Very true IMO.
Quote:The 3 other corner schools may not being going anywhere themselves. The Big 12 is limiting themselves to 14 schools and they are reportedly eyeing UCONN for their next target. You can't assume that Arizona could ace out UCONN and would Arizona be able to leave ASU behind.
I think it probable Arizona has laid pretty good groundwork with the Big-12. However, the Big-12 does need some more East Coast balance to match Central Florida and West Virginia. Not sure UCONN does that though. Pretty far from Central Florida. OTOH, Arizona is West of everybody else. ASU can probably force a "package" deal if they want to do so. UofA probably cannot. It would be just typical for ASU to prevent UofA from leaving even though ASU really doesn't want to go to the Big-12 anyway.
Quote:The delay in the Pac-12 media deal seems to be pointing toward a streaming first option. It may be painful at first
but it may give the Pac-12 a headstart on getting the best streaming real estate.
If anybody cares, which IMO is dubious.
