These deals are like playing Risk... the next person to turn in the cards always gets a better deal than the last one.

Definitely true. The SEC, ACC, and Big12 will all look to trump those Pac12 numbers the first chance they get, and they probably will. It's definitely trending towards conferences getting bigger and TV paydays for these mega conferences getting downright insane.

Not your best effort.

In regards to Utah's portion: don't they get 0% the first year before jumping to 50%, then 75%, then 100%? Is that what you said before and I'm just too tired to understand what you wrote?

Can you smell the corruption cooking?

Does this mean Disney goes bankrupt? Short Disney stock?

I think whomever posted above that he just hopes they can compete is correct. That's been my stance all along with BYU and Utah advancing forward. It's great to have more money, it's great to play better teams, it's great to be off the mtn. channel, it's great to road trip to better locations, but ultimately it won't seem much different to the average fan if they aren't winning. But yes, 21 million/yr is dreamy to any athletic department and Utah deserves props for being able to get in that position.

Funny thing is they get 0% but get an even cut of the championship money. Which is more than all of the money they would have recieved from the MWC TV deal. So even the 1st year with a 0% cut of money they came out with more money than they would have. After that 1st season their money is almost what they made for the entire time they were with the MWC.

Man, the MWC deal was terrible. Chris Hill and Tom Holmoe have to be downright giddy that all of that trash is in their rear view mirror.
