What everyone keeps forgetting in realignment...

The issue is that once the contract is up, or if there are provisions that void

Sure, but by how much?

You're assuming the Big 12 $$$ doesn't shrink with Texas and Oklahoma gone

Cincy, USF, and UConn benefitted from leftover BE media deal and exit fees

Doogal McCougar

They'd have jumped because they were no longer going to be in

Hmmm. Interesting take. Safe v. best? Look at TCU, Texas Tech, and Kansas

Factor in a $76M buyout for those teams to leave the Big 12.

BlueSteel2021

That's about $18M per team, IF TX and OK leave early AND pay the full amount

Let's walk through the math together on your argument.

There are NO scenarios where a depleted B12 is more valuable than the PAC as is.

There is a scenario.

Never work in absolutes

How is this better than a conference with USC, Oregon, Washington? Why would any

NotTokolosh

7/26/21 5:58pm

The PAC 12 is not very good and not very well respected east of Colorado

SportsRoad

7/26/21 6:01pm

Okay. But my point remains. Your imaginary conference is not better.

The money benefits you list are short term. What happens in 2025, when

see my reply above on this point.

I don’t think they keep the tv contract if Texas and ou leave early

Taccoug

7/26/21 1:37pm

Nope. If they stay at 8, no renegotiation required. But 2025 numbers will see a change.

7/26/21 1:39pm

You read that somewhere? Link?

Apparently, last go round ESPN bought out a provision requiring they get to 12. So they don;t have to.

Dennis Dodd reporting that the contract includes drop in teams caluse:

Wrong category!

Sorry- don't know how to change it.

BlueSteel2021

7/26/21 2:05pm

You think ESPN will pay the same $ if TX and OK leave??

Bolso

7/26/21 2:39pm

You assume ESPN has the right under the contract

BlueSteel2021

7/26/21 2:41pm

Nope. He understands that ESPN will not pay $$$ it doesn't have to

Doogal McCougar

7/26/21 3:07pm

Sadly for ESPN, the contract says they have to until 2025.

BlueSteel2021

7/26/21 4:09pm

The networks get the $75m early out from OU and Texas…

I don't think anybody is forgetting that.
