Negative. It's Allbuffs. But this thread is something even more headscratching.So you’re expecting news and insight?

The most cogent post in this thread in days comes from a German posting after 1am.This thread has no real information because there is no public real information. The only real information is fairly confidential at this point.

I 100% understand why there isn't any real information in the thread. The conundrum is how we ended up with 9,100+ posts of people mostly arguing about speculative intel.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Hmm... I evidently have not been clear enough or forceful enough in the expression of my hatred in this thread. Thanks. I'll strive to do better.This thread is like that without the hate
I attended the wedding of one of the sports media execs in the bidding pool for PAC 12 TV rights. I can’t get any inside info. I’d be highly skeptical of anything posted by podcasters and bloggers and even legit newspaper writers. All of the info is either made up or planted info to drive an agenda.
Of legal age and not a cousin.How old was the bride?

We agree. So what’s the number?I attended the wedding of one of the sports media execs in the bidding pool for PAC 12 TV rights. I can’t get any inside info.

SMU is a given at this point. There’s no other Texas entry point other than Rice.Paywall, but Wilner's newsletter dropped some stuff about SMU's valuation and Fox's role in media deal.

Pac-12 expansion: Would SMU create media value? “I think it probably helps,” sports media analyst says

The network got what it wanted and therefore isn’t motivated to bid for Pac-12 rights. But in the Big 12, the situation was reversed.www.mercurynews.com
Oh there’s no way a media deal is announced and then expansion happens later. Maybe they both get announced together, but any media deal is contingent on whether they expand or not.SMU is a given at this point. There’s no other Texas entry point other than Rice.
SDSU makes too much sense to pass up.
If there’s a chance that Gonzaga is in the mix… could there be a delay until they get bounced or win it all? I think GU is as good of an addition as there is. I don’t care if they do not add incremental $$. Gonzaga vs the P12 would be fun to watch and they help with the league rep.
And I never bought into the media rights deal first then expansion. B1G expanded first. That’s what we should do.
Heck, if you're going to do that then I think UNLV and UNM should be considered as an alternate option for non-football. MWC only pays about $7M per school and they could stay for football (like Hawaii) to still get most of that number while getting a significant bump via the Pac for other sports while we add some scheduling alliance stuff for FB to get content + home media market treatment for NV and NM with the Pac media negotiations. That would still keep open the option of adding Gonzaga and Wichita State as non-football.SMU is a given at this point. There’s no other Texas entry point other than Rice.

Possibly. But I've also seen stuff where expansions are anticipated and pre-approved with escalators built in if they happen.Oh there’s no way a media deal is announced and then expansion happens later.

How about Creighton instead of the Shockers?Heck, if you're going to do that then I think UNLV and UNM should be considered as an alternate option for non-football.

12 for football with SDSU & SMU with 16 for basketball with UNLV, UNM, Gonzaga & Wichita State added could be a very attractive package.
I don't think Creighton would ever leave the Big East. It's their perfect fit and pays at least as well for non-football as the Pac would. But, yeah, if they had interest.How about Creighton instead of the Shockers?
Counterpoint - **** Nebraska and everything in that state.I don't think Creighton would ever leave the Big East. It's their perfect fit and pays at least as well for non-football as the Pac would. But, yeah, if they had interest.
