If they can show football isn't a fluke, they'd have to be under serious consideration for the Pac12.
I think recent football success gets prioritized by fans and media way more than it does by networks and entities. They can game everything out with data when it comes to brand viability, future brand viability, potential ROI, etc.
Would you hypothetically rather have Tulane or Nebraska even if you penciled in Tulane to go to a NY6 bowl for the next 2 years (for 3 in a row) and Nebraska going 7-5 and 6-6 in those upcoming two years?
“Great academics and it’s somewhere in the giant state of Texas”…and no one gives a ****.
PAC12 dorks: WANT
Not if the majority of those teams have a home, there is no penalty right? I don't pay attn to this circus, it just raises my BP. Knowing how I felt back in 2010, I don't wish that on any school's fanbase.
Yep, the driving factor for the media networks/platforms is potential viewers. That has been largely driven by media market in the past, but is shifting more to alumni base and fan engagement as the streaming platforms are emerging as viable partners.
If a school has a home lined up, they don't get a vote on the matter to dissolve. It's a conflict of interest. There's no vote to dissolve unless everyone has a home in the B10, SEC or B12. And then there's the issue of ND, who clearly wants to stay a fb independent and being a partial ACC member solves a lot of headaches (5 Ffb games, home for their other sports).
The ACC threatening to break up the GOR is a smokescreen. They are trying to threaten ESPN to increase the payout. They say 8 teams are needed to break up the GOR. So reports are not 4, 5, 6, or 8 but 7, close enough to disband but not enough to trigger a meltdown mode. And all 7 wouldn't have homes in the Big 10/SEC.
I guess that depends on what "home lined up," means. Does that mean written offer and acceptance to join a conference? Or would that mean behind the scenes talks have happened?
From what we have seen, a school has to request in writing to join a conference, and then the conference formally accepts in writing.
8 would be a simple majority. So without knowing for certain, logic would indicate that would be the absolute minimum.
Right but do we know that the 7 are actually all on the same page? That seems like rumor mill territory.
Oh you absolutely take Nebraska if you're in a position to get to be picky.
The Pac12, however, isn't going to be in a position to be picky and whatever is left of the Pac12 plus what they take from the MWC is still a better deal for an SMU or Tulane than staying in the AAC is going to be.
LMAO. ESPN puts out content saying that the ACC teams are going to leave in the next few years.
There are a lot of people making stuff up then making predictions based on that
