Big 12 is stealing one program and more could leave if media deal is not reached soon.
The Pac 12 has been waiting for more than a year to see what their new media rights deal is going to look like. Speculation has been all over the board, from major networks like NBC and ESPN to using the CW as a linear TV partner along with streaming services like Apple and Amazon to an online subscription only model.
If by “hiccups” he means losing another school, the one with Deion Sanders, the most talked about head coach in the nation outside Tuscaloosa, bringing all kinds of hype back to Boulder, then he was right on. I mean, George himself compared Coach Prime’s presence to that of … and this is 100% true … Beyonce or Taylor Swift, saying Sanders certainly adds value to a media deal.
“The Pac 12 Board of Directors has met regularly throughout the process and has been united in their commitment to one another and to the Pac 12. This commitment and patience will be rewarded with an announcement in the near future.”The Pac12 has been reluctant to add new schools before they have their broadcast plan locked in. The only way to combat contraction is with expansion.
Losing Denver is not as big a deal, especially if they can add another team like Southern Methodist University and gain a presence in the Dallas area, which has always produced a slew of Division 1 talent. Now, for the first time ever, the Pac 12 needs the Aztecs more than the Aztecs need the Pac 12. This is the time to get everyone on Montezuma Mesa on the phone with Kliavkoff’s office and get the negotiations started.
A 9-team league simply doesn’t work in the modern college sports world. Shoot, anything smaller than 12 is playing with fire as teams continue to flip conference allegiances.
