It seems highly suspicious that when the PAC

didn't accept ESPN's offer that all of a sudden the B12 got a decent contract with the ability to add the four corners. It's also suspicious that Oregon and Washington actually get the same amount or less than the B12 contract, at least until the BIG negotiates a new one. ESPN no longer has to carry the 4 teams left in the PAC at the amounts that the PAC wanted, and Fox was nowhere to be seen when the PAC put the contract out to bid. The PAC really stepped in it, and the B12 got some programs that really have no business being in the new B12. Utah and ASU REALLY, and mean, REALLY did not want to be in the B12, but their arrogance caught up with them. I have mixed feelings, as ASU and Utah are decent programs, and Utah has one hell of a football team, long term, I don't like the additions. I, as a fan, would rather have had Zona and UConn. Colorado doesn't move the needle one way or the other, but they left the conference because of Texas, so I'll give them a break.

True, but ACC aggregate $$ still much more than paying FSU + Clemson SEC
BAMRising 08/06/23 03:47 PM ET
Yes, but they might add value to the SEC by diluting
