They want to do this so they can move OU and UT to the SEC next year and also pay no exit penalty or grant of rights issues. Nothing about this is in the interests of the 8 schools left.

I know it's not likely but if ESPN is the one that gets disintegrated from this whole thing, it would be glorious.
Has to be trying to KU to jump to the ACC for basketball. ESPN owns the ACC network, its not the big 10, BTN is owned by Fox and the Pac 12 is owned by the conference itself.
They do it to dissolve the conference so they don’t have to pay the buyout for OU and UT plus the remaining 1.06 billion they owe through 2025.
It has to be KU and they prefer the Big 10. If it was WV and they got an offer they would be gone already.
It's also quite possible they are pushing more than one conference but bowlsby only has receipts on one (like the AAC)
Looks like Rock and roller coaster will be setting up in Ames as part of the new entertainment district. Thanks Disney!
Jamie’s comments on mentioning Bob B in his video make a little more sense now. Bob is pissed, Jamie knew it and likely knew today’s letter to ESPN and Bob’s comments following going scorched earth. Burn it down Bob!
The American makes the most sense because they’re the one that would need bankrolling. The B1G/Pac/ACC can just offer and we’d all say yes. If the American just said “Hey you want in?” with no incentive or reasoning then we are hanging up the phone.
I'm thinking the PAC12 sent the info as ESPN was trying to broker another mega conference with the remaining southern teams.
Too bad it took Bob this long to grow a pair
