Conference Realignment Discussion

It will be interesting to see how the state of California  board of regrets rescts to the move by UCLA. They are part of the UC boards of regrets and no one other than the president of UCLA knew of the move. Now UCLA is currently $100+ million in debt and this move with help offset the debt, but the "woke/broke/=joke" board and  state government wants some of this money.   

Plus, the "woke+broke+=joke" state government has a new bill that most likely will passed and signed that the colleges in California that have men's,women's, and football will give those that sign with these teams and stay with the teams and get a degree of some kind within 6 years gets a part of the revenue from the 3 sports. So, a football player from USC prior to the move could get $600,000+ after the degree after 6 years.
By the way, thats a great idea. Colleges and Universities are trying to find ways to get more revenue out there, and now they have to give up some more.

This is going to blow up in UCLA's face and end up with a net loss instead of a pretty sizable gain. Newsome is an arrogant prik.

Totally agree.  Wonder what happens if the BOR of UC and Newsome stall or keep UCLA from leaving in '24. Especially, if USC leaves and the B10+ decides to take Oregon instead. No offense to the others in the PAC 10+, but none of them are viewed the same as USC and Oregon in the current football landscape.

Well, Stanford will lift you GPA average. lol

Washington also lifts your GPA compared to Oregon.  But Oregon has moved up in recent years.  Remember Phil Knight is in his 80s.  Does the money spigot keep pouring when he's no longer running Nike?

It will continue as long as he has access to slave labor in China.

 
Tortious interference. That's why we're getting the responses we are.
IMO, the Big 12 will make the first move in this. And make no mistake, they will make the first move. We're in the way.

I read where someone postulated that when BYU et al enter in 2024 it changes the terms of the GOR contract and that is the loop hole.

Not necessarily true. The conference always has the right to expand. UT and OU are just two votes.

What it does is wreck scheduling a bit, since we'd have to accommodate whatever the Big 12 decides to do for 2023 and 2024. Are we going to divisions? Are we going to play everyone once?

The way I understood it, it had to do with contract value and disbursement.

I believe this is correct.  As teams move in or out the GOR that the conference has then can be redone by ESPN and/or Fox depending upon who comes in and who leaves. Due to the value of the team being a bigtime tv viewing team, i.e. Texas, USC, blow u, or Clemson. As compared to a Cal, Kansas, and/or Wake Forrest. Yes, I do know that they have had some good teams, but they aren't like the others.

Now, I did find where ND is looking to get a new deal with NBC for $75M per year. But NBC wants more college football to go with ND. Rumor is with Big 12 needing a new deal maybe a partial deal with NBC to go with ESPN and Fox?

Yeah, the rumor is NBC will contract with the Big 12 for either T1 or T2 media rights. These games will be featured when ND is on the road and as lead-ins for ND home games.

I think UT & OU will be in the SEC by 2024. Yormark will settle because he'll want to start building the Big 12's new, "young, hip, & cool" brand. Any time spent featuring or talking about UT/OU detracts from the Big 12, especially if they add 4-6 PAC teams as speculated.

Texas should just win the conference this year to piss them off. lol
