Jason Scheer which has been on top of these actions has been pretty spot on, - -he is the inside reporter for Arizona - -just like Swain is for KU. He tweeted out that there is a real chance that Yormark also goes ahead and invites Gonzaga & U Conn for Basketball only - and the League to expand to 18.

It's ben known for some time Yormark wants U Conn pretty bad to get into that Northeastern section , and to get the New York Media. Brett has been in discussions again with both Schools and they feel he will be able to get th approval with the School presidents - -. Brett is doing this as I've said before , he is fully aware that football is the money maker BUT also feels and wants to make up a totally separate media agreement for Basketball as it being up and coming in revenue

I'm telling you don't be shocked if Brett gets this done, he has been pretty impressive with what he hsa accomplished in his 1st yr as Commissioner - - he has been very aggressive isn't sitting still and doing nothing , like a shark in bloody waters. - -He was smart and beat the PAC in getting a new media deal, leaving the PAc stranded to where Georgie was doing nothing. Brett got the media deal done and then was able to focus on getting these PAC 12 Schools. - -He got the deal done in Mexico as has been stated, he wants the Big 12 even better,-- don't be surprised , in the end if this doesn't get done.- -However there is as Jason said still a lot of work to be done for that to happen

Was listening to multiple podcasts around today, and heard this from more then one. - Was Stated with the make up of the Big 12 now the they think that OVERALL in Total - -ALL sports that the Big 12 that w ar the most athletic overall of any conference. Not saying the best in Football -- But we are best athletic league OVERALL in ALL sports combined. - -Very well could be

Was just listening to Arizona St podcast and talking about their new league and no we have THIS BREAKING

Bret Yormork in discussions and looking to add Gonzaga & U Conn for Basketball only - - -HOLYSMOKES

@bskeet said in The Big 12 conference:

BYU and Utah in the same conference will create drama in Utah. It's the kind of drama that sounds like a pin dropping in the rocky mountain forest, but it's about the only rivalry created by all of this realignment.

Also-- this conference now has quite a few games at high altitude. Not sure if that's ever a factor, but it is unique in the P5 --- er P4.

I guess UConn is UGone.

The " HOLY WAR " quite the battle between BYU & Utah. - -They truly really do have a dislike for one another

@approxinfinity said in The Big 12 conference:

Disappointed we cant pull Stanford. But at least we no longer need to settle for assuming that Arizona is overrated every year when filling out a bracket, and actually watch them get their ass handed to them in the B12 conference season.

Utah's arrogant fan base needs to be put in place - -would love to see Big 12 schools just beat that ass in football

Well we finally got it , Arizona , Utah , and fricken Arizona St all applied for member ship to the big 12 today.-- Arizona has been voted in , BOR meeting tonight to vote in Utah and Ariz St. Crow better feel lucky that Brett believes in 2nd chances Crow about really screwed this up for Arizona St

Arizona hsa been accepted to the Big twelve by the Big twelve board last night - -just waiting for Arizona St

Like I said earlier I liked some things I saw today, and yet I know w all here are intelligent enough to know that what we seen in competition today is not EVEN CLOSE to what we will see Saturday.

Just like we have to keep today in perspective - -w also need to keep Saturday in perspective . I think we all know or should know we could very easily get taken to the wood shed Saturday with those group of guys we gonna be playing

Thought I would check out the Kentucky boars to see any comments and of course , jut like you can take it to the bank -- all kinds of comments such as : - we are slower, we are not as athletic etc , etc, now either I was watching a different game I must of been seeing cause the guys I saw was faster and more athletic -I dunno maybe just me lol.
They are already starting in about how they gonna beat our ass in November - - and maybe they will who knows -- but ummmm probably not - -GOD I love UK fans

Kentucky fans are watching Kansas play pre-season basketball games? 😂 losers! …well I don’t even watch the ncaa championship game if it doesn’t have KU in it…I guess I shouldn’t blame them. Lol

ya buddy, UK has such a complex that they will jump with any KU doins. - they have quite the response to us playing and how they will beat our ass in November it's really sweet, you ought to hear then talk about how ways of catching back up with us in all time wins. - -Everyday - -always something - really do think they need to come out with some kind of inferiority complex pill for them to talk lol

Big 12 board had meeting tonight and approved the addition of Arizona it's al a formality, Arizona haad a bOR meeting tonight along with Arizona St and according to Jason Scheer from the Wildcat Insider said it's just a formality they should have things wrapped up tonight and hopefully along with Arizona St be able to Announce they are leaving the PAC.

