One, nobody is right or wrong yet. Two, it is possible to be accurate and factual and the outcome is different than what the facts were at the time of the news. Three, congratulations on your perfect score of dumb posts that contribute nothing to the discussion.

I would at the very least say that the Big 12 threads are very interesting and relevant to everyone, and that everyone is curious for news and information, whatever it is and whoever it is from.

It is unbelievable how obsessed you are with me, and jumping into threads with the sole purpose of posting stuff like this over and over. I honestly pity you. You need help.

My bad. Thanks for all of your insight and wisdom. We are fortunate to be able to gleen from your infinite knowledge and inside sources, within the Memphis athletic department and Big 12 & AAC offices.

There is no question that you are the "Ike" of Quebec.

This is your entire contribution in all the expansion threads. A smart 6 year old could do much better. We should all be thanking you for all your insight and wisdom, correct?

Congratulations Mensa's. We are in the midst of what is probably the biggest event in the school's athletic history, and you are too busy being a psycho to even make single coherent post.

This place hasn't changed. I'll check back in another five years.

It is painful sometimes to be honest. Simply providing raw data and information never understood why like minded tiger fans want to fight with words with other tiger fans. Nothing positive about that.

RE: What I'm Hearing Now...
If you've followed the happenings surrounding the B-12 from outside sources you know that the B-12 commish has recently made ESPN enemy #1 for orchestrating the UT/OU exit which will happen July 2025 or likely sooner because the B-12 will likely dissolve. But some think the 8 remaining will hang tough to get the riches associated with exit fees, GOR etc. And further, that the B-12 will back fill to replace UT/OU. But here's the problem. BOTH Fox & ESPN have a contractual right to reduce their respective contracts the moment UT/OU are no longer playing games as Big-12 members. And media watch experts have recently valued the remaining 8 media rights at $9M. But you say these remaining 8 will reap the rewards of exit fees & GOR etc. to offset the reduced media value. But will they? And even if they will eventually it will be after years of litigation. Also what about Fox & ESPN' interest in the B-12 absent UT/OU? FOX already passed on buying the B-12 title game this past season with UT/OU still members, so ESPN bought the game. That would be a pretty clear indication that FOX has soured on the B-12. And the B-12 commish has further alienated ESPN with his cease & desist BS. And at the same time has made the AAC & likely AAC schools an enemy in the process. So the questions are who's going to pay the remaining 8 after July 2025 & how much, what will the B-12 media value be after UT/OU leave, what is going to be the current media contract valued if UT/OU leave prior to July 2025. And with the apparent Fox disinterest & ESPN intentions of dissolving the B-12, how can they attract replacements?

Possibility: Holding out for one last huge payout. The $40M each until 2025, including $80M each from UT/OU for early departure. And they are emotional about all this (how UT and OU got sneaky and screwed all of them), so they refuse to even negotiate, regardless of what happens in 2025. They'll may be thinking "we'll take out chances then".

I don't know how anyone can accurately assess the value of Texas and Oklahoma, but we know that ESPN will overvalue them and the Big 12 will under value them. That is a big headache.

The advantage that the Big 12 does have, is that Texas and Oklahoma either have to stay 3 more years or they will have to pay an exit fee and they will forfeit all of their tv revenue up to 2025.

That is what should lead to a settlement which is a combination of a lesser exit fee along with a new tv contract for the 12 members.

But it won't be $40M. The actual revenue from the media contracts is more like $24M. To get to $40M you have to add in all other revenue sources - bowl games, NCAA credits, tier 3 media deals that's are unique & separate for each school & other smaller sources. But schools think long term. Their TV deals is up before the 2025 season is played. That means they will have to get their next deal done in 2023. Who will be interested. FOX does seem interested & ESPN is now their #1 enemy. Not good prospects for the future. And litigation of those type takes years. That puts the B-12 in a bad way to attract new members & makes it virtually impossible to forecast revenues. Plus apparently ESPN wants the B-12 dissolved so that their SEC/UT/OU deal can begin sooner. Personally, I'm betting on a quick settlement, a dissolved B-12 & an enriched AAC.

