Possible (rumored) PAC12 numbers

One thing I just learned per source about Pac 12 media rights offer:
There was NEVER an offer that included ANY linear TV options.
$23m annually from Apple with an opt out after two years was the ONLY option presented to the executive committee.
Pac 12 was paying out $27m this year. Would have been a $4m loss plus the loss of linear TV.
Non starter that would never be accepted

Per source, UW will be accepting a reduced share for the next 6 years form the Big Ten that will average roughly 32.5 million a year.
The real windfall will come when the new Big Ten media deal is agreed to. Could be for more than 2.5-3x what UW will make in first 6 years.
UW also will have access to non media rights revenue streams(CFP revenue, NCAA tournament revenue) that could add $10+ million per year.

3x comment would imply a $1.8 billion annual media deal for the conference. The current deal is like $1.1 billion through 2030.Quote:

There is still some money out there for these 4 schools. Way more than the MW TV deal that pays 4 million a year and could shrink more if split amongst 4 more teams
I dont believe the PAC 12 wants the whole MWC for all sports. They would be better off poaching 4 teams nationwide. Whether it's a Memphis, UTEP or pretty much anyone
The PAC media ends July 1, 2024. All 12 members are playing the 2023/4 season and receiving their share. BB credits are nice but anyone joining is leaving behind credits too so that's a wash. I strongly suspect the CFP revamps who gets paid what since the PAC is now a power conference in name only. Don't forget they owe Comcast somewhere between $50-70M.Quote:

Thats just for basketball
The lack of an exit fee was the undoing.Quote:

If they want to get 8 there's no way anybody is going to pay $20-34M in exit fees and not get a share. The MWC and AAC have a nice pile of credits too they'd be leaving behind.Quote:
