Post a pic that makes you lol

Good points... I guess we will see if the same pattern follows the Cardinals with either Rosen, or Murray (if picked)...

This could be much of nothing, but; as I see it; it's interesting that Oregon Duck mega-booster mentioned both Larry Scott (strong supporter), & Bob Bowlsby (long time PAC acquaintance), as instrumental in future endeavors: *BTW, I see it as far more possible for a XII & PAC merger, than a far less possible 100 team split from NCAA in future... The way I see it, PAC schools are hemorrhaging revenue, trying to keep athletics afloat vs earnings in SEC/ B1G & PAC, an alliance has been discussed, (& I think USC is listening to a "more than" alliance, if offered revenues in $60+ million per year, in a league with both Oklahoma & Texas on the annual roster...- Dallas Cowboys 2019 Offseason Thread of Mediocrity

Don't be surprised to see ESPN make a strong push to gain PAC brands in XII fold, ESPN now has 3rd tier rights to ACC/ SEC & XII schools, plus Ivy League & G5 leagues: & as recently ESPN offered to carry PACN on new deal into the 2030's/ Larry Scott said no... Technically, OU 3rd tier is branded, at this point by Fox, but no longer owned by Fox... As Disney purchased the Fox RSN's as part of deal that gained 21st Century Fox deal... Ironically, the (former) Fox RSN's might be bought by the likes of Charter/ MLB, or Ice Cube's "Big3": So, don't be surprised to see ESPN use the signing of 3rd tier rights with XII brands as a tool that could help "move brands around" in the event PACN equity sale fails, as currently, Oklahoma - $52m. per yr./ Texas - $59m. per yr., out-earn not only both SEC @ $41m. per yr, but B1G @ $51m. per yr... Keep in mind, USC, the "king" of PAC brands, is behind XII "kings" OU & UT on average between $20 to $25+ million less than the #RedRiverRivals, not only that, but USC/ UCLA earn less than TCU & Kansas... (If ESPN could orchestrate a merger), Look for XII brand West Virginia to place in ACC... A possible division alignment gives option for east/west, or north/south in *PX6/SWC: or *(vs the alternate option): Total in division travel amount: 4,660.5 miles/ average in division travel amount: 665.7 miles per opponent... B1G west division, from Norman to the campus of: Oklahoma - * Texas - 6 h 9 min. (371.9 mi) Nebraska - 6 h 35 min (450.3 mi) Iowa - 9 h 32 min (674.5 mi) Minnesota - 11 h 23 min (804.2 mi) Wisconsin - 12 h 21 min (854.2 mi) Northwestern - 11 h 58 min (810.7 mi) Illinois - 10 h 13 min (694.7 mi) That's putting a real financial strain on the common fan on away trips (not counting for traveling visitors to Austin/ Norman)... What about when one of the 7 schools (50% of B1G) with lower football attendance than Oklahoma State travels to Austin/ Norman..? As 3 B1G west foes: Minnesota/ N'Western/ Illinois, & 4 B1G east foes: Indiana/ Purdue/ Maryland/ Rutgers, half the league... And the issue of how much farther travel is in potential B1G east division/ Texas would travel even farther than OU in B1G west... Total in division travel amount: 7,481.3 miles/ average in division travel amount: 1,068.7miles per opponent... B1G west division, from Austin to the campus of: Texas - * Oklahoma - 6 h 9 min. (371.9 mi) Nebraska - 12 h 44 min (822.2 mi) Iowa - 15 h 43 min (1,046.4 mi) Minnesota - 17 h 32 min (1,766.1 mi) Wisconsin - 18 h 30 min (1,226.1 mi) Northwestern - 18 h 7 min (1,182.6 mi) Illinois - 16 h 22 min (1,066 mi) *(And those are the in division games, not the B1G east; but B1G west "rivalries"... That's a lot of altering for a bump in tv revenue)... Just a few things to factor along with ability of knowing UT & OU would average playing at B1G east schools of UM/MSU/tOSU/PSU 1x (maybe 2x) per decade...- 2018-19 NBA Season Thread
Well, I hope the Thunder win, but I like Dame ever since the "Droppin' Dimes" commercials... 😋- 2018-19 NBA Season Thread

I think I recall the Thunder swept the Trailblazers this season, so this could be "interesting"...- Big 12 Shopping Title Game
One of these, is not like the others: #PoachingSeason... If using tDoWV's data: (from tweets last night) XII will earn $2-3m. for XII CCG/ $2M for ESPN+ deal... XII members - $40.1m. XII 1st/2nd tier revenue... Texas - $15m. 3rd tier network earnings... (LHN) Oklahoma - $9m. 3rd tier network earnings... (SStv) UT: $59m. OU: $52m./ vs. B1G $51m. SEC: $41m. So, in the end, more exposure on (olympic road games) better "bump" in $$$... ESPN adds XII CCG(s): '19-'21-'23/ 8 XII schools gain digital net on ESPN+/ UT & OU gain revenue bump, exposure for XII road games: $4.2 million per school... While USC ($31m.) - $2.7 million per school PACN, lost coverage on AT&T Uverse, isn't on Directv/ OU ($52m.)/ UT ($59m.) in earnings; USC would listen to XII... Pre-2025: DAZN, ran by former ESPN boss John Skipper, partner with ESPN, attempt raid PAC - USC/UCLA ect. out west, to increase value of UT/OU - XII...- Big 12 Shopping Title Game
(You could be right), it all dependes on the immediacy of the fiscal troubles within PAC for members as USC... As of now (before today's announcement), UT earns $52 m. per year/ OU earns $47m. per year, USC, about $30m.-ish... Make no mistake, if ESPN can corral PAC brands as Husky/Duck/Bear/Cardinal/Trojan/Bruin/'Cat/Devil/Ute/Buff, it will... An article, that stated how USC threatened to bolt from PAC in 1978, wanting to add UA/ASU to the east, so it's possible...- Big 12 Shopping Title Game
I see it more than likely, that an ESPN backed XII, will conspire to "raid" PAC, before 2024... The tactic has been used by ESPN before, in "raiding" Big East for ACC to add back in 2011... - 2019 NBA Playoffs Thread
