#1. - Puts 2 more States in the Big 12 portfolio.....11.5 Million people
#2 - Gives us 6 Western Universities in 4 States
#3 - Puts us at 18 Teams now....looks like everybody will go to 20+ eventually
#4 - Completely eliminates a Power 5 Conference.....opens up Playoff & Bowl Game slots...I think you recoup your money right there.
My plan would be to bring them in at lower shares for through 2030.....this TV Contract. With the added inventory you could go back to Apple & see if you could make additional dollars either now...or at least in the next round. I believe Live Sports will be at such a Premium for Streamers over the next few years......Subscribers will count more than viewers in their eyes.
If the ACC truly folds in the next 5-10 years.....Big 12 could go to 24 Teams.....4 Divisions
