what im hearing re: p12 network/tv contract/boofs bouncin

it goes without saying, this 'tv deal' thing has been handled pretty shitty, here what im hearin though:

- espn and fox have taken deals off the table. they originally had been bidding for a saturday day game and saturday night game, they've taken those off the table as of the past week or past two weeks.
- p12/10 is now trying to get cbs or nbc to offer packages for those games. p12/10 wants $150mm for those games.
- p12 network is going to go either to apple tv or amazon, it will be a $300mm package. previous poast i said 'its going apple,' somethings changed with me.
- if, and that's a huge fucking IF especially for the linear tv games, that will put the payout higher for the p10 than the b12. that will 'put all member schools at ease,' allegedly.
- colorado has been a willing participant in media negotiations, they have 'gone dark' in the past week so this:

that is real, to an extent, as i dont know about wildcats but i know boofs are talking to the big 12.

- colorado will 'come back to the table' if those tv packages are offered
- colorado 'needs something by august' as they dont want to go into the season with each press conference having questions about 'well what about the b12' and 'when are you going to the b12?'
- the 'final offers' are supposed to be in by 'end of june' but that announcement was supposed to happen in march so who fucking knows.

take all the screenshots you need.

I get the jump coming in ‘26 but can someone give me the cliff notes of how an athletic program spends so much fucking money and despite more TV rev than ever, they still operate at a deficit? With the fucking ridiculous cost of tuition do those streams not bleed together? Edjumakate me.
Our ticket sales suck for football and basketball. We are still paying Jimmy LAke and stadium debt. It's hard.

Packing the stadium for a year or two makes a big difference though.
Ticket sales are going to be through the roof because the spares will be eaten up y midwesterners

Win and the fans will come
I actually don't think it's true that UW fans will sell out HS any more. The stadium will be 1/3 visiting fans every home game.
Give fans a reason to go with consistent success and they will be there.

When Petersen was here butts were in the seats

They still didn't sell out every game with UW fans, only. I was at them. USC and Tree in 2016, yes. Not the Arizona-type games, though.

gmo

who cares opposing fans take up 20-30 percent of seats. Big $ to the program, that gives them the ability to do everything they need to become better at football.

Name a west coast team/venue that doesn't have the same phenomenon.... transplants, people like to travel to west coast cities, etc.

Dodger Stadium, Warriors, Lakers, etc.

I happen to think Big 10 will reinvigorate the local Seattle UW fanbase quite a bit though, especially with the new teams coming in.

True but attendance was pretty good with many sellouts or close to sellouts.

Add in more away fans and it's fine

Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio State, UCLA, USC, Penn State, Michigan State, maybe even Minnesota and Nebraska all are games that will move the needle.

Oregon nuff said. Cuog is a maybe but nuff said

The rest of the B1G? Mostly meh, but if the program is good it'll be fine.

Can’t wait to see Rutgers in Seattle — 8pm in the middle of a rain storm. Special

I remember kicking the shit out of Rutgers and Illinois at home in 2014-16.

Beat destroying Arizona, Colorado, etc.

Fuck off! No one is getting more excited about Illinois and Northwestern coming to town. This move only saves you from being banished to the depths of G5. There is no extra sauce involved.

Attendance would have dwindled in the pac12. Getting usc oregon and sometimes Penn state Wisconsin mich or tosu coming out is a big deal. Those team travel even if we don't fill the stadium ourselves.

I’m not sold on this bump on ticket sales. The team is changing conference, not local demos.

The Midwest teams travel. Not all of them, but the big programs do.

Yup.. especially once it's 15 degrees in their home markets (as a high).

Travelers would tOSU, the Michigans, Penn State, Wisky, maybe Iowa. How many will Washington get at home a year? Two? One more likely.

Not Nebraska classy of you to omit Nebraska

I'm guessing Minnesota the first year, given that we haven't seen them in forever
