I read the following on anohter fan board, the guy says he’s connected. I post it here for discussion.
What do you think?
Take this for what its worth but I just spoke with the only guy I know who knows things about college sports but this is George K’s master plan (and Amazon is now on board):
1. Amazon is going to overpay for the PAC 10 media rights. It will be close to $40 million a year per school. They want all the PAC content.
2. What is really going to get the PAC there is that Amazon is going to give every scholarship football player at each PAC school an NIL deal worth $50K a year. That is roughly another $40 million. George convinced Amazon to invest in the PAC product and get every athlete a minimum cash payment.
3. After this is done the PAC is going to get aggressive with expansion. Like very aggressive. George K. and several ACC schools have been in constant contact since last summer when they were discussing a possible scheduling alliance. George and these schools supposedly believe that this is a win/win. ACC tv deal is awful. But if the PAC added FSU, Miami, Georgia Tech, Clemson, UNC, Duke, VaTech, UVA, Pitt, and Syracuse the PAC and Amazon have an understanding that they would again overpay and give each school $50 million a year. All 20 schools would sign a GOR through 2040.
I was told timing on all of this is Spring 2023.
