I would think that Oregon and Washington are worth around than $50M. Then Arizona State & Utah are worth $40M+.
After that it gets a bit sketchy with CU probably around $30M. Arizona around $25M.
Stanford & Cal probably aren't worth much to Big12 vs Big10 which gets carriage fees for the BTN.
But in the end, a 16-20 team conference might be worth more to a TV partner than separate conferences or the top 12 schools. Having games in 4 time zones that span East to West coast might have a lot of value to a media partner to combat ESPN & Fox's inventory.
CBS & NBC appetite for content will obviously play a big part in Big12 media rights $.
They went from 3-6 to 5-8 and when he did it last they were in the Big East. They went 2-7 in the Big 10 and only beat bad Illinois and Indiana teams. Again, I'll have to see it to believe it.
Taste the water and have flat cakes at Hoiberg's parent's house.
Schiano's also a ticking time bomb. There's a pretty good chance that Rutgers' liability insurance rates increased simply by hiring him.
They haven't beat a team with a winning record yet. Their fate also rests in the hands of the Big 10 in how they split up the conference. If they're stuck in the east again or something similar they have very little chance of being good.
just your typical 16 university 7 billion dollar non profit organization
move along everybody
move along everybody
Thanks for posting.
Couple of notes:
The media deal the PAC10 gets would likely forced to include an out clause for Stanford, Ore, Wash for them to sign. Big 12 should act now and take Pac 12 schools.
"We're not done expanding" is death blow to Pac and ACC if they were holding onto any fantasy that they wouldn't have further defections.
Big 12 is very possibly the best collection of teams that have already been passed over. If it was gonna be KU it would've happened several times already.
Can't be more than 50% athletes either in the whole building, or on a particular floor/wing.
Yeah the language in that article is damming:
“There is already word circulating that the Pac-12 -- in the middle of its own media rights negotiations -- might have to agree to a media rights contract that allows Cal, Oregon Stanford and Washington an "out" if approached by another conference.”
The other issue for them, uneven revenue distribution.
“They have plenty of leverage. That has led to speculation Oregon and Washington could agree to stay in a reconstituted Pac-12 with an uneven revenue distribution paying the Ducks and Huskies more than other programs. If the pair make that demand, what option would commissioner George Kliavkoff have to consider?”
PAC is dead. It’s over PAC I’m hoping the four corners are making calls to the big 12
Big ten is heavily pursuing UW,OU, CAL, Stanford to own that “late night window”. The PAC was hinging their wagon to that big ten said hold my beer, it’s over PAC. PAC did bad business for a decade and that’s why it’s over.
The sickem365 people had someone on the other day that basically justified it like this:
Paraphrasing: "Your typical P5 university has 16 or more athletics programs. Only 2, of those make money and subsidize the other 14. In a for-profit business, typically you would cut those non-profitables entites out. However, the universities cannot for a variety of reasons, including title 9." - He said this is why they are likely to remain non-profits in the near future.
The CAL BOR just made it hard for CAL to do this now. They basically said that any future move by California institutions would have to be approved by the BOR. Also, they asked to "model a future where CAL goes to Division 3."
I don't think CAL is going to the Big 10. I could totally see Stanford moving though.
I'd be shocked if Arizona was targeted.
