Also in here, Utah and Arizona State have "ramped up" talks with the Big 12.

If this is the case. The one tweet I posted about Crow is wrong. That guy is usually on out

I've seen this posted several times about Tallahassee being in the Middle East, but I have no idea what it's about.


<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Imagine checking Twitter for the first time at noon today.<br><br>“Yeah, the Pac-12 came back to life and then died again.

The Big 10 is bigger than the AFC now so here's to divisions and playoffs!

Apple pulled its offer to the Pac 12.

More than 30% of the Pac-12’s media rights value went out the door with USC and UCLA. Oregon, Washington and Colorado must be more than 30% of whatever value was subsequently left.

What would Apple even offer at this point? A cameo in the next season of Ted Lasso?

Arizona State’s President, Michael Crow seems like an incompetent pompous jackass.

Things can change, but the plan is for there to be an official announcement from Arizona tomorrow.

If there was a button that would reset things back to the 80's, I would hit it (even though Husker fan would be annoying again)....

-Bowl games that mattered
-Southwest Conference with A&M, Arkansas and Texas
-Football in the Big East
-The wishbone
-Being able to name the top handful of fullbacks
-Athletes being paid in the form of black TransAms and envelopes with cash
-Keith Jackson

With that said, I'm thankful that the B12 pulled through this, and I'm grateful that Yormark is the B12 commissioner.

He has bad blood with Iowa state because he didn’t get a promotion he wanted and left. Has hated Iowa State and the Big12 ever since.

Seriously doubt that. Otherwise he wouldn’t be going back and do speaking engagements

A 1977 Iowa State graduate, Crow earned bachelor degrees in political science and environmental studies. At Iowa State, he was the director of the former office of science policy and research (1985-91), director of the former Institute for Physical Research and Technology (1988-91) and assistant director for planning and program development at Ames Laboratory (1985-88). He left Ames to serve as executive vice provost at Columbia University, New York City (1991-2002), before becoming Arizona State's 16th president in 2002.

Utah is expected to be accepted into the Big 12 as soon as tonight. Announcement could come within next 48 hours.

Is Arizona State a required package deal to add Arizona and Utah?

If not then it seems like UConn would be a better addition than them.

UConn brings a Northeast presence with a national brand in men’s/women’s basketball.

Arizona State brings… Michael Crow.

I’m hearing no. They want it but it’s not require.

I am not sure what metrics the Big 12 would look at as a comparison, but to me UConn adds way more value than Arizona State.

Arizona State barely adds the Phoenix market since Arizona is the flagship school in the state. Also Phoenix has a transient population and is not a college sports city.
