2024.

So it actually may be in the interest of any teams left if the Pac12 gets further picked apart to go ahead and vote to dissolve the conference and sell off the assets.

Probably not though since the plan is to give new members half shares.

It's a guilty pleasure reading these tweets. Guilty pleasure like eating a pint of Haagen Daas while reading up on how to lose weight and improve your health guilty.
I'll say this. The premise that the B1G will now have a dominant presence in the northeast, midwest and California compared to all other conferences in those areas is true. The state of Texas is out of play for the B1G. The deep south is out of play too and I don't know if the B1G would ever want any of those schools anyway (Save for Alabama).
Where it gets interesting for the B1G is the lower Mid-Atlantic and east coast south. That is why I think UVA, UNC, and GT are all strong desires for the B1G. Well over 20M new viewers in that area plus plenty of B1G alums working it.
State of Florida is a wild card. I think the U is way overrated- small school size, not much fan base support unless team is top 10, etc. UF obviously isn't going anywhere and no way UCF or USF even sniff the B1G. Could the B1G take a peak under the hood of FSU? IDK. It's a better school than the Free Shoes U reputation in the 80's. Not AAU but it is an R1 research school and USNWR has it as #19 public school and #55 overall (And yes, I know there are issues with USNWR rankings).
A combo of UVA, UNC, GT and FSU would give the B1G the best grouping of schools from NYC all the way to the southern tip of Florida.
