There’s just no way the Pac12 could be worth more as it currently stands. I’d venture to say their contract will be 8-10 million less per school.
Big 12 nears six-year, $2.28B TV extension deal with ESPN, Fox
Big 12 close to $2.28B media deal with ESPN, Fox
The Big 12 is near completion of a six-year media deal extension with ESPN and Fox Sports that is expected to be worth $380 million a year and will take hold starting in 2025.www.espn.com
Either way the B10 is probably going to add more western schools at some point because you can’t leave USC and UCLA floating out there too long by themselves. Once that happens Pac schools will bail their sinking ship.
There is when you’re not B1G or SEC and eventually shut out
Pure fantasy. Those leagues have made a bit more for a long time and the BIG 12 will still have games on sports networks and broadcast as always. The SEC and B10 getting paid more doesn’t relegate the BIG 12 to non existent status and the money difference isn’t as large as it is painted to be. The base number the SEC and B10 get is being misreported as $100,000,000 per school- but that is really a projection combining what they’ll actually get plus the new playoff payout, bowls, and other amounts.
If you can’t see what the top two conferences are doing, then you have your head buried in the sand. It’s heading to 48 schools, and we need to make sure we’re one of them.
Not sure why he wants the Big 12 to expand west. Most of the television sets are east of the Mississippi. The four corner schools keep getting mentioned but outside of Utah they are some of the worst power 5 programs around. Utah is not adding anything when you already have BYU. Its an overlapping market and not a very big one at that.
Wants PAC teams for 3 reasons.
In the near future no but if the conferences expand to 24 a piece we have a shot. You have to remember FSU, Clemson and ND are really the only blue bloods left on the chess board for the Sec and Big 10. After that its the best of the rest
Expanding west doesn't really help wvu just makes us more of an outlier. The pac 12 schools with the most value don't want to come. CU AZ and Az state are 3 of the worst power 5 teams out there they don't bring value. Whatever happens it still isn't going to change the fact that schools will run when then Sec and Big 10 come calling.
No more beef east.
Much depends on how many teams these conferences plan to add. If they stop at 18 or 20 probably not but if they go above that number teams like wvu start appearing on the radar.
Where's the beef out west? Oregon is the best but we know where they stand
Couple of things are going on here. First off, this is the reason why no one has bailed out of the sinking Pac12. Amazon, Silicon Valley, etc. we will be there only life boat of even keeping that sinking ship together…and it will also have to include a heavier payout for Oregon and Washington Per their request.
If we are still in the Big12 if such a merger with the ACC starts to happen, there will be several schools from both leagues that will not make that cut, WVU would be one of them.
The earliest that is going to happen barring ACC bolting a GOR would be after 2036. Over a decade from now.
