It appears that expansion news is coming very soon. That MHVer3 guy is back tweeting after nearly 4 months silent. He claims that the PAC is dead pretty much for sure. Four of the PAC schools and Kliakoff pushed hard to take the deal that was $250M, but 6 schools said there was no way they were taking that deal. The deal consisted of Amazon taking the 11 best football games and 18 BB games for $100M/yr for 4 years. ESPN would take the remaining games for $150M.

He claims the maximum value for B12 expansion is taking 6 specific schools from the PAC. A few of the schools could be interchangeable within the CA market. Media consultants are claiming that the six schools alone could be worth the $250M that the PAC is being offered for the 10 members because of matchups being created in the B12. This would move B12 schools in the neighborhood of $35M each for every member.

The six schools in order are OR/WA/Stanford/CO/AZ/ASU. He says Utah can be substituted for any of the last 3 and value remains. The problem is Stanford would rather “die on the vine” than join the B12, and Cal as a replacement indicates the same. So this means that SDSU could really be in play for the B12 because the CA market is so valuable.

He also claims that basketball only members are in play. Everyone knows about Gonzaga but talks are currently going on with Villanova as well, and UCONN & St Johns are in play. Any basketball moves will come after expansion out West which appears to be really happening soon.

Dodd has us on the #3 line in Albany. Seems to be a common thread there.


Although two Big XII #1 Seeds with KU and Tejax.

We're going to be running late, so the closer the better (but any will do).

The Cyclones and Jayhawks tip off at 11:00 a.m. inside Hilton Coliseum. The game will be carried on ESPN. I’ll have the periodic court-side updates for you in the thread below.

Hope this works.

Tamin's 4 turnovers came at a terrible time but our 3 super senior's had 4,4,3.

That whip pass for the dunk. Like a QB fitting it into a tiny window and for him to be able to catch it cleanly and dunk. Play of the year so far.

Any thoughts on why ISU moved the renewal deadline up a Month? I personally don't like it.

Safety pledge Davis digs deeper into Wednesday decision

The latest:

I am late in getting my ticket for the UNI match. Their ticket office hours suck so thought I would bite the bullet and pay the $5 "handling" charge for on line ordering.

To my surprise the ticket price is $28. Every ticket is Gen. Admission. So a total of $33. I know Schwab pretty well. I just emailed him telling him I hoped Harris was giving him a commission on every ticket sold as his program is responsible for selling out the MacLeod Center.

And some of my UNI friends bitch about the FB ticket prices when they play in Ames!!!

I’ve had it “penciled in” that we lose in Morgantown. I feel like if we can steal a win there, it somewhat negates one of our road losses to Okie State and Tech.

Sounding like an Amazon deal offer for the remaining Pac schools that comes to $25 million per year. There is no extra for expansion. And Oregon and Washington want a bigger share than the rest (aka Texas and Oklahoma). Schools will have to sign a 7 year GOR to get the deal, and that's not going to happen. This is a soap opera in the making, and two schools trying to dictate to the rest that "we are worth more" than you. And that is probably the case, but I sure don't want them in the conference dictating things.

Seems Royce is a targeted man now... See text box in attached file...

Are there any good teams in NCAA division 1 this year?

WOI…

New coach, same team full of aholes. Eff that whole school.

Not a fan of the cheer, and even less when I heard his folks were in the 1st row. I suppose he's heard it before.
