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

Utah would increase the Big 12s football prestige, full stop, as would ASU.
I would believe the Big 12 is interested in increasing its football prestige if those two jumped the line in front of UA.
would Utah increase the money? Prestige is short term. Money is in the bank.
The money stays the same because the contract is already done and accounts for adding P5 schools pro rata.
Utah is gonna suck balls when Whitt leaves and they hire their Dorrell. Unlike us, they don’t have enough prestige and goodwill to limp out of it like we did. Send them to the plank
Is that confirmed? Seems like a bad idea for the networks, but hey, whatever.
If they go to 20 with the west coast additions, I can’t imagine they view CU in their plans with ND and ACC programs down the road. CU should focus on the SEC over the next 7 years if that’s the case.
Only up to 14 teams, then it depends as I understand it.
So, the latest check of how the winds are blowing:
OU, UW, Cal & Stanford all counting on a B1G life raft & the B1G is evaluating
UA expected to announce for the Big 12
Big 12 might or might not want to expand beyond 14
I don't see taking all 5 from the Pac-9 if the B1G takes 4. I think that there's interest in having flexibility in the near future after some G5s have invested & shown results along with having room if the ACC breaks. I "think" 16 is the max number right now unless something dramatic happens with the ACC based on whatever FSU is doing.

Good point. @Darth Snow ESPN has pro rata for others but i guess FOX is pro rata up to 16 with OR and WA. So we’ll see I guess
Hmm. Whatever the pro rata thing actually is, if it's viable, if I was a 4 corner school I'd be bailing for the B12 immediately based on what's out there.
Although this all feels momentous and like anything could happen, it's all short term. Whatever happens, it's all getting blown up again in the next round of negotiations after the subscriber/streaming wars settle out. Not a surprise. Only schools that may be locked in and ****ed for that round are the locked in B12 and the ACC. And of course, the Oregon State's of the world are just ****ed.

UW OU have been pining for a B1G invite for the past year. Now they may have a chance to get it while claiming that they are just accepting a lifeline, not destroying the Pac. Meanwhile, CU gets all sorts of hate for their less greedy move of greater geographic logic. CU's move also motivated by the Pac's inherent instability, mostly because of UW UO's willingness to bolt for B1G and unequal revenue demands (evidenced by the proposal yesterday). It would be interesting to see how low they would be willing to accept. Karma should give them a share close to the B12 amount. Then they can have all the travel and tough CFP road with none of the money. But they would still be happy because they get to feel "elite". F** those guys.
This adds 48 games, possibly. TBS might be interested. The B1G is properly exploring.
They are thinking the P12 deal still looks OK.
I love being in the life boat so I can piss off the side onto the rats begging for a hand. What a refreshing change of scenery
Pretty sure we see all 4 corners in B12 as long as AZ moves over.
Cal and Stanford eases the travel on the west coast schools, they give the B1G the bay area, and the B1G also likes the academic prestige they would bring.
They would obviously come in at a reduced share.
Haha. Academic prestige.
I wonder if Fox is going to be willing to pony up for the pro rata for two more schools if they have to add money for the B1G expansion of four schools.

On this note can Colorado start calling all the Oregon and Wash recruits to offer them a life line to actually be seen next year.
B1G not denying the rumors
The distance from LA to SF is about the same as Happy Valley to Ann Arbor. The west coast schools are not close. I think it's more about academic prestige, student recruiting markets and time zone so the rest of the conference would not have to play night home games in the cold to satisfy media contracts.
The conference is barely paying more than the American
@#1 pick is buying ESPN too
The Rose will be part of the 12-team playoff format
