you are not even talking about anything meaningful to the thread
this thread was started talking about the GOR for the ACC and the Big 12
I pointed out correctly that no matter what the Big 12 has for a GOR the Big 12 also has a 99 year contract for conference membership signed in 2012
I pointed out that the Big 12 including 8 of the current members has successfully defended a contract just like that with 4 other teams that paid to leave the Big 12 and I pointed out that two other members of the Big 12 paid to leave the Big East
and I pointed out that the cost for Maryland to leave the ACC was over $30 million so there is no reason to believe that any member that wants to leave the Big 12 is just going to walk away with no cost because the GOR (which is an entirely different contract than the contract for conference membership) has ended
I then pointed out that there is nothing at all that supports the idea that somehow the PAC 12 would be able to lure 4 teams from the Big 12 especially Texas when Texas is making $20+ million more than the PAC 12 payout and it makes no sense to pay 14 to 16 teams enough money to have Texas be one of those teams in the PAC when networks could simply pay 10 teams in the Big 12 to keep Texas there
there is nothing financially that would prove otherwise and I pointed out that the LHN goes several years past the Big 12 TV deals and there is ZERO to suggest that Texas being a part of the PAC 12 network would help that and there is NOTHING that suggest it would especially in any meaningful amount to lure Texas to the PAC 12
then someone ask about the CBS deal and the PUF with the SEC SEC SEC
I pointed out that the PUF has nothing to do with athletics, it is not near the amount of wealth it is made out to be and the use of it is highly restricted and that Texas has a spending problem not a revenue problem so the PUF does not factor into helping Texas pay to leave the Big 12 or dealing with any cost of leaving the Big 12
then I gave my opinion that I do not see the 16 or 17 games for the CBS deal with the SEC SEC SEC paying massive new dollars when that deal expires and I pointed out correctly that there was no increase with aggy and MU (no matter what all the idiot experts and known idiot travis clay thought would happen) with that CBS deal or even with a "look in" for the SEC SEC SEC tier2 deal
and I gave my opinion that adding Texas would not contribute to massively increasing that CBS deal with the SEC SEC SEC because that deal is still one game a week
then you came along and tried to claim that deal would increase 5X or 6X with nothing but your opinion to support that
I replied that I feel that is incorrect and that a lot of experts that have made predictions about things like that in the past have been massively wrong and you never hear from them again
then you started to get your feelings hurt that I did not think he SEC SEC SEC would just keep getting massive new money and started to bring Big 10 revenues up (with it pretty well known that the Big 10 will payout more per team than the SEC SEC SEC) and you started to bring up ticket sales, stajium size, parking spaces near the stajium, parking revenues, hot dog cost for the SEC SEC SEC Vs the MAC and a bunch of other nonsense that has nothing to do with the end of the GOR for the Big 12 or ACC and nothing to do with what it would take to lure Texas from the Big 12 to another conference
and it had nothing to do with the fact that it will cost Texas and anyone else a lot of money to leave the Big 12 even if the GOR has ended because the 99 year contract for conference membership is not ending and those have been successfully defended multiple times in the past including Texas taking revenue from defending it from 4 other teams
I also pointed out (correctly) that in the past Texas has openly stated they do not wish to be in the SEC SEC SEC although things do change.....but I do not think a few million here or there will change that
you seem to believe that the SEC SEC SEC will get $250 to $350 million for 16 or 17 games and I believe that $20+ million per game is very high for regular season games no matter how many seats SEC SEC SEC stajiums have or what the popcorn cost in the SEC SEC SEC Vs the Atlantic 10 and I correctly pointed out that even CCGs for the major conferences only pay out about $20 to $25 million and that hurt your feelings more and you again talked about parking and Tshirt sales for the SEC SEC SEC Vs the Sunbelt
none of that changes the fact that Texas makes over $50 million per year for TV money when you include the LHN, Texas would have to pay a lot of money to leave the Big 12 and there is nothing that really supports that the SEC SEC SEC will get $250 to $350 million for content they currently get $55 million for......other than the opinions of paid shills that are often wrong as I correctly pointed out with people thinking that CBS would have to pay more because aggy and MU came to the SEC SEC SEC (CBS paid nothing) and that the PAC 12 network is not even paying out an amount equal to the lowest expected payout (by "experts") and that some fools expect the ACC network to pay out 2X or 3X what the SEC SEC SEC network pays out or 2X what the Big 10 network pays out...which is ridiculous and if that was remotely true why did ESPN wait as long as possible to even try and put that network together.....well because even as poorly as ESPN is run they are still not making wildly stupid predictions about payouts for media rights nor are they buying into them
Texas does not care how many seats the stajiums in the SEC SEC SEC hold, or the cost of a corn dog at LSU, or what parking goes for at Ole' Miss and Texas might care if somehow the SEC SEC SEC was paying out $10+ million more per year than Texas gets from the Big 12 and LHN, but even then the SEC SEC SEC might not be the best place for Texas
and number of members in the marching bands in the SEC SEC SEC and the cost of a bag of ice at a SEC SEC SEC tailgate does not mean that the SEC SEC SEC will get $250 to $350 million for 16 or 17 games that they currently get $55 million for nor does it really support that position
but showing that a lot of "experts" have made stupid high predictions about media payouts in the past and been wildly wrong does support the idea that $250 or $350 million seems extremely high for those 16 or 17 games
and lastly the Big 10 deal with Fox is for about 25 football games and 50 basketball games
https://www.sportsbusinessdaily.com/Dail...g-Ten.aspx
and it is for about $250 million per year
so thinking that the SEC SEC SEC will get that same amount of money or more for only 16 or 17 football games is quite the stretch of the imaginaion and reality and that is without regards to the price of a Hot Toddy at an Ole' Miss game so please do not reply with more of those type of "facts"
reply with something that supports the idea that the SEC SEC SEC will get the same or $100 million more for 8+ fewer football games and 50 less basketball games
the SeC sEc SeC Is Da BiGgEsT aNd badeSt EvAr does not really provide a persuasive argument
much less does it support that the SEC SEC SEC or any other conference will lure Texas away from the Big 12
