I think they have seven of the eight needed already. I would imagine those seven could find one more to join with them given the required incentives.

Great stuff I love innovation. They could take it internationally to play teams around the world get international media dollars. Partner with NBA and othe Pro Sports leagues globally. I would watch TCU play in Greece Australia Canada anywhere. I think he is a great commissioner. Could creat entire new markets to sell college team jerseys shoe contracts etc.

Why would the rest of the 4 corners stay in the Pac with a horrendous media deal and with OreDub getting larger shares while still having B1G wet dreams? No way.

If Utah holds out, UConn in Big12?
Hear me out, what about UNLV? Vegas is becoming a huge sports market. They play at Allegiant Stadium, which Vegas can fill with comps/sports betters.
UConn is probably better in the short term, but I could see UNLV with a lot more upside.
I’d much rather go to away game in Vegas.

It’s probably a good move to separate BB from FB, but nobody knows for sure.
It’s not like basketball isn’t a consideration now, so the only gain is any possible slack in the current system.
But the gain wouldn‘t be more than about $5m per team. With 14 teams $5m would be $70m per year. There is no way there is more slack than that for just regular season basketball broadcasts.
The B12 had a great March Madness with $32m, but it was still <$3m per team.
If they are added as B-ball only, without every Olympic sport there is & FB,
I am all for Gonzaga and UConn.

This is just posturing by a bunch of academic administrators who are all hypocrites and/or pompous asses. No need to panic. The deal hasn't improved and the basic facts remain. Reality has mugged ASU, now they're just kicking their legs while it drags them to the Big 12.

The main problem is Las Vegas is becoming a pro sports town and I am not sure even UNLV fans care about UNLV. Opposing MWC fanbases outdraw UNLV fans at the basketball conference tournament every year even though its played on UNLV's home floor.
UNLV is pretty much what UTA is - a commuter school filled with mostly locals who grew up in the area

No. These are basketball ONLY options. No one is paying top dollar for these schools. We need to keep our future contract $$ high.
