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


Would be by far lowest per school among P5 doe

Because the PAC-12 without UCLA and USC was the lowest tier P5 conference.

$30M/year per school wouldn't have been far behind the ACC. ACC has better TV markets, especially with the PAC-12 losing the Los Angeles/SoCal markets. And PAC games have the worst time slots for an east coast audience where the most TV eyeballs are at.

The ACC paid its members $36,000,000 in 2021 and the new Big 12 was supposed to pay schools $31,600,000 per year ( LINK for both numbers). If the PAC-12-2 could have gotten $30,000,000 per school and then expanded by 2-4 teams they could have made another $5,000,000-$10,000,000 per school and been ahead of the Big12 and around what the ACC makes. If this claim is true then it is just another example of the arrogance of the PAC12 killing itself.
