I am trying to find it but it was literally one of the commonly published rumors around the first month or so after UCLA/USC left. Big12 apparently offered Oregon and Washington and one of the parts of the offer was that they would have a no exit fee clause if offered membership in the B1G.
The logic was that they may get 1-2 years with both either way and it forces the hands of Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, and Utah.
Ultimately though, I think the Big12 just wants the Pac12 dead because that is one less league to compete against.
Ugh... then again maybe this is what I saw. If so, my apologies. However, I thought there was more noise about it back then with explanations as to why they did it (it was really more a move to kill Pac12 than actually expecting to get Oregon and Washington long-term).
I’m sure everyone in the PAC has contacted the B12 but there is zero chance the B12 has promised anyone anything.
All three are fighting over crumbs at this point so I don't see it. I don't think it matters whether the PAC 12 or the ACC is around or not. Big 12 schools aren't going to get more money no matter which teams from non SEC or B1G teams join them at this point. (Except ND and that ain't happening.) Which available teams do you think would cause the Big 12's teams to see an increase in their current share of the pie?
I am not bipolar, and I assume that you didn't read the rest of the posts where I explained the apparent contradiction. Go read my responses. it doesn't make sense economically. That doesn't mean the B1G has a problem that might get solved by bringing in teams for reasons other than economics.
Hence starting my post with, "Don't know who this dude is,"
people laugh about him since he continues to throw things on a wall hoping one sticks
The B12 sole purpose for grabbing these teams is to be #3. There is no illusion anywhere they’ll be able to match much less get a higher price compared to the P2. But if a breakaway would occur, the B12 would like to think they could be part of it.
Yeah that dude is a crazy B12 homer praying the PAC parishes. Usually the stuff he states that ends up being true is already put out by someone more reputable. But I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy his tweets and the number of Oregon State and Utah fans that reply claiming it’s all B12 propaganda is comedy gold.
Will be alot longer than 2 years. Plus our budget is already 1/3 of what was promised to be at this time.
Oregon and Washington bouncing is going to jettison you to the MWC. Yeah you’ll get a severance and then not make close to what you have been making being in a P5. Ohh, and you all still gotta pay $5 mill each to Comcast.
not sure what everyone is waiting for over there
