[QUOTE="Limey Frog, post: 3299967, member: 16969"] I don't think Colorado comes alone; I still think that [I]if[/I] they move the whole thing unravels and you get everyone else, too. But at this point, I don't believe they're moving. The Pac 12 "negotiations" seem like some much more complicated* version of repeatedly asking "how about now?" Then, when the answer is still something other than "yes, at $350M/yr", Kliavkoff tells member schools that a deal is "imminent" but there's nothing to present yet. Then those schools' administrators tell their people that they can't in good faith think about moving until they know the final terms of the deal. Then Kliavkoff goes back to the media companies and asks "how about now?" Colorado's leadership is going to sit tight because they don't actually want to be in the Big 12, and eventually it will be so late in the day that moving for the fall of 2024 will not be logistically feasible. At that point, and only at that point, Kliavkoff will serve up the details of an utter s--t sandwich and tell everyone they have to eat it. [*No, I'm not a media rights consultant, nor have I ever negotiated a multi-million dollar contract. I've seen a few articles to the effect that people don't really understand how this works, blah blah blah. Well, of course we don't know the finer nuances of a job we don't personally do; no one does. But is it obvious that this thing hasn't gone to plan and still isn't going to plan? Yes. If you're smart enough to be the Chancellor of the University of Colorado, you don't have to be an expert to know that this thing is a dumpster fire and is beyond the point of hope that it will end well. If you're still waiting at this point, you've committed to wait forever.] [/QUOTE]