The BOR over see's Arizon and Arizona State both, so virtual lock that now Arizona & Arizona State coming and then Utah will follow according to multiple sources

Like I said earlier I liked some things I saw today, and yet I know w all here are intelligent enough to know that what we seen in competition today is not EVEN CLOSE to what we will see Saturday.

Dang guys I , know , I know and yet man I seen some things today which were athletic , very athletic. Artero IMPRESSED big time. KJ mercy KJ - a lot of things. I liked. - -Yes going to get a lot harder Saturday and Monday but liked some things

Well just broke right around 4, pretty much already knew but NOW it has came out that Arizona -Arizona St - - & Utah in serious talks with the Big 12, we are going to end up with a 16 team Conference

Wow - - sounds like things are about to jump right off the plank. It now sounds like from reports coming out that the BIG has fired back up talks about Oregon & Washington Reports are that they have re-open talks, things had cooled down with the change in Commissioners' but now heating up.

Now here is the thing not only is it being reported about Oregon & Washington but also considering Stanford and Cal -plus along keeping an eye on the ACC disruption mainly like Clemson & Florida State.

Thing is the BIG STILL does not want to be seen as the one that basically destroyed the PAC - -still wanting to see what happens to the PAC teams - Arizona - -Arizona St and that kind of thing. Now some of this could take a year or two but things are going to heat up quickly in some - -hold onto your butts. the scenery of College football is about to change drastically. - -

All of this just further points to the conversation of what it boils downs too is -the impulsion of the PAC - -and the impending impulsion of the ACC , don't laugh it's coming with Florida St and Clemson leading the way -all of this isleading us closer to the three Mega Conferences - -the A-3 with a totally different Governing committee seperate from the NCAa - WATCH - it's happening

Well pretty well settles that. Word has leaked just as sources had reported, that yes the PAC 12's Tv media isn't getting it cut. Reported Yes it is Apple so majority streaming, and streming IS NOT the future for live sports anyways the report is 20 Million pe School MAYBE , MAYBE depending on subscriptions a couple of Mil more.

Apple is buying out the PAC 12 Network which was a disaster and paying a one time payment of 70 Mil to the Conference which just coincidentally is what is the debt to comcast. The PAC is toast and you will be seeing Arizona come to the Big twelve,.

As far as Arizona St , & Utah - -screw Utah they just firmly believe they are better then the Big 12 not answering Big 12 calls being reported. - So we could stil see Arizona - -Arizona St - - & U Conn , Yormork really wants U Conn

Great Video/post on you tube - - Titled Pac 12 condition- -check it out

@rockchalkjayhawk said in The Big 12 conference:

rumor that the Big Ten will add Washington, Oregon, FSU, and Clemson this week.

That will pretty much open the door for the Arizonas and Utah to the Big 12?

The Florida St and Clemson add at this point will not happen , well more Clemson then Florida St but , sources say insiders say Clemson is not ready to make that move yet - -IF anyone moves it will be Florida St. - -Florida State , believes they found a way out of the GOR because they are ready to sue the ACC because of the tv media rights deal, basically fraud. - -Saying they are not getting what they were suppose to be getting

Been rumors that the ACC has lowered some kind of fee to 300 Million and teams could pay 30 Million annually in installments, so don't look for all 4 teams to join this week - - - maybe none.

