If they only take 2 of the 4 corners, they'll add Phoenix and Denver markets.

Also, what kind of insanity does it take to think UU is safer than UO and UW?

Seems like Wilner's latest mailbag has been the most pesemistic so far

I'm so glad to finally be in the B12. Finally on the inside looking out.

Big12 should invite Oregon and Washington without making them sign a GOR

I think this sends the wrong message

RWaters

1/28/23 3:38pm

Why? Brings more money for the Big12 and UW/UO for however long they stay.

ldssdl

1/28/23 3:44pm

Because it creates a distinction between members; PAC will die on its own and

RWaters

1/28/23 3:53pm

Would the other Big12 members would be loyal to the conference over a B10

ldssdl

1/28/23 3:57pm

They wouldn't bring in any more money. Contract would increase only enough to cover them at current rate.

ManicBlue

1/28/23 4:24pm

It's been reported there's escalator clauses in the new TV deal...

tacallaway

1/28/23 5:10pm

Sure the escalator clause will raise the overall contract to cover any additional P5 teams added at current rate, but

ManicBlue

1/28/23 5:25pm

B12 could absolutely get UO and UW if the B10 doesn't come calling.

tacallaway

I'll believe that when I see it.

Is this wrong message different from the ones from the SEC and B1G?

I don’t care if the Big12 leads to the demise of the PAC - just don’t want

Agreed. Take the money they bring the conference for however long

It's more than a few million less per year per school.

Wilner still overestimating the value of the Pac. No one else is saying the difference between the Pac and the Big 12 is

There’s zero chance they don’t get more than the current $25 million per team.

jimmything

Zero chance? After losing the SoCal market and not able to get Oregon/Washington to sign a GOR? hmm ... ute math?

ManicBlue

1/30/23 11:55am

There's been multiple reports that could have the PAC in the ~$25m range.

All I want is for UU to get shafted!

tacallaway

1/28/23 5:12pm

Because UW and O would never go to the Big 12.

TFL

1/28/23 7:47pm

So you're saying UO and UW are going to the B10 100%?

tacallaway

1/28/23 8:04pm

Nah…

TFL

1/28/23 9:52pm

You seriously think UO and UW, if B10 is impossible, will choose to just die?

tacallaway

1/28/23 10:20pm

Not at all. None of these programs are going away. That's silly to jump to that conclusion. By safe I mean

College football is not a meritocracy, winning alone doesn't make you P5.

tacallaway

1/29/23 11:53am

CFB is a meritocracy. It's exactly why all 3 BCS busters in the last era jumped to better conferences.

TFL

1/29/23 12:14pm

Colorado and West Virginia were BCS busters?

Acorn

1/29/23 12:40pm

Also, what about Boise? More success as a G5 than UU, no invite.

tacallaway

1/29/23 2:01pm

Boise got upgraded to the MWC. Utah, TCU and Boise all jumped up a level. How do you not see that?

TFL

1/29/23 3:29pm

So despite Boise having more success than UU as a G5...

tacallaway

1/29/23 4:34pm

TFL seems to forget that the MWC of 2023 looks much more like the Big West or

TrueBlue67

1/30/23 4:53am

That's a dumb point. BSU only succeeded in the lowly WAC. That's not better performance.

TFL

1/30/23 2:22pm

Boise absolutely performed better than UU. More NY6 games, way better win %.

tacallaway

1/30/23 2:27pm

...but not in the MWC. Where it matters. Few guys skip AAA and go straight to the MLB from AA. Same concept.

TFL

1/30/23 2:32pm

Boise did most of their dominating in the WAC. MWC and WAC were both "AA".

tacallaway

1/30/23 2:36pm

Nah...Boise jumped to the MW quickly because it's significantly superior. Same with Reno, FSU, Utah State.

TFL

1/30/23 4:32pm

Huh? Clearly NY6 bowls haven't gotten Boise to the next level

tacallaway

1/30/23 5:49pm

I think you meant to write ... utah fans are incredibly naive when it comes to utah.

ManicBlue

I think you make my point for me.

TFL

Hahahaha keep dreaming

ManicBlue

1/29/23 4:31pm

Maybe. But BYU fans have been prophesying the fall of Utah FB for 20 years now.

TFL

CougarCanuck76

utah absolutely should hold out for a B1G invite or maybe the SEC will come calling.

ManicBlue

1/28/23 11:47pm

TV ratings like the lowest watched Rose Bowl ever? U have delusions of grandeur.

RossoNeri

Utah falls out of the top 25 pretty quickly once they start playing a non-Pac12 P5 schedule.

I predict Arizona goes to the Big 12 with Gonzaga and the PAC adds SDSU and stays at 10.
