"Jedd Fisch held a Zoom call with the parents of every player and told them Arizona will not take a bad deal and will know where they will be soon.

This is basically a realignment press conference at this point and I haven’t asked one of the questions."

    Oregon’s beat writer, James Crepea, just tweeted that “Multiple Pac-12 ADs told me this winter/spring streaming only was not acceptable.”

    I think Stewart Mandel said it best, “Larry Scott sold the schools on the Pac-12 Network based on how much revenue they could hit based on low/medium/high subscriber projections. It turned out to be below low. Hard to imagine the schools making another risky bet on a newish platform.”

    I think the SEC can get away with pioneering something like this, maybe the Big Ten. I don’t see it working for the Pac.

      I wonder how much Oregon and Washington are involved. I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re hoping for a bad deal so that they PAC collapses and they can try to get into the B1G.