If anything if the Big 1 ends up getting the 4 corner Schools THEN the BIG could very easily open the doors for Oregon & Washington, they had mentioned they did not want to be seen as the guys that's broke the PAC 12 , and said they would leave that kill shot to the Big 12, They also said they had no plans to expand any further at this present time , but again if the Big 12 ends up taking these 4 Schools then game on. All bets are off

@bskeet said in And then we have these discussions:

I would prefer quality over quantity for the Big 12. Getting to 16 doesn't get you more $$$ unless the additions represent markets that will drive up the value to TV (thinking of Oregon State and Washington State...)

The ACC could be thinking that allowing two unhappy members to leave is not so bad in an environment rich with replacements (like Stanford and Cal).

the only problem with Stanford & Cal is as I've been seeing from and hearing from podcasts and from fans of the PAC 12 is Stanford and Cal suck at their sports and tv media doesn't value their games they play , so they for sure don't bring any value.- -Their football games the sources say they are playing in almost totally empty stadiums, they suck in Basketball and to be quite frank arre a couple of teams that are in serious jeopardy of being left behind with the implosion of the PAC 12.

They were hoping to some degree that maybe they could get an invite from the BIG but BIG sources say there is 100 % no interest in those two Schools. -- They are in the same boat with the likes Of Washinton State , As far a the ACC , they really don't want to add these Schools either as they add nothing and you sure don't want to take on two lame duck schools to a conference that is already about to be in the same position as the PAC. - the most likely destination for Schools like Stanford and Cal is to stay put in the PAC as they race to find replacements other schools being mentioned to join the PAC 12 is San Diego St again SMU , Toledo & Tulane these are schools being mentioned for the PAC trying to replace schools leaving. Stanford and Cal either STAYS in the PAC or possibly if the league just implodes 100 % then like others end up in the Mountain West

Boy things could be really interesting in the next few days. - -Arizona having their Executive Board meeting tomorrow , we had heard that chances are that the Big 12 would only add one more and that would be it , and be at 14.

Not so sure now, talk is that Arizona , Arizona St , & Utah wanting to band together sign of solidarity, so now looks like what had been mentioned that in the end we might very well end up with all 3.

Here is where it interesting, Ol George is giving a media update tomorrow, word is that he will disclose the amount of the Media deal ,BUT according to Jason Scheer which is usually spot on in these expansion things is reporting that the deal is going to be 20 million payout per school and mostly streaming. - - -IF that is the Deal then the PAC is - -DONE PERIOD, you will see teams bailing left and right.
They have it figured with the big 12 well right now with the payouts from the NCAA tourney, multiple teams in - -multiple teams in the football playoffs with a 14 Big 12 league the pay out would be hitting 60 million - IF we were to go to a15 team league- - you probably looking North of 60 Million

Tomorrow will be a very telling day looking to the future. - - 14 Big12- - or 16 ? - -Sources say they STILL think in the end we end with 16

Well ol George Kliavkoff trying to pull off a last minute miracle. - -The PAC 12 /9 is having a meeting Tuesday and George trying to convince Arizona to stay , Sources say the chances ol George pulls that off is almost Nil.

Sources saying looks like /sounds like the BIG is going to allow the Big 12 to deliver the kill shot to the PAC 12.

Now an real interesting piece came out today that the Big 10 is adding Oregon - - Washinton - - Florida State - -& Clemson this week - -only can say WOW, not real sure that's happening but it has came out by multiple sources today.- - -Florida St is very PO'D at the Acc about the TV media deal, and they feel they have found the way out , they could sue the ACC because they are not getting the media amount that they were told and suing for fraud and withdrawing from the ACC. -

Later heard came out as breaking that the ACc has lowered the fees to 300 Million /buyout whatever and could be paid in 30 Million installments annually.

If this happens then sources say you then see the ACC start to implode, and w get closer to the - - -A-3 - -3 mega conferences of like 25-26 teams in these 3. - - which in turn you would see 4 ACC teams probably end up in the SEC - - 4 teams in the BIG - -& 4 teams in the BIG 12/ or whatever it would be called. We shall see I'm not that sure about this, but this is what came out this morning.

