    I thought it was more of several pac 12 schools being pussys and wanting easier non conference schedules

    Didn’t the PAC pull out? Think USC didn’t want it or something

    I think the commissioners agreed to the partnership thing, but Scott didn't have the support of the schools and it got shot down. Which is when everyone should have known Larry Scott was going to be a train wreck.

    So I might’ve missed it, but is there any truth to the deal where if they give 18 months notice they can buyout of the Big XII grant of rights?

    Those are some compelling arguments. Maybe next time, SEC.

    The Oklahoman article I posted yesterday said that. But the buyout would be really expensive. Lawyers are about to do some lawyerin’.

    yall will just spread out the $75m over [x] number of years, or just wait it out until 2025 (which is a 1 year delay until you get the ESPN/ABC money)

    my guess is the SEC tv deal with UT/OU will be a bit more than $60m per year

    I think that’s right actually. My recollection is it broke down because the conferences agreed to play based on rankings and some of the pac 12 teams wanted to be able to play down
