They would need a ridiculously high # of subscribers... in the millions... to get the value of that media deal configuration to be anything close to the Big 12's media deal.

Good luck trying to get millions of people to sign up to watch the likes of an Oregon State-Cal football game kicking off at 10:00 p.m Eastern Time.

I'm stupid and haven't been following this much at all but one of the conferences is going with apple+? and their deal making any money is contingent on people signing up for yet ANOTHER streaming service, am I getting this right?

lol

do these brian geniouses not understand that there's a limit to how many services people are going to get and the market is already saturated. shit look at netflix (oh wait no one does anymore) lol

I can only assume it was either a terrible decision from PAC officials trying to be innovative, or they really didn't have much other option.


What's strange to me is why other conferences are looking to get a piece of the west coast time zone, but being on the west coast is often used as a reason why those teams/games don't get any viewers.

I would think there are schools on the West Coast that you put them in games at 6p/7p CT their viewership will increase. But not many central/Eastern people staying up until 12a/1a to watch their games

They have no other option.

The Pac 12 has been repeatedly rejected by every other media entity.

Reportedly they went begging to NBC THREE times this past year and were flatly rejected each time.

Suicide watch for Bill Walton?

Conference of losers about to be no more.

Dude is gonna overdose on shrooms and LSD somewhere.

Pete late and pointing out the very obvious.

ABOR are in executive decision as we speak. Not open to public

Big 12 executives met Thursday to approve the application of Arizona as a 14th member, sources tell @YahooSports, paving the way for the Wildcats to enter the conference. It is another step in UA’s path to join. The final step would be approval from its Board of Regents.

Meanwhile, Pac-12 leaders have held “positive” meetings the last two days to examine details of the Apple deal, sources tell @YahooSports.

Presidents of schools whose membership is in question participated.

A GoR was expected to be presented to presidents at a meeting Friday.

This might help the big 12 pick these 2 up. Due to the low sharing amount. And the cost of travel.

If the Big 12 gets the four corners and then they can present to the two that the travel would never lower costs due to the four corners 6 Pac 12 schools. They’re playing them anyway.

Big Ten’s offer to Washington & Oregon is expected to be $35-40 million annually per team - a figure that, with the additional cross-country travel, could create some hesitancy, sources tell @YahooSports.

However, exits from the Four Corner schools could sway UW and UO to leave.

Pac 12 claiming they are holding “positive” meetings as Arizona, Washington, and Oregon are heading out the door.

Spin attempt fail.