@Gorilla72 said in And then we have these discussions:

I’m concerned that if Oregon and Washington jumped to the Big 12, they would leave as soon as the B1G asked them. I’d rather do without them joining the Big 12.

Not to worry my friend. - - They not coming, keep your eyes on Arizona this coming week, would say they are like right about 85 % chance they going to be team 14. and could be as early as Tuesday,- - Brett want schools that want to be in the Big 12, Oregon and Washington just using us as a sleep over , even though the BIG says they not taking anybody right now - -you watch Arizona comes to the BIG 12 - -then BIG invitesd Oregon and Washington. - not to worry they won't be in the Big 12

Not sure if anyone has heard these things either, I mean there have been rumblings , and not saying it's happening tomorrow , or the yr or even the next, but we HAVE heard this before. What I/we think is happening is your seeing a trend and tey are talking about, wht we are going to end up happening is like having three MEGA CONFERENCES

Calling something like the - - A - -3 - -which very much like the - -BIG - - SEC - - & the Big 12 or whatever it will eventually be called as you can't keep it as the Big 12 when you have 14- -16 teams or whatever.

What sounds like trending your going to see these three mega conferenes in the end , with having 24-25 teams in each conference and they are going to break away from the NCAA and have a completely different Governing Body. Things not that far down the road going to put a totally different look to the College athletics scene

So now we come to this. There seems to be mixed feelings/discussions possibly as to what the Big 12 does next. - seems to be general consensus the Big 12 is now at 13 teams /schools for 2024. The question is we all know we are not staying at 13. So we have heard some saying we add one more team to bring it to 14 - -then there are several that say they think we still got 3 coming.

Some talk that the media /tv is saying ok whoaa let's add the 1 team and see how it goes with 14 teams for a bit all we add for now , but yet again I'm hearing from insiders they we are still looking to add 3 more teams

IF it is just one, pretty clear that Yormork has Targeted Arizona from the pack , although they have become a bit more dragging their feet lately . The talk is Yormork has been in touch with ALL PAC 12 institutions and visa versa. - There had been talk that Oregon was interested in coming. BUT Yormork has stated that we want schools who actually want to be here for the long haul, and Oregon & Washington starting to sweat the PAC 12 is imploding and the BIG is saying they are not looking to add at this point. That leaves Oregon and Washington in a situation - -Do they come to the BIG 12 and then bolt within 5 years with the next media negotiations ? or do they take a chance and try to ride it out with the PAC ? - -talk is they would want to come to the BIG 12, but Brett is not looking to be a stepping stone, and would be asking them to sign a long term deal.
So like I said we are really looking at Arizona - IF for some reason Arizona wants to stay on the titanic and sink then they are about to see their life line leave, a rumor has it that we have pretty much given any PAC 12 members to decide by Aug 1st then we are gone. -- If that turns out and still only one - -the rumor becomes that U Conn is up next Brett really wants to get the North East covered and adding U CONN would bring in the NY media market huge brand media Some feel that U Conn not as bad as people trying to make them out in football , and they are on the rebound. You don't expand for what you get now -you have to look 4-5 years down the road and people feel that they are improving with their new Coach.

Fitz from Power Cat .com on his daily dose is one who believes it's better if we end up still adding three more going to 16 - - still a lot of smoke around that too, gonna be or could be an interesting week coming up

@RockChalkinTexas said in Etymology: Dog Days of Summer:

Hello from red HOT Texas where we are close to 40 consecutive days of over 100 degrees. It's scary how dry it's become and no rain for the next couple of weeks. Our only hope is a tropical system saving us and that's not likely due to all the Saharan dust that keeps the ocean blanketed with even more heat.

I've heard that we aren't going to get to watch the games in Puerto Rico. Anybody know different?

