In our view, the Arizona schools hold the key to a recognizable Pac-12.
Are Washington and Oregon the key to survival? Even if Colorado and Arizona leave for the Big 12, the Pac would survive if Oregon and Washington stay, correct? — @bartskee33
Our sense is the Arizona regents would compel the schools to remain paired. That could pose an interesting dynamic if, for instance, ASU president Michael Crow wanted to stay and Arizona's Robert Robbins preferred to leave. Given that the Big 12's deal works out to $31.7 million per school per year, that pegs the Pac-12's valuation in the $28 million to $35 million range.The Pac-12's agreement with ESPN and Fox averages $20.8 million, while the Big 12's deal with ESPN and Fox averages $22 million — a difference of 5.5%.
Wilner: I am not aware of any major conference booting a member for poor performance, and there's no reason to expect the expulsion process to begin soon, anywhere. NBC wants to push viewers to Peacock through its agreement with the Big Ten and is using big games and brand names to achieve the goal. If the Pac-12 signs a less-than-optimal media deal, would it likely be announced on a Friday, weekend, or holiday? Would there otherwise be anything to read into the timing of a news release? — Alex Fox
Wilner: I won't comment on any specific media report rooted in anonymous sources and subjective descriptions of events.
