I feel like I got blasted for making this same comment.
**** your feelings.
Early exit for Texas, Oklahoma to SEC could be aided by future nonconference games at Big 12 stadiums
The Longhorns and Sooners hope to join the SEC in 2024, a year before presently scheduled

The Pac-12 remains without a new media rights deal. With their prospects seemingly diminishing, the likes of Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado and Utah could potentially be lured to the Big 12. The idea would be to convince those schools they could make more money in the Big
The Pac 12 prospects seemingly diminishing... This is the key phrase that caught my eye.
I didn't even need to click on that article to know it came from Dennis Dodd based on that quote. Dude is a B12 hack and mouthpiece.Early exit for Texas, Oklahoma to SEC could be aided by future nonconference games at Big 12 stadiums

Interesting. If true, it's certainly better than what we've had...but is it good enough.
With the massive success that Amazon has been for TNF this year and the way TV content is consumed now, I don't really see a different between Amazon, CBS, NBC, ESPN and Fox to be honest. In fact, Amazon sports is probably going to be easier for more people to access and will have more avenues of which to acces it through mobile and tablet as pretty much everyone already pays for Amazon Prime. Plus, it doesn't rely on distributors that potentially black out certain networks (Comcast is currently in dispute with FOX and it's probably going to black out the network soon, just like Dish did last year). Add to all this, that Amazon could very likely get the rights to NFL Sunday Ticket, which is only going to attract more people to it.
Have seen rumors around that it would pay out more than the Big 12 (repeated above) and would be a relatively short contract.
Seems like a win/win really. Prolongs the life span of the Pac10, increases distribution and access in a massive way, and if it doesn't work out everyone is back to the negotiation table and hopefully CU is back as a competitive and desirable football brand.

I agree it will improve access. I guess I wonder what the length of the agreement would be. Slightly higher than the Big 12 is certainly better than what we have. If CU is choosing between this deal and the rumored B12 offer, I'm not sure which is better. Maybe it really doesn't matter if we're playing a 'short game' while we get our **** together in order to have more options down the road.
EDIT: What S2S said.
looks like Bezos will keep getting my money. So damn convenient.
Only difference is that you have to open a different App on your TV to watch the game, so channel surfing between games is harder. Could be a problem for casual fans. But for us? sweet.
Honestly, the idea of going to the Big 12 is dead, IMO. It doesn't make sense until the next round of expansion, which will certainly be the one that shapes the entire CFB landscape going forward and likely close off access to the playoff to any program not in the B1G and SEC.
So the difference is actually favoring Amazon.
That aspect has to be worth a whole lot more to advertisers (and Amazon), though
Agree...unless other teams jump ship. Then all bets are off.
Good point. And it makes 2d screening even easier. Only real downside of going all Amazon is that we lose the ESPN fellatio. That feels less and less relevant these days though.
That's he part I hate. Anytime there are commercials it's a PITA to get out of the app and then back in.
Any idea how bars/restaurants are dealing with Amazon Thursday night games ? Do most have it ?
Personally I'm sick of the PAC12 and once USA/UCLA are gone I'm not thrilled with SDSU and a Fresno or SMU taking their places.
dark horse has no problem having thursday night NFL games on when I'm there.
I realize I'm in a minority of sports fans here, but Amazon Prime's lack of an integrated DVR makes this less desirable than being on regular network TV or even something like the ACC Network, where i can easily record and watch later
Prime Video now has a built-in DVR option for select Live Streams
Amazon recently redesigned its Prime Video app across a multitude of devices and one of the new features that has been added is the option to record some live streams offered within the app, like you would with a cloud DVR.

Amazon prime currently has about 150 million US customers. That's about 145 million more people than have the P12 network. Seems OK.

Thanks.
Never saw that. Will try to record Thursday's NFL game.
I don’t think you need to record anything unless maybe you’re trying to watch a game from a different season. You can go on Prime right now and watch any TNF game from this year. It also gives you the option to start from the beginning if you click on a live game.
Bars don't change the channel of network games, so I don't know why they would treat Amazon games any differently
yea, I don't even know how to square a dollar sign.