RockChalk

I don't think they are being shown on any means my friend - - only broadcasting off the Jayhawk radio network which is Hanni I think, so your not alone - - -sorry

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Coach Self talks Puerto Rico & Roster:

Did he say anything about getting the dang games on tv, streaming or however!🤬 we only play where we can show it to our fans, coach!

No he didn't say anything about that

Coach with question and answer some things he said : - -He likes the roster , fairly athletic. - - - will have 10 practices by Monday , and says that the guys will have an eye opening experience when they play in Puerto Rico , just wants them to be able to compete but it's going to be an experience going against 26-27 year old grown men.

He made this statement and it's been mentioned in here he said: That our perimeter Shooting was going to be a big question mark going into Puerto Rico & the Season. Said Kevin as we know really good defensively but talked about having to guard probably the guy that went off for 46 points when he played us, could of probably went for 60 -- - I can't remember who that would of been last yr but that's what he said . - He said really no surprises everybody like they thought he would be.

The one thing he DID SAY was how big of difference there was in Kevin MCCullar - -said huge difference A LOT more aggressive , A LOT. - talking about how w have known has always ben aggressive defensively but or so I guess talking about A LOT more aggressive, be intrestin to see what he is talking about. - -redy or not it's getting close

@Woodrow said in 2024 Recruiting:

@jayballer67 said in 2024 Recruiting:

So what's the latest on Flory? Has anyone heard any updates ? - -Last I had heard is that thee was talk about him possibly making a decision pretty soon. - -Anything more ?

Sounds like it will be in August. Around August 12th or so.

oh , ok thanks bud

So what's the latest on Flory? Has anyone heard any updates ? - -Last I had heard is that thee was talk about him possibly making a decision pretty soon. - -Anything more ?

@bskeet said in The Big 12 conference:

The Big13.

Has a dissonant ring to it.

we won't have to listen to how it sounds at thirteen very long

Another tid bit from these expansion talks. -Rumor saying that Brett & Big 12 gave the four corner Schools and told them August 1st is the date- -the cut off day for the Schols to decide, if the Big 12 doesen't have decision - -by then - - well then we move on, & no double dipping

Some pretty good smoke with Arizona, one report saying could be done by Monday , ye another says possible vote by Thursday. Either way think they will be here in th end. Again watch out for Oregon State a lot more talk this afternoon sources saying Oreon State is hot

@FarmerJayhawk said in And then we have these discussions:

Tbh we don't really want to be here either

I don't think we are going to have to worry about them coming BUT they are meeting with Big 12 officials tonight to discuss expansion

@Texas-Hawk-10 said in And then we have these discussions:

@jayballer67 If Oregon amd Washington were the 15th and 16th teams, it would be the blow that losing two schools when you're already down to 8 or 10 schools would be. A 16 team Big 12 would be in a much better position to absorb potentially losing schools like Oregon and Washington than a potentially 8 team PAC 12 would be.

One of the most key points is and Brett has already showed this -- -is a key phrase , Brett only wants teams that wants to be here. - -the question is does Oregon and Washington really want to be here ? - -The simple answer is NO - - No they really don't - -they want the BIG, they are schools that think they are to good for the Big 12, their fan base has said as much, . - All they are doing if they did come is they are in a panic now, the BIG said Commissioner ( Tony Petetti )has said that the BIG is not interested in more expansion right now, and Washington & Oregon is now at a Defcon 5 because the BIG at this present moment says they are sitting pat and the PAC is a dumpster fire looking for a place to burn. - - So Washington & Oregon trying to find someplace to go, not because the Big 12 is where they want to be BUT where they feel they have to be.

That is not the type of scenario Brett is looking for - Utah is finding out how that works. Utah is another School that before really didn't want the Big 12 , and now Colorado has put the car in gear and the PAC is on their way to destruction and Utah is looking like - - -now what do we do, as they found out Utah hasn't even been given a verbal invitation that everybody was thinking that Utah would automatically be part of the 4 corner. - Brett has also said the Big 12 will not double Dip , taking teams from the PAC, so if you don't get invited NOW - - -your screwed cause we not coming back.

