How can they generate all of this money from television deals they are predicting if they don’t have a conference championship game. We’ve been told for years now that is where all the money is.
The theory is some of the networks came in with a big TV deal in principle to keep the PAC TEN from going 16.....and then it is divided 10 ways (but not evenly) instead of 12. There really isn’t a team to add that increases TV money unless they could somehow steal an Arizona team..which is unlikely.
Whether this money actually materializes will be interesting, nothing is actually signed yet AFAIK
