Who do we fill our schedules with next year if OU and Texa$ buy out early?
I'm hoping we don't add anyone and hold out for a B1G/PAC invite in a few years. If we add teams to Big 12 just to fill out a schedule we never get an invite.
That's true Captain Obvious, but not on point.but states with actual professional teams totally impact attention and attendance.
People in Illinois, especially Chicago care about the bears far more than college.
Indiana not only has the colts it also has notre dame, plus they have been terrible
same with Maryland, the Washington football team, and ravens take all the attention during the fall.
same with North Carolina teams and of course Minnesota
And how many visitor tix does Northwestern sell every game?Really. Pretty lame to bring Browns & Bengals into a college football argument. OSU and Bearcat fans can also be Browns, Bengals, Steeler, etc. NFL team fans.
The Bearcats 2019 home attendance was 35,985. That was much higher than Rutgers and close to these other Big10 programs:
Northwestern 37,736
Illinois 36,587
Maryland 37,812
Indiana 41,244
The Bearcat's 2019 attendance was more than: Boston College, Duke, Kansas, Oregon State, Vanderbilt, Wake Forest and Washington State.
So to target Cincy because they lack fan interest seems misplaced when they don't have the athletic department $ of the above.
Yes, but how do you measure "value"? Stewart Mandel's version? Pete Thamel's version? Have either of those two negotiated TV contracts for P5 leagues? Doubtful.
Value to ESPN, FOX, ABC etc isn't quite the same as what Amazon would see as value. Not to mention what nobody talks about in all of this: networks who bid on these conferences have a vested interest in the teams performing well, do they not? So Amazon, getting into the college game for the first time, probably wouldn't have any problem dropping mucho dinero (which they're swimming in) on any and all teams they're involved with. More money to their teams makes it easier for said teams to compete at an elite level. No one seems to grasp this in the sports writing echo sphere.
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.Who do we fill our schedules with next year if OU and Texa$ buy out early?

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 $75 million per year until 2025 when the Big 12 contact ends?Who do we fill our schedules with next year if OU and Texa$ buy out early?

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.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.
The big XII just doesn’t distribute to them. The media companies pay the b12 office and the b12 office divvies it up.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)?

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?The big XII just doesn’t distribute to them. The media companies pay the b12 office and the b12 office divvies it up.
No they would fall under our rights and they pay us the SEC games.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?

I bet it is 8 to 10k for Big10 opponents that travel well. Schools like OSU or Mich probably 15k.And how many visitor tix does Northwestern sell every game?
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.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?

Well, BYU has a bigger stadium and bump us to #2 in size, so they aren’t coming. jimlad:The Candidates for Big XII Expansion: Part I

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.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.
