[QUOTE="Buckaineer, post: 132075482, member: 1428007"] PAC 12 teams have problems moving East would solve— playing games in eastern time slots improves their tv ratings. Playing games vs the most enthusiastic fanbase of the PAC, Big 12, Acc also increase exposure and viewership and that is worth real money. Also the BIG 12 has played better football than most for a decade—despite not being credited for it by media pundits- #1 or #2 most years. PAC schools can’t replicate that and solve their playoff problem except by joining with the BIG 12. No one in the BIG 12 is leaving, but the PAC is very likely to lose schools as is the ACC. So if you stay in the PAC then shortly Oregon and Washington, Cal and Stanford maybe bolt- what then? Obviously if PAC schools join the BIG 12 there is going to be an increase in revenues above and beyond what they can make in the PAC- and despite media pundits working to try to destabilize ie the BIG 12, increased media rights are coming- their rights aren’t just worth what they were a decade plus ago because two schools left. Lots of markets and inventory will have been added and the rights fee for college rights has been reset to a higher figure. [/QUOTE]
