My guess: SMU gets added quickly to replace Colorado

[ttowncoug]

They are in a position to jump.

Dallas is a bigger TV market than Denver.

Allows time for SDSU and another team, my guess Tulane to be added.

SMU, SDSU and CSU. Assuming more dominos don’t fall which is a big assumption at this point.

If the TV deal is better than B12, it will be interesting to see if we add 3, or even 5, instead of 1.

Add UNLV and be done with it. MTN West here we come!!!

The TV deal will NOT be better then the Big 12 deal.

In order to have gotten a deal better then the Big 12, the PAC would have had to:

1. Not lose anybody else in addition to UCLA, USC, unless it's WSU/Ore St. Losing Colorado, has LOWERED the deal even more.

2. While keeping everybody, adding SDSU, SMU, UNLV.

3. While keeping everybody not named USC, UCLA, and after adding SDSU, SMU, UNLV, then doing a scheduling Alliance with the ACC.

4. Then after all that, then doing about a 38 million per team deal, that bigger then the Big 12 deal

Losing Colorado KILLED THAT.

The PAC deal BEFORE losing Colorado, and before, without expanding, no alliances, etc, was 21 mil to 23 mil per team.

After losing Colorado, and if expand, the deal will probably be about 15 mil to 17 mil to 20 mil per team. If also do Alliance in addition, then 17 mil to 20 mil to 23 mil per team.

If no expansion, no alliance, no lose anyone else then about 12 mil to 14 mil to 16 mil per team.

If no expansion, if no alliance, and if lose more PAC colleges, then it will be about 7 mil to 9 mil to 11 mil per team.

Big 12 deal is 31.7 mil per team.

PAC deal will NOT be better then the 31.7 per team Big 12 deal.

I'm not convinced we see Denver as a highly important market at this point. The best brand is CU. CSU....doesn't move the national TV needle IMO. CU didn't draw huge TV or gate numbers. Deon is a flash in the pan and is gone when a better job comes or when he gets fired.

I hope you're right, however unfortunately the pac-12 does nothing quickly.

They have to act.

I honestly think they all thought/felt everyone was on board. Foolish. I'm quite shocked there isn't some legal "stand down" agreement that keeps everyone at the table during negotiations. I can't imagine trying to negotiate a TV deal with uncertainty who is in vs. out. Maybe there was, and it expired after 12 months.

I think Pac12 presidents look way down at UNLV.

Yeah - 6 days ago at media days Kliavkoff said being poached was not a concern. 6 days later, Colorado is gone. That is beyond foolish. More like stupid and clueless.

Not sure what you mean here. Look way down like look down their noses? Or look down and consider UNLV?

And Pac-9 presidents have proven to have no clue.
