    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Sure but five years of independence (presumably for all sports) is a very real hurdle to go through to qualify. The likes of Miami are better off merging the ACC and B12 and engaging new TV partners (I.e. Paramount/Amazon) with rational realignment amongst those 33 schools and reducing the...

    Weird and onerous conditions for additional ESPN/Fox brand consolidation:

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Yeah, I have got plenty of prior corporate business experience and the sublicensing done with B10 rights (to Fox’s benefit), CFP rights (to ESPN’s benefit) and B12’s rights (to ESPN’s benefit) doesn’t happen with the NFL who pool all of their rights, don’t have sublicensing of rights, and don’t...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    LOL at the “B10 got it right” hot take. Fox got it right with their sublicense deals with NBC and CBS to offset what they pay to the B10 as 100% rights holder. But you are correct that the NFL does things right with multiple rights holders all having access to premium brands and post season...

    LOL, you still childishly think this is about Campbell when it’s about what’s best for ISU and you’ve made it clear as a Purple Hawk that you don’t want what’s best for ISU. You can go eff yourself with Sparty.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    There is a reason why there are anti-trust lawyers always present in B10/SEC joint meetings. If PCSA doesn't get passed, ESPN and Fox will expand the SEC and B10 for their sole benefit and 80%-90% of CFB media revenues will flow to those two conferences and ISU's media payouts will likely be...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Have answered this question multiple times and your impaired brain can't comprehend the consequences. ESPN and Fox don' think highly of ISU and if they get their way, they aren't going to include ISU and 25-30 other ACC/B12 schools in the SEC and B10 and the payout gap between those two...

    You can't read, I clearly mentioned "anti-trust".

    Go eff yourself, Sparty. This isn't about Campbell, this is what's best for ISU and obviously you, Purple Hawk and the Hawks dip$hits here don't give a flip about what's best for ISU.

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    So you really think that if/when the PCSA gets finalized for voting with anti-expansion and other provisions that are reportedly in the process of being agreed to by the SEC and B10 that they are going to then try and beat the clock with additional expansion and brand consolidation? Regardless...

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    B10/SEC can only expand under TBD provisions and one would hope those provisions would prevent financial/competitive relegation of existing ACC/B12 schools which was the original intent of the anti-expansion language (i.e. no more Wazzus getting effed by the networks).

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    #1) B10 and SEC aren't getting their way with the revised anti-expansion language since ESPN/Fox cannot further consolidate top brands (e.g. Miami FL) into those two conferences. Any moves like that "may only be made within a certain framework of parameters yet to be formalized". Will depend...

    The anti-expansion language adjustment is good for ISU as long as the B12 doesn't add more commuter schools like UH. UCF and USF:

    Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

    Will clarify what I posted before, Pete Bevacqua (current ND AD and former NBC exec) and Nick Kahn both testified. Kahn is the President of WWE and is a member of TKO's board of directors but previously had done work on behalf the SEC and others in the media rights space. And as you are well...
