Big Ten and other Conference Expansion

[dragurd]

With four schools in the Pacific Timezone, how soon before the B1G goes back to the negotiating table with ESPN to sell a fourth game window for B1G After Dark?

Maybe Amazon will throw a bag of money at it they were trying to throw for the NBC/CBS part of the contract?

It was basically the Same as Washington and Oregon in the Big Ten. Please let us in we'll take 3/4ths revenue, cut I meand did we say 3/4ths we meant 2/3rds. Okay Half is fine...

As a west coast watcher I am fuckin here for it. B1G for 12+ hours? Count me in. Yeah it's rebranded PAC, and I was going to watch anyway, but getting B1G action after 9p.m. local time sounds awesome.

Looks like it is happening.

Big Ten adding Oregon and Washington, leaving Pac-12 with uncertain future

After a roller coaster of exploration and negotiation across the week, the Ducks and Huskies will exit the Pac 12, leaving the 108-year-old league with no certain future.

At least we’d be getting them relative to the value they bring. 50% is an acceptable deal.

Should help them afford new shine boxes.

Were you there when the PAC was kill?

Not sure how I feel about this, but the hegemony of the B1G/$EC seems unstoppable.

Far better to swing the blade than it is to have that blade cross your own neck. Is what it is.

I still vote for "The Conference of Northern Aggression" and we can have the Grant and Sherman divisions.

So this is taking effect next year right? So now they have to redo the entire "Flex Protect" model they announced last month?

Probably just make Washington and Oregon Rivals and be done with it
