Why is the B1G listed as a range?

Not sure.  Either the actual number hasn't been reported yet or USC & UCLA not a full partner?

Wasn't someone on here just saying how we need to leave the Big Ten

There is a “Norte Dame” clause, but I thought that was just to cover them joining at the same level….or maybe because it’s not fully signed yet.

First, I wonder what in the world could be holding up AZ/ASU/Utah .......?????

 

Second, didn't the Pac-12 Commish say realignment was done?  Like last week?

We have been able to gather more details on the Pac-12’s recent offer to its conference members.

 

Sources indicate that the number presented was $24.5 million on the high end.

 

But the biggest issue actually was not money-related.

 

Instead, the conference presented members with a deal that was nearly all streaming. The Pac-12 presidents have been consistent in their approach by saying that linear was important to the future of the conference and while George Kliavkoff tried, he has never been able to get to that sweet spot with linear and enough money to keep the Pac-12 members around.

 

* Once the meeting was completed with disappointment, all bets were off. Schools such as Arizona, Utah, and Arizona State entered discussions with the Big 12. Arizona was the furthest along of the three going into this part of the process and in the last 24-48 hours, Arizona State and Utah joined the Wildcats. Although it is not completely finalized yet, sources indicate that Arizona, Arizona State, and Utah are all likely to join the Big 12. One source said that it would have to fall apart for the three schools not to make the move and the ideal plan for the Big 12 is to make the biggest possible impact, which is announcing all three at once. Although it is not set in stone, there could be an announcement as soon as Friday.
