Big 12 just did a masterpiece on contract negotiations. Their contract will expire in 5-6 years, most likely will get a raise while the ACC contract will likely still be paying the same amount, and those bitch ass FSU crybabies will still be whining.

The Big 12 should give Brett Yormark a lifetime contract.

How do people like this end up in these positions?

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">“it’s almost like he’s being dragged across the finish line,” a person directly familiar with tonight’s ABOR meeting told me about their view ASU President Michael Crow on the school’s potential move to the Big-12.<br><br>More:<a href="https://t.co/d8QgueeqRN">https://t.co/d8QgueeqRN</a> <a href="https://t.co/zcNC6xHCwu">pic.twitter.com/zcNC6xHCwu</a></p>&mdash; Chris Karpman (@ChrisKarpman) <a href="https://twitter.com/ChrisKarpman/status/1687298806218690561?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">August 4, 2023</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>

The hoops fan in me would be okay UCONN as a consolation. UCONN, Arizona, and Houston entering the Big 12 is just insane to think about at this juncture.

This is where if I was Yormark and/or the Big 12 Presidents, I would give the AZ BOR an ultimatum.

Either remove Crow and ASU will get accepted or enjoy the hellhole of Mountain West.

I hope they do that. Crow needs to be gone. That guy has been a staunch supporter of the Pac-12, as he'd long been an advocate of former commissioner Larry Scott, even after the league's trajectory went all ****ed up.

Figures Washington is going into Executive session. Not public

Washington meeting is adjourned


10 35 pm pst

Supposedly 2 of the regents raised 2 issues. Not sure what it’s about

Tomorrow. PAC 8 leaders are meeting Going over the apple offer again which expires tomorrow.

Arizona looks good as gone. Big 12 approved them today

ASU Crow is killing his regents by dragging his feet. Wants to hear more tomorrow

Utah is waking up. Listening to the Big 12

Oregon and Washington. Has a low offer by the Big 10. 35 mil Washington needs 10 mil more for travel So I’m hearing Big 12 is looking more and more.

So will tomorrow finally be the start of the funeral of the PAC 12?

I love Bill Walton. Would be cool if we started getting him on B12 games.

At last minute, Pac-12 may stay together & sign Grant of Rights. After Monday’s media rights offer, P12 held multiple zoom meetings this week. Arizona’s Bobby Robbins appeared fully committed to Pac-12 so much that one participant said: “If Arizona leaves, he should win an Oscar"

don't know how Robbins and Heeke would be able to navigate staying in the conference at this point. At least from a local public perception. It's not good, Arizona fans don't like the Pac-12 to being with for the most pa

There is a very real chance that Arizona makes the decision to go alone.

Arizona was still planning to go to the Big 12 after last night's meeting. Coaches were informed and it was full steam ahead. We have said it's not over until it's over but it would still be one of the most shocking turnarounds I have seen.

I have no idea who most of these people tweeting info are, so take it with a grain of salt.

All money aside, how much more travel expenses does a school from the Pac have to incur should they join the Big 12? 31.7M vs 21M but if you have 5M more in travel expenses maybe thats the argument. Either way you want your program on regular TV for eye balls and exposure.

These guys are legit
