The Big 12 is interpreting the bylaws as 80% of the previous two years if given one year notice and 50% (or whatever it is) for two years if given 2 years notice. This is part of the negotiation.

Yeah, that's a good point. But the real question is how much will CU make in the Pac 12 in 2011 vs. what we'd get if we stayed in the Big 12.
None of it makes any difference, though, the Big 12 won't want to play with 11 teams in 2011. I doubt that the Big 12 makes out much better financially if CU stays and gets a 1/2 share of revenues than if they play with 10 teams.
I think CU is doing the right thing, just wait for the Big 12 to blink.

That's what I was hoping you'd say....
Pot meet kettle - when the Mack 10 implodes PPSU can move to the Kansas AC or whatever the hell it is. Would be an easy transition since you guys schedule most of those D2 teams anyway.
This is going to work out just fine. Just negotiating. Let it play out. Here's something to noodle on... Supposedly the little 6 agreed to let the asshole 4 keep all the exit fees. What happens if a proposed settlement with us and nu has to be voted on? How much crap will the little 6 be willing to eat in order to line the bullies' pockets? I can't wait to watch the trainwreck

Colorado staying in until 2012 means that Colorado gets a piece of the new Big 12 TV package for the next two years. Assuming a new Big 12 TV package actually exists, that is.

What, is the bigTex conference going to 10 conf games in '11? Do we have to cancel 2 OOC's and pay out the ying yang?
Gee, maybe we can talk the macksters into this -- each north team gets an auto win (forfeit) on behalf of the nubbies. Sounds fair to me.
Yes we would be taking a piece of the Big 12 pie which would not sit well with ku, baylor, osu etc..... Stay strong Bohn!

agree, on both points.

I wonder if this will pull the Pac10 into the fray. I'm sure they'd rather have even numbers for conference scheduling. In fact, it seems that neither the bigMac conference nor the Pac10 would want to do one year with 11 members. jmho
These must be some fun negotiations that Bohn is going through right now. Guys gotta be busy as hell.

That's allsome! Of course we'd just give the revenue to aTm, OU and Texas as gratitude for staying put.

You are right there - plus we save a ton of money.
Only 50% of Big 12 income lost if we leave after 2012 vs 80% if we leave after this year. We can use that money saved to replace dip$hit.
New conference and new coach - sounds good.

I just addressed that in remarks. Not that the entire football watching world is reading the Cougar board. But one fanbase at a time...

That should be tweeted/facebooked all over the place to help spread the word. It might not do much, but it could.
You're Walto Clown? Kudos to you if so. Nice post to set the record straight on the ability to buyout Hawk...

That's me. "The Walrus" and "Walus" were both reserved by members.

Giving up 50% of your income for two years is typically more than giving up 80% of your income for one year. It is less than a certainty that staying in the Big XII for 2011 saves CU anything.

Perhaps CU can afford a $5 million hit, but not a $8 million hit - in a given year. Also figure in that CU is going to be paying Hawkins $2 mil to leave in a few months.
That's not how it's being interpreted by the Big 12.
2 years notice = an 50% hit for the two years prior to leaving. --> Big 12 withholds 50% of revenue for next two years. (~$5m per year for $10m total)
1 years notice = an 80% hit for the two years prior to leaving. --> Big 12 withholds 80% of revenue this year and seeks payment for 80% of revenue from last year. (~$8m per year for $16m total)
