distribution, but performance incentives are fine. Unequal baseline amounts are the foundation for instability. Awards for making tourneys and playoffs fine.

From McMurphy…FSU unlikely to join Big Ten or SEC:

The reason really ends at "doesn't make financial sense." Everything else is

Corn Pop

Jul 16, 7:16am

But Utah does…

The yewts have told us repeatedly as 2x RB loser...Invite coming soon!

Yeah, but they're great partners. Heard Stanford's scheduled for surgery to remove some red lips from their rear.

Some thought FSU to the Big12 was crazy talk

The exact same.

I still think it's unlikely, but I see the chances aren't 0% any more

thewaterboy

They have had third party talks with the Big12

CougarCanuck76

Jul 16, 7:54am

Would love it, but I'm not getting my hopes up at this point.

thewaterboy

Jul 16, 8:12am

That basically makes the Big 12 a lock then right?

2036 is forever away though. By then the NBA could be a good product

TNT

How far is 2027?

CougarCanuck76

Jul 16, 7:27am

Far

TNT

Reincarnated David Stern would only be 16 years old at that time, though.

Or they leverage the big 12 news for an uneven ACC deal

GlutealGuy

Jul 16, 7:28am

The ACC is currently begging these two to accept an uneven deal with the ACC

Explain how they don’t make financial sense but the Minnesota Gophers do.

Yukon

Jul 16, 7:22am

The Gophers aren't asking to get in.

Corn Pop

Jul 16, 7:23am

Gophers are everywhere. Seminoles not so much

Adding vs replacing

Not in the next round of tv negotiations.

*Golden Gophers. It's the gold that makes them so valuable.

foofcoug

Jul 16, 7:25am

With nowhere else to go, they have no leverage

Never under any circumstances should you have a conference with unequal base

Mitty

They always have the leverage of the existing ACC

From McMurphy’s article 😂:

Humble pie has a sweet aftertaste once you get past the bitter part. 😄😄😄😄😄

NOCAL_YFAN

I kind of like that the B12 has a chip on their shoulder.

Benfica1

Jul 16, 8:48am

There's one major difference there

krindorr

Jul 16, 9:45am

Even if SEC/B1G want either, this is probably good messaging legally

SlyCoug

The article goes on in a lot of detail ...

Nothing would be better than the BIG saying Utah obviously isn’t a team player

GlutealGuy

Jul 16, 7:35am

Any chance the B1G ever kicks out Nebraska due to not being AAU?

thewaterboy

Jul 16, 7:34am

No chance.

Conan

Jul 16, 7:37am

That's too bad. They could have been a nice add as well and way to entice FSU

thewaterboy

Jul 16, 7:41am

FSU has been an Independent before. Maybe they go back to that.

BlueFever

Jul 16, 7:39am

B1G/SEC: “FSU is too disruptive as a conference member.” Also B1G/SEC:….

NOCAL_YFAN

Jul 16, 7:41am

Utah when seeing the B1G doent like disruptive partners.

Longseason

Jul 16, 7:46am

Utah fans don’t factor. Utah the school and program are good partners.

Utah destroyed the P12

Longseason

“Good” and “competent” can be different things.

flyonawall

Jul 16, 11:18am

Incompetency can be painted across the entire P12. Who held the supreme power is

CallSign

Jul 16, 12:05pm

Utah led the way. Completely overestimated value and destroyed negotiations

Unibro

Jul 16, 2:56pm

Wow, Utah had that much sway? Nah, this is CB narrative.

CallSign

Jul 17, 11:58am

FSU's been a disruptive partner? ACC, Big Ten, Pac 12 Alliance ...

KCFan85

Jul 16, 7:53am

Also FSU to their lawyers when they find out they need the whole ACC to collapse

Sorry if pointed out but "& ACC survives" is an important phrase.

Disruptive Partner, haha, pretty funny they say that

Dr T-bone

For now it doesn't make financial sense. The age of big TV contracts
