[QUOTE="TCUdirtbag, post: 3163698, member: 61297"] Disagree. Too soon to know whether the Big 12 or Pac 12 survive. In a sense, though, everyone not named or a member of the SEC or B1G is a dead man walking. Don’t agree we are “by far the most attractive”. It’s a tight race. We should be in the race. But we have positives (you identify two) and negatives. College football is national. Having a “presence” in a state/region is decreasing in importance—-especially if we’re headed toward a B1G/SEC world with an effective B-league. The B1G will kick the tires on programs that make financial sense. That’s it. Same comments as above re: decreasing importance of geography. PAC-12 isn’t in a position to be in a hurry until the B1G signs a new media deal and they know who’s still in. This conspiracy framing is tired. ESPN, FOX, etc. have inventories to fill and ads/streaming subscriptions to sell. They want the best content at the lowest price. That’s it. It’s not personal. Shedding some overpriced deadweight is good for their bottom line. So is creating intriguing matchups and balanced programming from 12pm-12am ET and 9am-12am PT on Saturdays, plus prime time on Thursdays and Fridays. Consolidation may work to our advantage honestly if it brings more bidders to the table. [/QUOTE]
