    Is this b/c Michigan/Fox gets the coverage and the money vs Texas/SEC or Texas/B12 if forced to stay?

    I just hope the remaining 8 Big 12 schools remind everyone from the PAC and soon to be ACC that comes crawling of their partnership to try and kill the Big 12.

    So do we go after the 4 corner schools or try for Oregon/Washington?

    With the B1G not having a commissioner it makes sense to go for OU/UW right now.

    I was just wondering how the B1G is going to approach all this happening so quickly without a commissioner in place.

    I would assume if you can't get Oregon and Washington now you take everyone else and force them. They can't go indy.

    they will go after all six but most likely just get the four corners imo

    I feel like their feelings on Washington and Oregon would change if they were forced to make a decision. I’m still not fully convinced they aren’t trying to get UCLA and USC parters out west.

    the harsh reality seems to be that the tv networks do not value Pac programs outside USC and UCLA for much more than the late night time slot content they provide. Oregon and Washington are worth the most, but it doesn’t seem to be enough to bring the B1G’s per team average up, at least not yet

    and if espn and fox can get those time slots cheaper through the big 12 then that is what they’ll do.

    The B1G should drop a couple bottom feeders to accommodate, it’s the only way to get the average up. That or add notes dame

    eventually it heads here, when they can’t add schools to increase revenue, they’ll drop others. that’s when this stuff becomes really unnecessarily cruel

    Been rough for that state the last 50 years with just 1 title…then to get their first cfp team and 65-7 happens to them. If youre going to mediocre you might as well get paid more to do it.
