An emergency meeting to find out that their services are no longer necessary…
Ideal
You’re saying that you have contacts in the AD?
Yep. Billionaire alumni from Miami are paying major NIL salaries with a coach who can recruit. They will be back.
In a roundabout way, he's pushing his anti-progressive political agenda. Posters on 247 who credibly have contacts within the AD have completely dispelled this narrative.
Any info on 247 that can be leaked over here once past the 24 hour rule?
Sir, does this mean Ann-Margaret's not coming?
Apparently, CU has formed a survival alliance with Utah, ASU, and UA, who have eaten OSU and WSU, stabbed CAL to watch it die, and are paddling their tiny life-raft desperately toward the Gulf of Mexico.
Sadly, this is the best news I've heard in days.

Oh, nothing crazy, just that this notion that CU faculty and admin are in awe of Stanford and Cal and would rather just follow them wherever they go, even if it's dropping football, is completely idiotic and just not true.
CU knows it needs football to maintain an athletic department (unlike Cal and Stanford). The hope is that this is a wake up call for the admin to start giving more of a ****.
People really, really overestimate the amount of ****s that faculty give about any of this. Just an easy scapegoat
Does Cal not need football?
Lol what??
It damned well better be legit!
My dream would be that the admin now sees how letting athletics languish led to us being locked out of the ultra nerd Big 10 conference and treat our next 10 years before the “CFB endgame” to make changes in an effort to squeak back into a good academic conference in the next round.
This requires critical thinking and self evaluation. This will never happen. But I can dream

Well, one slide was a positive ...
Based on the rest of the deck thats probably not enough to overcome Stanford and Washingtons academics and SF media market. And as you can see Stanford is #3 on the list.
Maybe in the future we get in on some of the positives. Ill venture if we did they stick us with the lower payout tier like Rutgers and Maryland.
The video touches on the point about the importance of media markets and the strategy the B1G is employing validates that.
Money is killing college football as is CTE.

This just in- Blockbuster Video is now taking bids from possible franchisees! Strike while the iron is hot!
The only thing I can imagine is they are looking at what they might get if they stay together, before everybody jumps in their life rafts. Or, the B12 turned the four corner schools down.
Feels like a pointless thing to put out there in public
Here’s my completely uneducated guess on this - the Pac12 needs to make immediate membership decisions (additions, invitations, etc.) and must be exploring media rights scenarios as part of that exercise so this just allows them to start all the conversations that need to happen immediately.
Aside from that, no idea.
Some speculation here that the SEC is rumored to want to take 4 teams from the Pac 12 to establish a presence in all four time zones, with Oregon and Washington as the two main programs, and Denver and Phoenix as the two MTZ markets they covet..

Is The SEC Moving West?
There is educated speculation out there that ESPN and the SEC are seriously looking at adding four former Pac-12 schools to increase their imprint in all four time zones.

Yeah, I don't know, I am just guessing. It smells a little bit like panic.
I mean, one hand, playing SEC teams would be cool, looking at the scoreboard afterward, not so much.Some speculation here that the SEC is rumored to want to take 4 teams from the Pac 12 to establish a presence in all four time zones, with Oregon and Washington as the two main programs, and Denver and Phoenix as the two MTZ markets they covet..

I wonder if the SEC values the Denver market more than the B1G because there aren't a lot of SEC alums here. The B1G doesn't need CU to capture the market, in theory, but the SEC might need an SEC program to do so. Same in Phoenix.
