Big 12 PAC 12 consider merger

USC and Oregon are trash too

Yeah frick it just put us in the AAC

nothing will come of this

Best available option would be

Tech
TCU
OSU
KU

To take the Pac to 16 and let the old Pac8 have their own division but that wont happen either.

Big 12 is stuck adding from AAC / MWC

Oregon won’t be trash for long buddy

USC in 2019 averaged about 62K per home game (63k for UCLA).

Football on the left coast is about done.

Exactly, most people have missed that the landscape has changed when it comes to value. TV market size is less important than actual viewers.

For 2020 if you combine big 12 and pac 12 sans OU/TX, the big 12 would have 11 of top 20 most viewed games. Iowa State vs Kansas state would have been the most watched game...Arkansas State vs Kansas state would have been 11. Granted i only used one data source but this says the pac 12 is in trouble next round of negotiations and should make the B1G leery of merging.

That’s a lot of travel costs. Will be interesting to see how this would impact the pending lawsuits from Bowlsby regarding ESPN meddling, and whether the GOR is still valid thru 2025. Not to mention exit fees owed for OU/tu leaving prior to 2025 (if they so choose).

This would do nothing to add to the value for the future tb revenue. ESPN & Fox basically already told the Big 12 that they wouldn't get nowhere near the money that the SEC or B1G would get, and that was with OU & TU. That is why OU & TU bolted. The TV networks sure aren't going to increase the per school payout to the PAC-12 if they add more schools that they've already deemed as not very valuable. If this happens, then you might as well consider that merged conference at the AAC level because their revenue won't be anywhere close to the SEC or B1G.
