Publicly, Yomark has stated B12 is done. But as we all know those often mean nothing. So are they still considering the idea of us with production capital….probably. Only chance is if Stan and Cal disappear.
the value of the production assets is being disputed on twitter by Bob Thompson....he thinks there is none.
None seems extreme but not much seems plausible. Cameras, production equipment etc. less than $10m?
Bob Thompson is the former head of Fox Sports, that Wilner and Canzano have been sourcing the past 12 months.
This guy sucks, and did you see how accurate the two guys he was feeding info to were? Big12 wants production capability to produce STREAMABLE content under its own authority and sell it to companies like Amazon, and Max. The infrastructure is already in place and the physical capital exists. To Fox it’s worth whatever it’s worth, to Big12 it’s worth whatever potential there is in streaming games + the $ it takes to plan, staff, and build a production network.
Some companies take over other ones to shut them down, others do it to assimilate and build the business. Yes, Fox has no use for another production studio, but a conference about to get into selling their own content….They aren’t worried what comcast or anyone would do cause it’s not going onto TV.
You have Notre Dame, George Bush, and Condoleeza Rice pushing for this. None of these have any future stakes in how well the ACC members fare. Why do they get any voice? Well George wants SMU in a power league. Condeleeza wants Stanford to have a spot. Notre Dame wants to keep the ACC alive, so they can stay independent, but also gets to use the ACC to play big names.
Because Notre Dame is "special".

Spaceballs reference!Looking on Twitter or X or whatever and not finding anything concrete...
