“Like, listen guys, we wouldn’t give the Pac10 $300M a year. And we wouldn’t give the ACC more money because we are making a killing off of this ‘decade old, but decades to go’ deal. But now…merger!! Colorado’s gone and maybe Arizona. But basically the Pac8 is all still grouped together! With anchors like Oregon State, Washington State and Cal joining forces with BC, Wake Forest and Syracuse, we are SUPER excited. And the ACC hasn’t changed a bit. Here, take our money!” Oh and the two leagues in the merger will only get 1 auto bid to the 12-team playoff, when both of them separate would get 2. That’s less guaranteed money.
