Welcome to the Big XII

Very nice article about Aresco. I always thought he was a class act.

Mike Aresco is taking this professionally, saying there are no hard feelings. Aresco specifically mentioned a nice message he received from CLF. He does expect to negotiate for early departures, undoubtedly for significantly more than $10M.

Mo asked John Cunningham if UC planned to work on exiting the AAC early. Cunningham started to answer, then caught himself and danced around the question. There's no way, with negotiations certain to occur, that he can come out and say publicly that they want out earlier than 2024.

Thanks for the correction. As an old man, my memory often fails me. I knew that it was greater than the $10M hanging over UC, Houston, and UCF. Do we know if that $10M decreases each year?

I think it increases, but not a set amount. We will have to negotiate

UConn paid 17 million to get out a year or so early

The exit fee is $10 M at 27 months. I am not sure if it is greater than that if we leave early. I read that UConn paid $40M to get out. Probably a mistake for them at the time due to their financial situation now. I am sure glad we do not have to play them in football due to their sad state.

Looking forward to the championships that Clark- Heard, Googins, Fickell, Miller and all the other coaches will win in our new conference. GO 'CATS

What is our early exit fee? Any chance to pay and get there quicker? Would it make financial sense to pay the exit fee to get the larger payout and have a better chance to make the playoffs?

I would think just 6. I can't imagine the B12 & OU/TX trying to live together until 2023. Negotiations will begin & the two departing schools each will pay a penalty.

have them pay our exit fee plus

pretty groovy

I have always liked Okie State when I lived in OK. Now what do I do as they are our rival.
