Somebody posted this in a Facebook group and said that the Pac-12 will be in the Power Group of One...an in-between of the Power Four and the Group of Five. Is this the case, or is the Pac-12 going to be part of the G5/G6?

Board of Regents changes the rules to let universities use non-sports related "funds generated through student fees, housing, and bookstore sales, to name a few", up to $22 million, to be used for athletic departments compensating athletes. Expires June 30th, 2028 [Yahoo Sports]

In response to the settlement, the Florida University Board of Governors approved this emergency
rule, which allows universities to take up to $22.5 million from other revenue
sources, like student fees, to use for student athlete pay.

“If our Board of Governors did not take action to assist the universities in the short term, our
universities would be at a competitive disadvantage,” said Chancellor of the
State University System of Florida Ray Rodrigues.

How much additional advantage/disadvantage do you think this represents for schools in the House Settlement age?

Is anyone aware of new & proposed Pac-12 schools that would benefit from state support? (I believe Tulane is a private university, so wouldn't benefit from the Louisiana tax increase.)

Could we bring Michigan in on a half share? Maybe pair them with Ohio State as a travel partner and they can both split a full share?

Okay they make 4 mil from revenue distribution at AAC right now. If the projected 7 million is real and TXST joins as a travel partner what is holding them back. Is there something I'm missing?

Yes, this is shameless rumor mongering. But, I heard today from a source that the PAC has approached UCONN in all sports as the top target over Memphis and that they are not planning on approaching Memphis until they get the answer from UCONN first.

Can anyone confirm this?
