I swear, if I see one more "whats wrong with leaving with what we put in" argument of a fan of departing Pac-12 school ... Newsflash: the TV partners, NCAA, etc. paid the **conference**. Maybe don't leave if you want your cut.

The conference gets the TV money. The conference gets the NCAA Tournament Units. The conference gets the Pac-12 Network profits. The. Conference. They then divvy it out to everyone according to the media agreement. Again, if you wanted your slice ... stay!

"Well, we were worth more and did more for the brand so we should get more!" Cool, everyone got paid the same for 12 years and there's literally no way to quantify the other stuff so if you have it so good, why don't you just leave us be to make the best of a bad situation?

And there's literally tens of millions, if not hundreds of millions, due to the conference for the next 6-7 years in some form or another.

Everyone contributed, you're right! And the bylaws say the **conference** distributes the money out. In even slices. UW doesn't sit on a TI-83, figure out how much their rating was worth and invoice the Pac-12.

@RM_Preston Those 10 schools arent contributing to the Pac 12 funds currently? Those 10 schools aren't members of the Pac 12 currently? Newsflash: the TV partners, NCAA. etc paid the "conference" in part because of what those 10 schools are currently contributing

@RM_Preston You guys are pathetic. You say there and assumed that oregon and Washington would drag you along like sad little toddlers. Instead of being proactive and like they were.The conference was done, and you should blend your leadership for thinking that horrible apple deal would work

@RM_Preston UW/UO fans in particular are bitterly annoyed that they’ve very plainly demoted themselves to non-voting Associate membership in their current conference, all while awaiting Junior membership in their new conference.

@AndyMackSmith The agreement the schools have is that the money will be paid to the conference and distributed equally among members. If you're not a member anymore, you don't get a distribution. If they were "mutual contracts", you wouldn't need to try and ram through a dissolution.
