IOWA STATE TO BIG TEN?!? Dave Wannstedt thinks so.

[jdoggivjc]

Ummm... I am hard pressed to think of a more attractive option than the B10.

In fact... If we have a B10 landing spot we should burn this sucker to the ground right now. Screw the GOR and that OuT money. Get 'er done and go.

I would agree. That being said, I think what's going on with the Big 10, ACC, Pac 12 and Big 12 (whom I think is an unnamed member of this "alliance") is sticking the SECSPN and OuT with as much damages and embarrassment as possible before the remaining Big 12 members dissolve the conference and the other three conferences carve up the pieces they want.

There is a way.

I said this weeks ago but I'll repeat, b10 is the fallback if the b12 implodes. JP knows with certainty this but there could be more attractive options for us as well.

Yes, ISU would certainly stay in the B12 for a new tv contract that gives them 20-25M TOPS per year instead of jumping "yesterday" if that was an option to the B1G for 60-70M+.

Tim Brando is another Fox employee who had an interesting tweet awhile back. Herbstreit had said on ESPN that he didn’t like how greed was ruining college football and Brando pushed back and said college football is progressing and it’s a great thing.

When fans of Big 12 schools tweeted back at Brando, he responded kind of dickishly and implied that there would be other super conferences, our institutions have options now and in the future, and specifically mentioned ISU to the Big Ten as a possibility. I thought he was being pie in the sky and didn’t really care based on the way he came off, but he also said something like “nobody has fought for these schools as hard as I have”.

Someone does not understand Grant of Rights.

You think OuT will be playing in the Big 12 until 2025?

I think they bolt after this season, then try dragging it out through some kind of mediation to arrive at a lesser $$$ amount.

Hope you are right.

Lol. I understand Grant of Rights. I also don't think OuT will be playing in the Big 12 after this season. Do you?

Some of us are working on contingency planning...

This is the time of year when sports networks get their play by play and color guys on TV broadcasts together to discuss rule changes and changes in network production.
Just a guess: Fox Sports had their football guys together in Phoenix. Wannstedt identifies guys from TV broadcasting crews covering the B!G as "Big Ten people" and was passing along rumors he heard from them at the bar or on the golf course. Again, another guess: I doubt Dave Wannstedt is in a position to hear the Big Ten's actual plans from actual Big Ten officials. None of whom who would be in the know would have any reason to be at a pre-season gathering of television people.
ISU may indeed get to the B1G. Don't get overly excited, however, about rumors passed along by an old Pittsburgh/Chicago coach.

So can we count Wanstadt, Brando and the ACC commish saying the Big 12 is important in P5 sports toward the ever-important “nearly double-digit source” metric?

 

[Hayes30]

The Big 12 will stay around long enough to get its money from Texas and Oklahoma. After that everyone will eventually go their separate ways.

Nope that's Iron Man. See above.

That’s funny. And the more I look at it, is quite disturbing.

 

[jdoggivjc]

This is a really bad take. The Big 12 is gone. If we are in some revamped Big 12, we are ******. The Pac 12 option is better, but still not good at all. The only option where Iowa State is not screwed beyond belief is the Big 10.

If we had a chance at the Big 10, we'd go today

I don't think we're screwed beyond belief in the Pac 12, but it's clearly a distant plan B to the Big 10 plan A.

Clearly he's a bit emotional about sacrificing for ISU.

 

[HoopsTournament]

Lol. I understand Grant of Rights. I also don't think OuT will be playing in the Big 12 after this season. Do you?

The only way they won’t is if they pay about $200m each. That is the approximate value of their exit fee plus the revenue from their Tier I and II games. Anything less than that will mean that they are still playing. They will not risk going to the SEC when they don’t even have rights to air their own home games.

 

[Yellow Snow]

Lol. I understand Grant of Rights. I also don't think OuT will be playing in the Big 12 after this season. Do you?

I for one don't.

Don't have a clue what will happen monetarily to make it that way, but they ain't playing in the B12 past this year.

Somebody needs to make that their avatar.

I would agree. I'm not saying the Big 12 is lasting to 2025, and I'm not saying that the remaining Big 12 is getting a full buyout. But anyone that thinks that SECSPN and OuT are getting out of this thing by next year for 8 rolls of quarters clearly doesn't understand how any of this works.
