Private equity ruins everything it touches. They would have to be desperate or stupid to do this.

Would laugh but if it happens other conferences will follow suit.

What a bunch of nerds. They'd call it The Mayhem Conference if they had any balls at all.

“tPB/NFL QB Dick Pic Board All-Star Conference” has a nice ring to it.

I know the brand is going away, but I'm holding out hope for "The Kum & Go Conference"

The seat the Big12 has at the Big Boy table can’t be for long.
The conference as a whole has 3 football National Championships & NONE in 34 years.
1990-Colorado (shared)
1984-BYU
1938-TCU

People are going to flip their lid when Kansas St, Kansas or Cockeye St go right to the final 4 bc they won a weak league with no tradition.
Nobody in that league could finish in the top 4 in the current Big10 or SEC

I don’t get it. So this company owns 20% of the Big 12. What does that mean?

Can’t wait to become the “French’s Mustard Presents The Big 10 Courtesy Of Paramount+ Conference”

That’s not true, but whatever.

Yup, what will happen here is the PE firm will come in and leverage the conference to the tits, unveil a bunch of flashy bullshit that costs a stupid amount of money funded by said debt. PE exits at the top without lowering any of the leverage and the conference/schools are left holding the bag.

Maybe they will call it the Cabela's conference
