Wait, the part you all are getting hung up on is that lawyers are the worst?
I mean, take my word for it.

What are the odds that the PAC has an offer slightly less than the Big 12 but Oregon and Washington won't sign the grant of rights? Trying to understand what could possibly be taking this long because there is no incentive to drag this out if they have a comparable offer and all schools really are telling the truth that they are committed to the conference.Comment

Ha, yeah, he's setting up the PAC so he doesn't take the fall.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View Post
Maybe Omaha is correct, that they have a sufficient offer in money terms (acceptable, not more than the B12), but the GoR/Exit penalty issue is the sticking point. Or the length of the contract, maybe? It's obvious that some schools are more committed to the PAC than others.

https://www.mercurynews.com/2023/03/...-analyst-says/Pac-12 expansion: Would SMU create media value? “I think it probably helps,” sports media analyst says
[...]
“Does SMU create value for the Pac-12? I think it probably helps,” Crakes said.
At $3 million per school per year?
“I’m not sure about that,” he added. “Being conservatively optimistic, maybe adding SMU is worth $1.5 million (annually) for the other schools. That’s $99 million (over six years).
“Then in the next deal, they become an incremental chip on the table.”
The next deal.
That’s a critical point in the Pac-12’s expansion strategy. The conference must consider SMU’s value when the next media rights cycle comes to an end (in the late 2020s or early 2030s), and it starts the negotiating process all over again.
“They need to get better in football,” Crakes said.
“But if you end up doing something like merging with the ACC down the road, you have the Dallas market, which is nice.”
$99 million over six years or $16.5 million per year. So the average Big 12 team is worth about twice as much as SMU.
