It’s a roller coaster: Minutes before Pac-12 presidents meeting was scheduled to begin, Oregon officials expressed further concerns about Apple deal, sources tell @YahooSports.
Pac-12 now not expected to resolve GoR this morning. @ralphDrussoAP reported a Big Ten meeting later.

As reported earlier, the Pac-12's survival is likely contingent on avoiding the loss of two more schools, specifically Washington and Oregon.
Oregon officials are wanting more from the Apple deal. UO-Big Ten situation remains fluid.

The Pac-12’s survival is contingent on keeping intact at least 8 of the current 9 members.
A loss of 2 more schools - either Arizona/ASU to Big 12 OR Oregon/Washington to Big Ten - is seen as a likely recipe for collapse. As P12 leaders enter their meeting, neither has happened.

An important part of this: the reluctance from Pac-12 schools - and the blame that may follow - to kill a 108-yr-old conference, sources tell @YahooSports.
Another factor: the pushback from the Big Ten's powerhouse programs in further expansion, something they have been against.
