At a freewheeling press conference during Nixon's Visit to China, a reporter asked Chinese Minister Chou En-Lai what he thought about the French Revolution (1789-1799). Chou replied, "Too soon to tell..."

At the time, the Chinese CCP had never seen American Media and Reporters doing as they would. To the hardened CCP members, reporters did what they were told, or they were simply shot out of hand. Since it would be problematic to handle the reporters in the customary manner, they played along to try and gain face with the Media.

Interesting interview here with Yormark:
Start at 4:00, but the most interesting stuff is at about 16:00 on the TV deal. Nothing new, just interesting to hear him talk about how quickly he understood that the Big 12 needed to renew with Fox and ESPN.
I could stand to hear the 'corporate-speak' neologism "credentialize" a little less, preferably never again in my entire life. Likewise, "celebritize": what could make celebrity culture even more noxious than turning the ubiquitous noun into a grotesque verb? But... whatever. Yormark understands the culture and the industries that college sports is working with now. If I were in charge this thing would be a disaster.

I like it but I have a hard time understanding how a university president is basing his decision on Coach Prime. He just got there. Does he have that much pull?

When one network that airs re-runs of Reba from 2006 offers you $5mm for media rights and the other is the big 12…..easy choice

Yes, they own those stations, but not the content rights.
The talks between CW & PAC have ended anyway, as without a coast to coast network of owned stations and content, the CW does not provide a viable solution.
Also the PAC tier 2/3 games were the only ones being discussed.
So the P12 appears to be back at square one with roughly a $9m per team linear offer for 2 games/week, one analog and one digital, and a $13m streaming offer.

I hope that ION or CW offers enough to get the PAC. Keep them off of the ESPN and fox networks which allows more selection for BIG12 games.

I read that today. It appeared around the 3pm hour they stated that maybe one of their infos might be wrong about Arizona at least. Haven’t checked back since then.
