PAC-12 status and media rights deal

[BattleHawks]

But that number will change with every addition. They're not paying an additional $20m for Utah State, Nevada, Idaho, etc. The average will drop unless they get teams equal to what they've got. And even then, there's a good chance even the current teams valuation drops given the lack of interest in a lot of their potential matchups.

that is incorrect

the number is a flat fee 20m per team up to 12 teams

the plan is to give half shares to the new teams, and the leftover money to the big name teams

PAC-9 presented with numbers, but no vote for approval

arizona meeting at 430 central time

[BattleHawks]

arizona does not want to jump alone, they are trying to get AZ state and utah to go with them

[BattleHawks]

that might be the best case scenario for the remaining PAC-6

they can give 6 new members $10M each

and the 6 old members can get their $30M target

[BattleHawks]

keeping in mind they may do something like this:

Oregon and Washington $35M

Stanford and Cal $30M

O state and W state $25M

[BattleHawks]

the big question for me is will schools like SMU think $10M is enough?

they are facing an over $18M exit fee

they are making around $7M now

All Streaming APPLE deal at no more than $20mm each... OUCH...

If AZ, AZ St and Utah are smart they will be out by tomorrow. There is no way Oregon and Washington are leaving a half priced B1G deal on the table for this subpar plan.

Its looking like Pac-12 is in serious trouble.

>> Pac-12 schools have to be nervous about future: There was never a great media deal coming
The truth of the Pac-12’s journey to a new media rights deal is that the negotiations were never going well and the contract was always going to be bad.<<

>> “The bottom line is this, guys,” Finebaum said. “Nobody is signing up on Apple to watch the Pac-12 because there’s nothing to watch once you lose Colorado, UCLA and USC.

“I don’t want to be the guy that keeps burying this league because I think I did it the other day, but I’m gonna keep doing it. Somebody needs to shovel dirt on this league and end this charade. It’s over for the Pac-12.”

Finebaum also said that programs who are being courted by the Big 12 — reportedly Arizona, Arizona State and Utah — should take action.

“And if these 3 don’t get out of here, they’re going down with the ship,” Finebaum said.<<

Gotta agree with PF here unfortunately and the lack of action by the Schools - esp those targeted by Big12 - is pathetic. These people get paid alot of money to make big decisions - handle it.

an all APPLE is not ideal, but to be honest, it's what everyone has been expecting for over a year now

i still think they will be reduced to 6, then add 6 G5 teams, and then go on with their lives...
