I just read where Big 12 looking to add UA, ASU, and Utah.Above is what they are saying. Over 100m per school per year now with a new deal. P12 currently is at 40m. Estimates have the P12 as it stands, losing 1/3 of their value for next deal. I've seen it will be Fox B10 vs ESPN SEC.
Supposedly Arizona and Arizona State have already contacted the B12. Ken Kendrick, owner of the Diamondbacks and Arizona donor, is a WVU grad and donor there as well (hence why WVU has played a bowl there twice) and he is pushing hard for Arizona and WVU to be in same conference.
This isn't anywhere near done.
One person said they could see 10 years down the road all the major conferences come together and just split in to NSEW divisions. Wouldn't that be nice. One can dream.
In the end - how does it impact MT and how can they move to a better conference?
So far the B10 has stuck with the AAU thing. Nebraska isn't now, but was when they took them in.
That leaves
P12...Cal, Oregon, Washington, Stanford, Arizona, Utah
In ACC...Duke, UNC
B12....Kansas
I thought Notre Dame was too (I've always thought they belonged in the B10) but just checking, they aren't.
Granted money talks but I'd bet they stick with the AAU thing.
The ACC’s GOR would require them to give up their tv revenue through 2036 if anyone leaves. That conference isn’t having anyone leave anytime soon. That’s the only reason Clemson and FSU are still on the table.Oregon and Washington reportedly "applying" to the BIG, which seems obvious.
If its all about money, why not take them along with UNC, Miami, Clemson and Fl State? Legitimately what is stopping them from creating a "best not named SEC" conference?
My hope is we end up on some REGIONAL conference with a few previous P5 schools that got left out in the cold and other close G5 schools.

I would agree with you if that scenario existed. The issue is not only would they forfeit their ACC revenue, they’d also forfeit any revenue generated from their new conference home through 2036. So I just don’t see how they’d be willing to give up that much money. I do know Clemson and FSU weren’t thrilled about the GOR so I’d guess there will be more shuffling down the road with them but I doubt it will happen before 2031 at the earliest.ACC deal is about 36m per school per year. So that's 504m till rights are up in 2036. Plus there is roughly a 50m exit fee (not a big deal for Clemson or FSU)
New B10 deal is expecting 100m per year. Probably more. SEC's deal that starts next year will be roughly 70m. Which if the conference expands, the $ will stay roughly the same per school as it's the SEC. They will renegotiate and ESPN will gladly pay.
So even if Clemson and FSU agree to 2/3, if they can, that still will be 46m per year. Lawyers can make anything happen. They'd come out ahead in 10 years instead of 14. That's if it is a reduced rate like the B12 did with WVU. Depends on what the ACC contract says. Some are using the whole govt. sovereignty thing.
If the SEC, well if ESPN, wants Clemson and FSU, they will have them.

Looks like the Big12 wants to raid 6 teams from the PAC12. If Oregon and Washington move to Big 10, I wonder if the 4 leftover schools will move to the MWC or AAC. The MWC makes the most sense, but little about realignment makes sense.
They didn't go away, they are still broadcasting not exclusively SEC.No more CBS 3:30pm game? Drag.
They could say they are negotiating, just to help out UVA, UNC, CU and FSU or UM. Just depends on who is talking. Once that window is open, it can break loose the contract and UM has already hired attorney's to see about getting out the GOR with the ACCThey talked about this on 104.5 The Zone while i was in my Jeep at lunch. They didn't believe it because ESPN still has 12 years on the ACC TV deal, so why would they dissolve a deal that works for their advantage now? Had Golic, Jr on too who worked for ESPN and that part was hard for him to get past also. Does make for interesting talk/discussion, but it's all about the money!
