ESPN is scrambling to formulate and implement a plan to maximize future revenue of their PAC/ACC/SEC interests. A good deal is when everybody is happy, or a least the most important players, and the PAC and ACC need some fixing. ESPN may be telling the PAC teams to settle down, the Big 12 will still be there for them and ESPN at a later date, and, ESPN may be dictating as the only serious bidder to the Big 12 at that time anyway.

I think the speculation is a big part of the fun here but maybe I’m the only one

You have to learn more about the "new" math. Who knows which is better.....And isn't the anticipated Big-12 payout to be around 40 million per school (post-OUT-exit)? Calling on my old high school Related Math classes, isn't that almost double the anticipated Pac-12/10 payout?

That there is a likely scenario where the big 12 is at 20 teams, stretches coast to coast, and is the third power conference is amazing from a year ago. Fun to imagine.
In that scenario the west teams might literally never play the east teams in football, and maybe most other sports. That's a TV $ arrangement, not a conference. Basically two separate leagues as far as on the field competition.
You have a dirty, whorish mouth.
Yes .... when the BIG/SEC are finished, they will be at plus/minus 20 teams and will basically be 2 leagues each too.

ACC, Pac 12 discussing ESPN TV partnership - Sports Illustrated
The proposal between the leagues comes after the Big Ten’s addition of USC and UCLA.

We need to get our tv partners lined up and grab the top ACC teams before they go to SEC, or Big 10. East is better than West. I don’t want to have a conference in every time zone. ACC will dissolve and so will the GOR.
ESPN wouldn’t piss on the Big 12if we were on fire. It is an arms race to get the big brands! We aren’t racing. Clemson and the rest could make a ton of money and have an easier path to playoffs in Big 12 ACC big team conference. SEC and Big 10 are murderers row. More money less chance to make postseason.

What exactly makes the Big 10 "murderers row"?

Yeah, let's ask Clemson and FSU if they want to come. Bet they're just waiting on an invite.

But in all seriousness, remember about a decade ago when there was chatter about FSU, Miami, Clemson and GT going to the B12? That would have been the time to expand and maybe we would have avoided all this but I wholeheartedly believe that discussions with OUT, USCLA, SEC, ESPN, etc have been going on for over a decade and everyone has just been holding steady until the contracts expired.

@Gary's Shirtless Revenge I am curious what happen to "Relegation"? There is a lot of dead weight in both SEC/BIG with Vandy, SC, Mizzou, NW, Rutgers..etc.
Seems like if this great Revolution of the Big Two is really going to occur, they would be removing all these schools that really offer very little.
Can you shed some light on these areas?

Or as Baylor calls it Single Party Consent!
Not even on the same planet as Alabama/LSU/Texas A&M/Georgia/Florida/Texas/Oklahoma/Auburn/Ole Miss.
And if you want to say, what do you mean, Texas sucks, I'll say the same thing about USC, UCLA, Michigan State, and maybe Iowa too.

Will ESPN Once Again Attempt to Jeopardize the Big 12?
Even though we are in the offseason, it has been a nonstop roller coaster ride of news over the last several days. Last week, news broke that USC and UCLA are heading to the Big Ten and that left the other ten schools in a bit of a panic. There have been dozens of reports […]
