This meeting will be public and private. Similar to the Colorado meeting last week. I believe that they will discuss a vote to leave the Pac 12. If they setup an additional meeting on Thursday it means that they are going to the Big 12.

I have no inside knowledge. However, I wonder if the Big 10 would take Stanford over Oregon. As a research institution, Oregon is a little stronger than UNLV, but weaker than Utah and much weaker than Stanford.Athlon is reporting Oregon, Washington, Clemson and Florida St could join the Big10 this week?

Funny, USC and UCLA not being in the Pac 12 doesn't deter my interest. They tend to be favoritized (probably due to population then due to success). I'm an underdog type, so them leaving spreads the wealth to teams most don't care about.Stay tuned. Info is already leaking. Heavy streaming deal as we suspected. Money in the low $20's. Apple+ may be the big player.
My favorite teams are USC and UCLA so I won't be subscribing to watch what is left of the pac12. Tough decisions for some schools to make. Do you stay or do you go. I think some leave because regardless of the money you have to favor a Linear TV package like the Big12 has for exposure.
The Pac 12 network was unavailable on DirectTv, Youtube TV and I'm sure others. Compared to what they had before, this might actually be an upgrade for those that want to see Pac ganesStay tuned.

I grew up watching USC football and UCLA basketball. Not due to population but more of a fan of those two sports for which I've had the privilege to watch live and seen their success. That being said I'm a solid Rebel fan and always will be. I don't care for the two AZ schools. OR, UT and WA have nothing for me. I loved watching Wazzu with the Pirate running that ship but that run is over.Funny, USC and UCLA not being in the Pac 12 doesn't deter my interest.

Same true of the TV deal. I'm already an AppleTV+ subscriber, so either I'll already get whatever they provide, or it will be a small additional fee like how MLS is being handled.
That said, average fan ain't gonna find em. And it will be extremely difficult to make new fans that aren't already somehow involved in either the school, conference, or network.
From some of the twitter guys, it sounds like the media deal presented wasn't worth voting on. Others say they left feeling optimistic. But yeah, I'd guess it won't take too long to find out. If AZ jumps, it's a good indication that the PAC media meeting didn't go well. If they hold for a bit, maybe there's a chance of something good coming from it, but who knows.Ok! The Pac12 meeting is over and they left without voting on the new media deal. Hopefully, we hear more soon but, it seems like they are keeping this all quiet. We may learn more after this afternoons AZ meeting. If they vote with their feet that will tell us all we need to know.
I was just thinking about those feeling optimistic. I'm sure it's the usual school like Washington State who will be pushing for everyone to stick together. lol.From some of the twitter guys, it sounds like the media deal presented wasn't worth voting on.

If it's a heavy streaming option, what happens to the Pac 12 network? Is that just going to go away? Otherwise, couldn't they keep that and still televise games? If not, my next question is how many people were subscribed to the Pac 12 network? Because logically, most of those would probably subscribe to this new streaming option I'd think.
The thing is that the Big12 +31 million dollars is a sure thing. Stability is a sure thing. Exposure a sure thing. What the Pac12 presented today is based on less money with the potential for "escalators" made from dreams and wishes. I would be shocked if AZ eventually decides to remain in the Pac12. I think they would be out of their mind to do it.
When Apple was mentioned months ago their plan was to utilize the Pac12 Network's infrastructure as they aren't currently equipped for it.If it's a heavy streaming option, what happens to the Pac 12 network?

I thought I remembered hearing that there was a possible partnership between Apple and Disney (ESPN), but haven't seen much on that recently. Maybe that option went away.When Apple was mentioned months ago their plan was to utilize the Pac12 Network's infrastructure as they aren't currently equipped for it.
I believe you were right. But, since then ESPN walked away from any negotiations and then they started laying off personnel. Apple if they get all rights could sell some games. If anyone is still interested.I thought I remembered hearing that there was a possible partnership between Apple and Disney (ESPN), but haven't seen much on that recently.

I think that was the reason it was going to work out though. ESPN (Disney) struggling financially, but they have the manpower and logistics. Apple has the money but lacks the manpower and logistics. Maybe they would still team up somehow, but IDKI believe you were right. But, since then ESPN walked away from any negotiations and then they started laying off personnel.
