    Some sort of Utah Sports coverage site:

    So where is the hold up? I’ve been told the Pac-12 is currently negotiating with both Amazon and Apple TV on the streaming end and because it’s new territory the process takes longer and involves more lawyers than simply negotiating with one of the classic TV powers. There is a general precedent in contracts with classic TV powers such as ESPN, Fox Sports, etc. and the various athletic conferences, there isn’t one with streaming services and that makes drawing up a contract more complex and therefore more time-consuming


     

    Horseshit  you can’t tell me that Amazon and Apples lawyers don’t know how to negotiate a contract deal.  

     

     

  2. Funnily enough, Utah's AD, Mark Harlan, was USF's AD in the midst of when the Big East collapsed and they got left behind. Upon the BE's collapse he oversaw their fade into obscurity with bad coaching hires and a total lack of program investment that ultimately got them left behind again when the Big 12 expanded (a few years after he left for Utah), even though EVERYONE knew the Big 12 was looking to expand again.

    14 years ago on the original board when aggy started bleating about "standing offer" the following was postulated:

    PAC South:

    az

    az state

    0u

    okie lite

    sand aggy

    The University

    ucla

    usc

    everyone plays in LA every year

    everyone plays in the State of Texas every year

    it would have been the best division in college football

    and it would have ended the madness

    I hated it then and I still hate it now