Now maybe Brett does invite Oregon, I think Washington STILL doesn't want and is not showing any interest in coming to the Big 12, so ya maybe , maybe Oregon does get the invite BUT they better not hesitate - -or they too will be left behind - just hate to see us add a team and then 4-5 yrs down the line they bolt.

So now we go through the formality of Colorado submitting the request to come back to the Big 12 , that's at 4 this afternoon. , Arizona now on the clock which also seems to be a very strong possibility.- -then Arizona St.

That Brings us the 4th School. Who will be the 4th School if we do end up taking 4 which seems to be the general rumor . For the longest time it has been speculated it would be Utah , but Brett also has made the statement that he only wanted Schools that wanted to be here. Utah had been kind of reluctant. , dragging their feet , well now that the 1st part of the down fall of the PAC 12 has been set in motion - - -now there is panic for Utah as now we are finding out that Utah hasn't been given that verbal invitation to the Big 12 by Brett.

Well now there has been rumor that there is another PAC 12 School that is interested in the BIG 12 and not one of the 4 corner schools, has been a lot of smoke about the possibility of it being Oregon St. The thinking is it would give them that 4th time zone they been looking for automatically.

A fe other sources saying it's Oregon might be the other School. - -That would be great, BUT kind of a mixed review/bad. - -As most know Oregon & Washington have been wanting to get into the BIG. The BIG commissioner as of 12 hours ago stated that the BIG has no desire to expand any further at the present time and want to focus on scheduling, Olympic sports and various other things , ye we have also hear that Washington and Oregon had already been vetted by the BIG. Sooo which is it ? - The BIG has ben quoted or so thy say is that they don't want to be the ones that are made out to be the one's who destroyed the PAC
12. So now the Colorado has made it's move they could possibly go ahead and accept Washington & Oregon but yet says not interested at adding at present.

So here is the deal , Rumor has it that Washington & Orgon are going to try one more time for acceptance from the BIG , so what happens if they get rejected ? Then Oregon applies to the Big 12 , like I said great would be a great add BUT what you have to realize is if accepted by Big 12 Oregon could very easily bolt in like 5 years for the BIG even been a little talk about both Washing AND Oregon to the Big 12 if BIG says no. but again mixed bag cause they will run like a stripped s Ape if BIG were to offer, then Big 1 would be right back to looking for replacement teams just like wehn Texa and Oklahoma pulled their BS - -gonna get interesting real quick

They talking about what they are calling a A-3 system breaking it down to like 26 teams in each Conference -that's BS, but I guess they thinking about possibilities - -it would be the BIG - - SEC - -& Big 1 although would be way more then twelve. - they had a graph showing the teams in the different conferences can't even remember them all, it was on one of the podcasts. - -I hope it doesn't come to that

Talk on the podcast from insiders saying Utah may have just screwed themselves for joining the Big 12 . Source saying Utah hasn't even been given a verbal invite from the Big 12,, Utah thinking they better , now where you at ? -

Also tonight the Big 12 voted unanimously to accept Colorado into the Big 12, even though Colorado hsn't YET asked, But that comes tomorrow 3:00 Standard time. - -The talk is Arizona now on the move - -already they had an emergency meeting tonight , the talk right now is Arizona - Colorado - - Arizona state although they really didn't want to leave the Pac that much, but did say whatever Arizona did they would follow, and then LOT'S of smoke about the surprise team being Oregon State - -Brett has stated that he only wants teams that wants to be here ( the Big 12 ) -Utah was luke warm on coming to Big 12 - -now might bite them in the ass

@Jethro said in And then we have these discussions:

I'm hearing it's Wazzu.

No don't think so, just got through listening to podcast ad WSU just doesn't bring enough, & I guess probably not Oregon St either even though there was a lot of buzz should be interesting tomorrow. Colorado votes tomorrow - -well public meeting but all sources saying tomorrow is just a formality, for Colorado to apply for Big 12 , cause rumor has it Colorado already been given verbal invitation - -Some seem to think the other school other then the 4 corners might be Oregon, BUT others saying Oregon believes BIG invite now coming since Colorado has made their move to get the ball rolling.