Personally, I don’t think that will have any bearing on anything. If ESPN sees value, they’ll pay. If they pay, the Big whatever will gladly accept it. All anyone really cares about here is the almighty dollar.

I think Bowlsby will get a no-confidence vote, and be replaced as commish. That way the new guy can repair relations with tv execs, and attract new invitees.
Who wants to join a league that might possibly get bad tv deals in the future because their commissioner is an asshat?

That sounds logical. If the AAC Commissioner was that of the B12 they would have been solid possibly - The B12 has had questionable leadership

This is what I see, too. Some possible obstacles are:

(a) An AAC team bolts to the Big XII before the dissolution takes place. This puts the Big XII in a more powerful position than the AAC.

(b) ESPN realizes that the AAC was caught with their hand in the cookie jar and tries to abort any merger based on media perception

© Whatever machinations are involved in getting this new, merged conference P5 status

(d) If the PAC and/or ACC begin to poach/merge with the former Big XII schools


BUT, there are also some things that might accelerate the merger

(a) A top-tier remaining Big XII schools (like Iowa State) might bolt and further weaken the Big XII's position

(b) A lower-tier remaining Big XII school might leave the school of fish and proactively come to the AAC

© FOX might start to lowball the remaining contract or ESPN might try to further sweeten the pot



-I'd much prefer remaining Big XII teams coming into the AAC than vice-versa. I'm not sold that we'd secure one of the top spots if the Big XII looks to add 2 or 4-- and I think the bureaucracy and voting if this was in the AAC's court would be much more streamlined than if it were in the Big XII's court (but again, that pesky P5 obstacle).

Lots of different trajectories this can take. Most are favorable for Memphis

No worries, Stammers is in Canada and claims we are 2nd in line despite most every media outlet saying there's 4-5 ahead of us.

That argument will likely be resolved in the next couple of months and there is nothing any of us can do to change the outcome. I'm in the "2nd in line" camp, but don't see a reason to bicker about it.

Lots of different trajectories this can take. Most are favorable for Memphis

I wouldn’t be surprised if Bowlsby has told a half dozen schools that they are first or second in line.

He might have good info. The problem is we might be second in line for a seat on a plane where everyone else is pulling their parachutes.

Or we might be told we are second in line, we jump at the opportunity— and weaken our position because then everyone else jumps (Cincinnati, UCF) and we get shuffled back to 5th or 6th.

RE: What I'm Hearing Now...
I hope we’re 1st in line, 2nd in line, or leading the charge to bring all or some of the b12 leftovers to the AAC, whatever. But based on past history, I’m afraid we’ll be left behind yet again and this time that means piss on the fire and call the dogs because it’s over. If we get stuck back with a bunch of the lower end AAC and CUSA teams, Memphis sports is toast.

One, nobody is right or wrong yet. Two, it is possible to be accurate and factual and the outcome is different than what the facts were at the time of the news. Three, congratulations on your perfect score of dumb posts that contribute nothing to the discussion.

I would at the very least say that the Big 12 threads are very interesting and relevant to everyone, and that everyone is curious for news and information, whatever it is and whoever it is from.

It is unbelievable how obsessed you are with me, and jumping into threads with the sole purpose of posting stuff like this over and over. I honestly pity you. You need help.

My bad. Thanks for all of your insight and wisdom. We are fortunate to be able to gleen from your infinite knowledge and inside sources, within the Memphis athletic department and Big 12 & AAC offices.

There is no question that you are the "Ike" of Quebec.

This is your entire contribution in all the expansion threads. A smart 6 year old could do much better. We should all be thanking you for all your insight and wisdom, correct?

Congratulations Mensa's. We are in the midst of what is probably the biggest event in the school's athletic history, and you are too busy being a psycho to even make single coherent post.

Incorrect. As usual.

I don't know anything firm, so I choose to relax and have a few laughs.

You don't know anything firm, but you choose to preen about, pretending that you have the "inside info".

Are all Frenchies such self-absorbed douche bags or is it just you?
