The conference wants a deal in place before considering the likes of SDSU and SMU.
Because of the quantity of questions, we are unable to answer all of them each week. Thanks for you understanding.
If the 10 remaining schools stand to receive $ 30 million annually in media revenue , none of the expansion options would increase that figure materially. That said, the Hotline has spoken to numerous sources in the sports media world over the past few months who believe the strategy is backward — that the Pac-12 should solve the expansion piece first, then formulate a media rights deal.To be clear: The Hotline doesn’t “favor” one over the other as Pac-12 expansion options. We are simply attempting to guess along with the university presidents.
The Pac-12 could very well pass on expansion and move forward with the current 10 schools if there are no material benefits to expansion. My guess is that resolution comes in the second half of January or the first part of February. But it could stretch into March. Kliavkoff has said repeatedly that he feels “no urgency” to complete the deal.
I’m not sure that works. If Amazon partners with the conference, then it’s doing business with each university and that potentially becomes a conflict of interest. Our sense is that a chunk of the frustration is rooted in the 12- and six-day selection process. If fans were given more notice, the night games would feel more palatable.
It’s safe to assume the inventory logistics are consuming plenty of oxygen in the ongoing negotiations.
