ChiefsPlanet - Funny Stuff New Conference re-alignment thread

Outside of Kansas, the bottom of the Big12 is better than any conference. They are the most competitive league top to bottom and have been for awhile. The Big12’s problem is it doesn’t have Alabama or Ohio State, because the media only cares about the top school(s).

The Big12 had the benefit of being poached last year, and were able to bring in the best available. The Big12 also benefits from people actually watching their games unlike most of the PAC. The PAC has been the worst conference for awhile, and losing USC and UCLA days before entering media right negotiations isn’t going to make it better.

SDSU and other good mid-majors are available for poaching on the west coast.

There’s also rumors of CBS and Amazon wanting the Big12. Hell there’s rumors ESPN wants to over pay for the Big12 network(converting the LHN) just to get Oklahoma and Texas to the SEC earlier.

Yet there’s been no rumors of interest in the PAC so far. Just that Fox has no interest and ESPN is lowballing them.

You just post blind homerisn endlessly. You have no clue what these folks discussed or what the outcome was. Just more of your BooClone sunshine pumping

And you think that will raise the value after losing USC?

At least I’m not dumb enough to think the PAC will poach the Big12.

Plus the schools added weren’t bad. BYU as an independent, Cincinnati and Houston as former P6 schools who over achieved at the lower level and made it back. UCF from Florida who has been very competitive in football, has one of the largest enrollments of students in the nation, and well is in Florida.

You think SDSU or Boise compare to them? After the Big12 turned them down?

Gives the Pac a team in SoCal. Doesn't make up for it but it is a larger media market. Add in some another like UNLV, CSU, Air Force, or Fresno St. and you have a decent conference.

I think it makes you very naive to think the PAC can't pull off a poaching of the Big 12. With everything that has happened anything can happen at this point.

We all would’ve said that about USC and UCLA a month ago.

Wishful thinking.

Let me get this straight, you’re comparing the PAC to The SEC and B1G, as well as comparing Texas and USC to Baylor and Houston?

The Big12 has another advantage over the PAC, their media rights last another year. It would be easier for PAC schools to leave for the Big12. The PAC also has schools like Oregon, Washington, and Stanford still trying to jump ship to the B1G, which maybe 1-3 get that chance if NBC doesn’t give Notre Dame the 75 million they are looking for(NBC currently gives them 15 million).

The PAC is too unstable at the moment for any current P5 to go there. Especially considering they are projected to make less than the Big12.

It literally makes no sense to think the PAC will be the one doing the poaching unless Apple jumps in and offers 50+ million per school.

Exactly how is that wishful thinking? I don't want the Pac 12 to raid the Big 12 but to think it can't happen just doesn't even make sense at this point.

It wouldn't surprise me in the least if Amazon a Seattle based company didn't throw it's hat in the ring for live sports and want to feature west coast teams including the local washington huskies. If the money is right it could poach Big 12 schools. Nobody really knows what's going on and in this era of realignment nothing is impossible if the money is right.

Amazon has been interested in the Big12 for awhile. It wouldn’t be surprising for them to want the Big12 to poach the PAC. Or maybe they want both the Big12 and PAC. Maybe the PAC stays at 10 or adds SDSU and Boise, maybe a few others as well.

But the PAC is in no place to raid the Big12. Not even remotely close unless they want to do unequal revenue sharing and pay the Big12 schools more then themselves, but that makes no sense.

They’ll be fine until the schools are able to pay players themselves.