@FarmerJayhawk said in And then we have these discussions:

I think Oregon is the other one

Very possible, although pretty reliable source on these thing shas been stating keep your eyes on Oregon State. But no matter the PAC is done.

The conversation has been that Prime was big in this, ever since he was hired by Colorado he wanted to be able to recruit in Big 12 territory/Texas. The PAC destroyed itself by messing around and not getting any media deal. - Ol George trying to bluff his wy through saying things were looking up cause the longer they waited that more suitors were coming to the table. -Word is Pac wanted to high of media deal at any rate, Arizona hsa called an emergency meeting tonight, Oregon State had an emergency meeting yesterday, and word is that if they do get an invite - -Oregon State is a done deal. -- Utah better get their act together and get off their high horse thiking they better then Big 12- -or get left behind - so much going on right now

Lots and lots of Smoke about Oregon St. being said if Big 12 gives an invite- - it's a done deal. - - Talk about Utah needs to get off the all mighty horse and come to Big 12 or get left behind.

Colorado to announce Friday. - -Arizona, ha emergency regents meeting tonight - -could very well be Colorado - -Arizona - - Arizona St and Oregon St

BOOOOM ! ! ! AND SO NOW IT BEGINS !. The 1st step in expansion is now i motion. - -just came out, well Colorado had a Board of regents today, and now have scheduled a public meeting for tomorrow which they have to do sa following procedure in moving /leaving the Pac 12. - -open to public tomorrow, Media is just blowing up - - On top of that Big 12 Presidents having a meeting tonight, presumably to discuss expansion - - -there ya go - -sounds or I smell well media smells lots of smoke and see the fire.

Watch now you about to see the BIG now there is talk that talks have been going behind the scenes that the BIG is more likely then not to take Oregon , Washington , Standford AND cal. - -you will also see Arizona move before long and chances are Arizona State and even Utah just like was talked about for moths and months.

It's here expansion is on the horizon like it or not - - it's coming

@Jethro said in And then we have these discussions:

@jayballer67 said in And then we have these discussions:

Man this stuff is so crazy. - Tibits : - - Apple wants the entire media rights for the PAC 12, which would be 100 % streaming and the Pac 2 Presidents saying - - umm nope. , so Apple saying umm NOPE.

PAC 12 running out of options, agree with them on Apple though as that would be 100 % streaming and like was said that's a recruiting killer.

The popular belief is that the PAC 12 schools know what the Media numbers are and there comin in about 12 Millon dollars less then BIG 12 and only best they have would be 20 % linear - - NOT GOOD.

Dead on arrival. There was a graph floating around Twitter that showed that Colorado has lost over 67 million dollars since going to the Pac12 versus if they had stayed in the B12. I'm thinking they'll be back soon.

I totally agree, and actually it is 70 Million they have lost and only one winning season.- - add to that Prime is after them to bolt because gives Colorado better access to Texas recruiting.. Another thing is too and some don't lie it , but it is becoming much more of a possibility that U Conn will be added.

True their football won't add much value right now the general overall view is when you expand it's not what your getting now -- it's what it will be 5-6 years down the road. U Conn Mora is their ne Coach took them to a bowl game in his 1st year and wasn't that long ago they were a decent team in football - - plus the media market in the East is what Yormark is looking for, - Plus there CAN NOT be any debate period as to the Value their men's & Womens Basketball teams will bring now. Immediate value. Yormark is working on a totally different view as he is looking to separate the Football media rights from Basketball getting a media deal too for basketball - -totally separate and there is if that's the case then U Conn should be a no brainer to add in the Conference.

The popular belief is that the PAC 12 schools know what the Media numbers are and there comin in about 12 Millon dollars less then BIG 12 and only best they have would be 20 % linear - - NOT GOOD.

