Guess he’s spilling the tea now that the conference is dead.

More and more of this blame is starting to fall on the schools than George Kliavkoff, imo.
This is a good deal. The Apple deal was a good deal with potential to be a great deal.

The media loves to push the narrative that the Big 10 and the Big 12 killed the PAC.
The PAC-12 did this to themselves

None of this is surprising. What a bunch of arrogant, delusional bastards. Hard to feel sorry for them.

if that's true, then holy crud, those presidents are dumb as hell. $30M/school? all things considered (size of fanbases in pac-12, interest, attendance, low population in west coast, etc), that's a damn good deal that they refused

Was this before or after USC and UCLA left?
And I bet they were comparing that deal to what the Big XII and ACC were making

TBH, I only watch PAC-12 After Dark because I decompress after being at a game and like to see what's going on over there solely to fill time. I think SEC schools make just over that $50 million amount, no?

"Greed" it's amazing what money does to people with how poisonus they become in wanting more and more and more. Smdh It really is, looking at how the PGA has sold out to LIV golf for money as well as other situations concerning other sports. It's just really amazing to me how far they'll go to get what they want. Smh-Lol

Where is that bicycle meme where the rider sticks a stick in the wheel spokes to trip himself?
Someone should do that for the Pac10 (one of THE premier conferences in college history)…. They frickED up.

ESPN offering that much is insane
Posted on 8/11/23 at 10:56 am to 1999
And these are smart schools?
Posted on 8/11/23 at 11:13 am to 1999
Perhaps my biggest takeaway is that ESPN did not stupidly bid against itself. $30 million each was probably still an overpay, though.

they asked for 50 million after USC and UCLA already announced their departure to the B10????
Talk about not knowing your worth. I have zero sympathy for Stanford and Cal. They've been long due for a a slice of humble pie. Oregon State and Washington State seem to be more in touch with reality. I hope they find a home.

ESPN and then make a deal with Prime, or Apple to stream it. This a great working model for the NFL and MLB. It's hindsight, but working with technology and finding the money tree isn't that hard with the models out there.
It may not be the sudden windfall that the SEC has with national contracts, but you water it, and in time, it grows the market. Today, the money is in streaming. And soon all sports will have to embrace it.

Let’s remember that the Big 12 arrived at a deal — sans Texas and Oklahoma (who will leave next year) — for $31.7 million per school.
So ESPN offered a fair competitive price-point w/o USC/UCLA...
Damn, don't look a gift horse in the mouth.
You see what a house of cards the PAC was without USC, who hated the current revenue share deal while in the past they always got more than everyone else. Don't bite the hand that feeds ya.

That's hilarious, it's from the same people that thought they were too good for the Texas and Oklahoma schools not too long ago. No wonder Texas and OU bolted to the SEC, when they saw the company they wouldve had to keep with the PAC.

Wasn't Scott passing on Texas, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, and Oklahoma St back in 2011 the beginning of the end for them? But we just didn't know it at the time? Would their additions be enough to keep USC and UCLA from bailing? How much would they be worth now if they added those schools then, and kept USC and UCLA?

What's really messed up is the #1 person that blocked the Pac12 from taking the deal, ended up taking the deal.
After the Pac12 Presidents (Michael Crow) rejected the deal, the following month (10/22) the Big 12 took that deal from ESPN. Pac12 is toast.
Then Colorado, Utah, and the Arizona schools joined the Big 12 for the same deal.

This deal never would have been signed. Oregon/Washington going to the Big 10 was the worst kept secret in sports at that time. Had the other Presidents been willing to take the deal UO and UW would have pulled the rug out and been Big 10 members last Fall. Instead the Big 10 was able to slow play it. ESPN isn't giving $30mil without the two biggest remaining brands.
