Need to click through for the full deets of the alleged offer. It's a doozy. I expect Arizona to announce tomorrow evening.

Most don't regard him as a reliable source.  I would tend to not read his crap as I just clicked on his tweeter feed and the first tweet is him taking credit for breaking the USC/UCLA news when it's common news that Greg Flugaur on PATC broke it first and was given credit for it.

Can't imagine any school with options is satisfied with $20M and far less visibility. And oh yea fans, you will have to subscribe to both apple and the PAC add on within apple TV.

I'm all in on Arizona or Arizona/UO/UW. No other schools from the PAC.

In my *ideal situation (bc obviously I know more than the University Presidents that are paid to discuss this all day), the Big 12 takes MAX 3 more from the PAC.  Whatever combination of UA/UO/UW/UU/ASU WANTS to join and be a member without jumping ship in 7 years.  Then pick up Louisville and Pitt when the ACC implodes for more eastern brands and presence.  Big 12 goes (all but) coast-to-coast and has all time zones covered.

*Nothing is ideal anymore.  Take me back to 1996-2010 Big XII aka THE ideal conference before the Longhorns f****d us all.

If BY gets #15 & 16 and if it's UW & UO he will be able to renegotiate the media to get Fox & ESPN to provide a rider for an additional 2 to 3 million per school.  I am now all for getting UW and UO!!!  Also, eff ASU & UU, as they can rot in what's left of the PAC.

.
According to college football insider Greg Swaim
, Arizona's move to the Big 12 is a done deal. In what will be a huge blow for the Pac-12, the university is expected to officially announce its intention to exit the conference on or before Tuesday.

I think it might be going right now, but I might have mixed something up with the time zone difference.

If we’re gonna be out east I like adding LVille, Pitt. VT fits that profile as wel
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

I keep seeing that Arizona will be a package deal with ASU and Utah.  If that is the case, lets go get UO and UW and see if Arizona still feels like they need to be part of a package.

I think it is at 7am Pacific time so should be hearing rumors soon.

According to the linked page, FSU and Clemson are rumored to be joining the Big 10 with Oregon and Washington.  However, neither FSU or Clemson are in the AAU, so probably bullshit

Someone in a thread I saw said AZ walked out halfway through. No way that is true, but would be hilarious it it was. "Guys, hear me out all the way on this. Its going to sound bad at first, but just hear me out".

AZ, "nope, eff this crap". ha

If they get 25 mil and 50% linear that’d be an amazing deal pulled off by kliavkoff.

There's also rumors that much of this is "best case" numbers that lack gurantees.

Remember, they got "best cased" into near bankruptcy by Larry Scott.
