Are you going to be happy with that? Quote

A lot of wasted time for what should have happened first. And yes, the two Pac-12 orphans need to be a part of it. They fit. They were 95% not coming before this. Now there's about as much of a chance as Alabama going to the Pac as Memphis. 1 1 Quote

KingSpartan Posted January 31 Posted January 31 Imagine CBS, Fox, TRU, and CW all broadcasting the conferences games. Other G5s could only dream of that exposure. 1 1 Quote

Your entire conference payout annually is less than ONE BIG team payout. You're good with that? Are you planning on being competitive in the future? Or are you OK being blowout out like this year just to be there? Quote
Billings Posted January 31 Posted January 31 Add in with the ACC and ESPN extending their contract there will be no BIG 12 or ACC raids going on for quite a while 2 Quote

aggieblueballs Posted January 31 Posted January 31 I'll bet anyone on here that a merger will not happen and the Pac will have at least double the payout. This junk show is just spewing off crap to get clicks. I'm telling you deals have already been proposed over 10 million. They are trying to negotiate with multiple sources to up the amount. Expect TNT, CW and Fox to all be involved. Also the pacs own TV assets are being rented out to other conferences and already brings in good revenue. This ain't happening even if it should have happened from the beginning. But there is no way now with all the added schools that a merger will ever happen. Keep on smoking and living a pipe dream. 2 3 1 Quote

They know they're better off where they are at the moment. Why move to a conference run by the same incompetent idiots who destroyed it? I'd say at this point that the PAC isn't getting any AAC schools..........maybe Texas St, but that's because TSU would be stupid not taking the opportunity to exit the Sun Belt Conference So basically this is where we seem to be: 1 - PAC is at 7 FB playing schools, with possibly a Sun Belt Conf team becoming the 8th to satisfy NCAA regulations 2 - The MWC isn't backing down from the legal fight which could cost the PAC $$ they can't afford to lose 3 - The MWC has made moves to add full & partial members because of the defections to the PAC 4 - It's looking like the PAC's mighty TV deal is coming in way under the inflated amount the PAC was hoping for 5 - Now there's talk of a possible merger / agreement between the MWC & PAC which would mean the MWAC might have 16 FB members (if TX St is out) and 18 BB members if every new invite remains 2 1 Quote

Something have to done. About damn time someone make some sense. Better not look in the mirror, because the entire MW is getting less than a B1G or SEC squad. Quote

True, but we aren't the delusional morons that you guys are. There is no way in hell you get anywhere near $10 million per team. 3 Quote