Dead on arrival. There was a graph floating around Twitter that showed that Colorado has lost over 67 million dollars since going to the Pac12 versus if they had stayed in the B12. I'm thinking they'll be back soon.

@jayballer67 I feel like we have a LOT of company. It's just the way of the world now. No respect, no morals, no sense of community or loyalty. And I believe it's going to keep getting worse. I don't normally consider myself to be negative on a large scale, but I do try to be realistic. :man_shrugging_light_skin_tone:

I agree buddy kinda sad

Was a prank gone awry, not a serious threat. My hunch is it's overcharged but we will see.

I can think of about 1,000 pranks off the top of my head without any of them being something like this. I'm sur he is no longer a member of the team and is facing some charges -, kid needs to find a different hobby cause he is sur not a comedian

Mercy we ( KU ) just can't seem to get any kind of a break in our athletic. - Just seems for the past 4-5 yrs there has been some kind of incident in our athletic dept. Football -- Basketball , whatever players alleged of things that has happened or whatever, just not a good look.

@FarmerJayhawk said in And then we have these discussions:

@jayballer67 that may be how it turns out! I just don't think the gap will be large enough for the presidents and chancellors to actually pull the plug.

Just since I posted my response have seen where Multiple sources saying U Conn will be joining the Big 12 within the next week to ten days.
Asfar as the PAC 12 -bottom line is they have no media deal, these parents are wanting to know how they are going to be able to see their kid play - -These schools are 100 % against all streaming, and that's Apples answer.

Ol George all we he can say oh we wil announce soon the deal - -he has been saying that for almost an entire year - -and STII nothing . If Colorado is the 1st school that jumps and that is the most popular speculation, if they jump then the domino's fall - BIG teh in turn goes for Oregon & Washington & then in turn you will see following Colorado--these two schools are fed up with the mess the PAC has turned into-- there wil be nothing left

Hutch mine levels of salt. I bet the PAC stays together and Yormark comes back and says well basketball is actually the future, so let’s have UConn and Gonzaga play in Singapore

I don't think there is any chance in hell the PAC stays together.. Oh sur they say they want to stay together, what would you expect them to say. They STILL have no Tv media deal, Apple is there only option and they are not going to settle for 100% streaming, Colorado fan base is NOT HAPPY. they keep hearing they gonna get some numbers on the deal - -and steal nothing. Ol Geroge is killing himself, he has screwed up so bad and the statement he made at their media days was lethal , you talk about talking out both sides of your mouth - just see NO WAY, they looking for a deal of 50 Mil to keep up with the Big 12 - that's figuring the playoff/bowl monies and everything else.

Like they said noboby gonna sign a GOR with tv Media deal and they don't have that , and reports are the numbes they are hearing is no want they wanted, a lot less - -just can't see it

@wissox said in Future Basketball Opponents:

Awesome! Did Roy not want that to happen?

No, Roy was against a home and home because of the emotion involved for him which is a fair reason to me.

Also, unless they play in the NCAA Tournament this season, this will only be the 13th all time meeting with series currently tied 6-6 with KU havingwon the last 4 meetings. Next season will only be the 2nd time ever UNC has traveled to Lawrence and 2025 will be the first time KU has ever played in Chapel Hill.

I can't remember exactly the year been some time ago, but i DID go to the only other time they came to the Phog - -Dean Smith and his famous 4 corners stall. That was the most boring thin to watch , especially when you were behind , and he could and would use at various time in the 2nd half - -hatd them then just boring to watch

Things are looking good with Flory

Boy that would be some great news, I think I heard it's not going to be very long before he makes his decision

well now that the Pac 12 commish failed yet- - - AGAIN to deliver at the Pac 12 media days yet- -ONCE AGAIN. - -things are really heating up. A reporter says FWIW this reporter out of Florida ( UCF ) saying that according to sources that Colorado and U Conn well let it been known that they are accepting the invitations to join the Big 12 should be announced by the end of the week - -take that wit a grain a salt but still
