This comes after the surprise meeting on Friday to discuss the “Pac-12 contract” in a private session.

Does every BOR publish their meetings like this, or is CU just making news because they are the only one that makes a habit of specifically making a public notice of every meeting, whether it is important or not.

The BOR in Iowa posts a notice and agenda before every meeting they have. Part of the rules surrounding public meetings.

Would some of that come from their ACC payout, something like 75-15=60mm?
I think they want just 75 from NBC so the ACC portion gets them closer to equal the B1G. 75+15 = 90
Closer to the 80 to 100 per school average that is reported for the B1G.

I just find it odd that non of these other schools BORs are having meetings of any kind. Or that CUs are the only one anyone is watching.

I thought they had to give public notice, but I didnt know how much they really did/could skirt that rule, and if it depended on the subject matter on what meetings were published.

I guess I didnt know if these were subject to the same "Public meeting" rules etc if they are technically not public. etc.

I am sure some of you guys know more about how these BORs are governed than I do and can give me some insight.

That Scheer report (Arizona 247 guy) behind the paywall also has stuff about Knight. He’s basically going off on his own trying to get the B1G or SEC to take Oregon. He’s doing it all on his own and the Pac-12 ADs are not happy with him. Must be hard to have to deal with that when you are trying to see if sticking together can make sense.

Scheer didn’t say this here but I believe he has said in a previous report that Knight is basically dead set on getting in the B1G or SEC and sees the Big 12 as far below Oregon. Not clear what happens when both those leagues tell him to lose their phone numbers though. But I wouldn’t be surprised if Knight tried to get Oregon to go independent and agreed to fund the program through that time because he is so delusional about the B1G eventually taking them.

What might T.Boone Pickens have done for Okie St when OuT bailed for the SEC?
Or better to ask, what would he NOT have done???

I am sure it varies by state, as do the ways a board may circumvent those rules.

It may also vary in each state to which degree the regents are involved in this decision. Look at UCLA, which was able to make the move without prior Regents approval.

Colorado may be a state where the regents are more directly involved.

NBC is ramping up the USA Network to offer sports OTA. I think something like 98% of cable households have access to it.

How many know to watch sports on it?

Likely showing my age, as people are more channel blind now, but lead-ins, hype, and context still have an impact on ratings and exposure. I think conferences and games do benefit from all the promotion that comes on their 24/7 channels.

In the end, whatever allows the Big 12 to expand with PAC and continue on the path to P3 will be good. T1 on a NBC (playing off the ND draw) and replacing that afternoon SEC game on CBS with Big 12 would be a near 180 from where things looked last summer. Then T2 on USA and/or something like FS1, and the P3 can compete as the "other guy". ISU would have equal or better exposure, CFP access than before

I'm fine with the B12 telling Oregon to lose our number as well if this is accurate. They sound like Tea$ junior. I think the parity, equality, and frankly lack of better options in the new B12 is how we find our strength and stability. Bringing in a school that feels they are above us and is looking to ditch us before they even get here undermines all of that.
Amen.

Another thing about CU is they have been through it once already. So the regents may have put a process in place the last time for future moves and discussions. So CU has to operate within that framework.

Generally speaking, if it's an entity with elected membership (public institution B's of R would apply), it's subject to Open Meetings Act. Some exceptions could apply, but that's a blanket basic.

CU's recent meetings are getting more attention than normal, for obvious reasons with this topic ... so a lot of meetings tend to go unnoticed.

“…B12 is far below Oregon.“
