Yeah...and how awesome would it be to see us listed in the Top 25 rankings? It's been a decent decade of football, but could have been even better with more visionary and risk-taking leadership. Just look at Colorado State's willingness to join the Pac 2. Risky? Yes. Visionary? Yes.Quote:

I think the GOR thing was just speculation. The current deal expires in 2026. I do think there is some negotiating going on and it involves the immediate cash dispersal from the poaching and exit fees.
Likely a bit of tug of war between AAC and MWC over AFA, and possibly with UNLV as well. It feels like a play to try to pay those guys out to stick around a while.Quote:

While exit fees often get negotiated, not sure GoR have truly been tested in a courtroom setting yet. In theory, they could extend beyond the end of the current media deal, and are helpful to setup the next deal.
Believe the PAC 6 have already agreed to their own (5 year?) GoR to set the stage for media negotiations.
Tulane, USF and Memphis all just backed up their commitment to remain with the AAC. I guess PAC will turn to the MWC again and/or some Texas schools.
PAC adds Gonzaga....

Gonzaga leaving West Coast Conference to join Pac-12, source told
@ActionNetworkHQ
. Pac-12 still needs minimum of two football members by 2026, but Gonzaga, even w/out a football team, will receive a full conference revenue share in Pac-12, source said
Very good chance of this if AAC successfully defended their flank.Quote:
