I know that is what many think, but I find it difficult to

believe that they actually saw the PAC imploding. I think that it was a comedy or errors, and the B12 happened to be in the right place at the right time. I know we have disagreed on this in the past, but I contend that the 4 corners being added to the B12 was never planned by the networks, and the planets just happened to line up at the right time. You are right though, all conference media contracts moving forward will be about the eyeballs, but maybe more importantly, the eyeballs that are willing to pay for that content.

Pretty clear the SEC and ESPN want to keep those games in the SEC's...
EDGEMAN • 09/01/25 09:59 AM ET
Put those SEC teams up in the cold weather B1G country and see what happens

True, imagine that competition (not being sarcastic)

The networks are behind this power shift, they are dictating the terms,
Stech • 08/30/25 07:08 PM ET
The problem is the control of time slots....
lord4bid • 08/31/25 12:58 PM ET
This is perhaps the most important thing that folks fail to grasp-
Baltimore_Hokie • 09/02/25 12:36 PM ET
Having your distributions tied to the media
Big12 guy • 09/02/25 01:04 PM ET
Exactly, this why the whole thing is fixed, or Unprofessional Wrestling,
Stech • 08/31/25 07:28 PM ET
They usually get the best time slots on both ABC and ESPN.
EDGEMAN • 08/31/25 01:20 PM ET
the networks dont have the power you think tbey do
MrBayAreaHokie • 08/30/25 08:27 PM ET
