    Guarantee fuck nuts like this don't watch football. Lot of support on Twitter for Apple. Like there was for the innovative Pac 12 network. Uw stays they die. If they die they die

    and they are all watching women's soccer
    FOX got 6.43 million viewers for a 1-1 draw this week

    That's more than any Pac-12 championship game ever

    You take a B1G offer right now even if it’s below the best- case pac offer.

    You need to align yourself with the most passionate and visible football communities immediately not some Larry Scott vision of a streaming future that taps the Chinese market, etc.

    Cfb is all about prestige and visibility and the B1G financial upside is so much bigger than anything the pac can offer, even if you lose out on millions over the next 5 years.

    I am not confident there is an offer from the BiG right now. I am not sure their teams in the conference want to expand right now. It would take a commissioner really pitching the idea that they HAVE to do it. A bunch of have-nots in the conference will have to sign off on it and I am just not sure they are motivated to do it unless somehow fox gives out more money for a couple of west coast teams to come on.

    TL DR. Maryland and Rutgers twist the knife.

    That’s ALWAYS been my biggest concern with the B10

    If they don't get the offer The big 12 is a death sentence anyways. It's big 10 or bust. NEM.

    I just read that Apple TV has 25 million subscribers. You think between 80 and 120% of them are going to pay to watch the PAC Fucking 12?

    Yep … biggest elephant in the room

    There are ways to increase those numbers … for example T-Mobile customers were given the option to get the MLS package for free (similar to what they do for MLB)

    But it’s a HUGE bet that is a giant leap of faith
    How many of those 25 million subscribers are on a promo deal because they bought a new Apple product recently?

    I had AppleTV for 3 months after getting g a new iPad. Watched the first 2 seasons of Ted Lasso.

    Mrs Nacho got a new iPhone and 3 free months. We finished season 3 of Ted Lasso in early June. Haven’t looked at AppleTV since then and she canceled her sub yesterday.
    Really depends on whether Apple can secure programming that people want to watch

    It's $6.99/mo which is way less than YouTubeTV for the 4 months we get college football

    You're not wrong. I have zero faith in the uw admin to foresee this though.
