I'll take that as a compliment, especially when compared to that b.s.
If the B12 remains intact and moves forward
- Thread starter Win5002
- Start date
We would need 10 teams or an NCAA waiver for a CCG, so the only sure way to keep a CCG at that point would be to send two invites to start early. BYU has no buyout or exit period so they would seem like the obvious choice if they are going to get an invite anyway. Maybe we play with 9 and get a CCG waiver, and we can fill up the extra non-con slot with SEC teams who cancel when they go from 8 to 9 conference games with the OU and UT additions.
That's true Captain Obvious, but not on point.
The discussion relates to Big12 expansion and worthy choices.
For being a G5 school with limited financial resources Bearcat fans support their team based on getting 36k to games. They also have a history of winning football games. They lost by 3 to Georgia last year and over last 10 years have a pretty solid record against P5 opponents
Cincy would be a great add for Big12 and create a rival for WVU.
An Amazon bid would only be marginally more than what any other media provider would pay, enough to overcome whatever hesitation the Big 12 might have about jumping to a different paradigm with its own inherent risks. It might include the potential for viewership bonuses, but I don't know if you can really expect more than that.
Home and away with KAnsas in the same season. My HS had to do that one year when a team combined with another over the summer and other teams had full schedules. It was awkward.
Even if OU and UT pay their exit fee, don't they lose their tv revenue even if it is in the SEC (Grant of Rights)? So if ESPN is going to make $75 million a year including say OU and UT, wouldn't they owe the Big 12 $75 million per year until 2025 when the Big 12 contact ends?
If OU and UT leave early after saying they are sticking around until 2025. B12 gets to hand OU and UT a bill for lost revenue from a title game until they can line up decent replacements.
The big XII just doesn’t distribute to them. The media companies pay the b12 office and the b12 office divvies it up.
What happens if they are in the SEC and we didn't release them from the GOR, the SEC office provides OU's and UT's tv payout to the Big 12 office?
Yes and No...
There are 2 parts to this
1) Tx and Ou early exit fees. That is estimated to be $80 Mil
2) GoR. It does not matter if Texas and Ou pay exit fees. The big 12 owns their media rights for home games until 2025 season starts.
So what this means is if Tx and Ou play a home game vs any team in 2022-2025 then all that $$ goes to the big 12 but I believe only the amount it would get in the big 12 i.e. $28 Mil a year or whatever it was per team.
The big 12 can give up those Media rights but you better believe they are gonna use that Ace in hand to get ESPN to 1) continue to pay big 12 its full media payout thru 2025 along with any other new member added to the conference thru 2025.
I bet it is 8 to 10k for Big10 opponents that travel well. Schools like OSU or Mich probably 15k.
The Big12 has a contract with ESPN and FOX. The two networks pay the Big12 for example $400M. The Big12 then distributes $40M to each school. It can vary slightly by school based on Playoff or Bowl appearances.
So if UT & OU leave the Big12 they leave behind their share of the $400M.
There is the argument that ESPN/Fox would want to rework the deal since OU &UT left the Big12. And that is why Bowlsby went after ESPN with the cease & desist.
Anyone who wants to play us, preferably a "name" school so we get good exposure when we beat them.
Question: can streaking servces, unlike TV networks, accurately monitor the extra number of devices watching each advertisement placed in live streaming content? Would that lead to payouts based on how well the content delivered eyeballs? I wonder if a any potential conference/college streaming service contract therefore would be very different from the cable/network deals we’ve seen in the past which guarantee payouts regardless of viewership.
Well, BYU has a bigger stadium and bump us to #2 in size, so they aren’t coming.
jimlad:
Regarding your last paragraph, people who say that have their head up their rear. Why? Because they may leave the conference but the big XII can still give them their home games so it would be difficult to adjust it much. If the SEC is SO MUCH MoRE valuable, guess what, we can give you at least 12 games a year involving SEC teams.
