[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even if Stanford University offered to join the Big Ten Conference at a 50% payout forever, there is no value to the Big Ten Conference. Stanford's football value is in its rivalry relationship with Notre Dame.

Maybe Stanford could try being an independent for a year or two rather than dropping its football program, but there just do not appear to be any other economically viable options for Stanford football. And Cal football is in a worse position than Stanford football.[/quote]

Stanford because they are Stanford would not take anything less than a full payout.  Anything less damages the overall brand.  [/quote]

Do you realize that not even the University of Washington and the University of Oregon will be receiving full share payouts during their first 6 or 7 years in the Big Ten Conference ? And Washington & Oregon are much more valuable football brands than is Stanford.[/quote]

[b]I do and it is why you do not see Stanford begging to join.[/b]

ACC has no half share.  [/quote]

Are you referring to the Big Ten Conference ? Stanford definitely wanted to get into the Big Ten Conference and was aware that no Pac-12 member would receive a full share payout during the remaining 6 or 7 years of the current media rights contract. U Washington & U oregon did not receive full payout offers under the current contract.

ACC has any type of share that it wants to create in conjunction with ESPN. You may be confusing the ACC with the Big 12 Conference's stipulation that all members--old andnew--receive the same payout.[/quote]
