utenation Posted September 22, 2020 Author Share Posted September 22, 2020 Wow... Here’s an idea. Top P12 brass all got performance bonuses right before the conference brought out the axe for furloughs and layoffs.. To the tune of $4 mill. Scott apparently got $2.2 million. Now that is fantastic leadership. This reminds me of Clark Griswold’s moron boss in Christmas Vacation... Families out of work but the guys responsible for having us look like the worst P5 conference revenue wise all got their checks.. Unbelievable. That money should have went to save jobs or at worst, back to the schools.. https://www.deseret.com/sports/2020/9/21/21450030/report-commissioner-other-pac-12-officials-received-bonuses-before-layoffs-furloughs-larry-scott Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott was supposed to take us into the future, and he's arguably worse than Hansen. I'm not too familiar with Hansen's shortcomings or never really got into the inner workings of the Pac-12 until CU joined the conference. What was so bad about Hansen? Just curious.

PAC MAN Posted October 11, 2020 Share Posted October 11, 2020 There's always ESPN+ until the media rights expire. Eight Big 12 schools have their third tier rights on ESPN+. The two Big 12 schools that don't have ESPN+? Oklahoma and Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clpp01 Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 I'm not buying that there wasn't a market for a Pac-12 network, more like the Scott & the conference yet again thought too highly of themselves and placed restrictions on a partnership which soured the viability of a jointly operated network. The shutdown has shown that their is a demand for Pac-12 content and we know ESPN made an offer a couple years ago to partner with the Pac-12 with the network that was turned down at the time. Network solution seems rather simple, 1. Fire the doofus 2. Hire someone competent to replace said doofus 3. Have university presidents step back and allow their guy to do his job 4. Shift the network priorities to cover football/basketball over all else 5. kick ASU out of the Pac-12 5A. Sell off part of network to ESPN or Fox... with upcoming media contract 6.

The thing I took from that article is, we need to get to the table this fall. With ESPN suffering some subscriber losses as well and the B10 contract up before ours is, we can't wait.. 11 of our media markets are in the top 22, all 12 are in the top 30. I hope our presidents get this one right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope our presidents get this one right. I’m with you on the need to act ASAP. I did tweet Wilner directly about the P12 and streaming channels. He followed up on a Hotline article saying the P12N can’t have its own streaming channel due to the contract. It sounded like the P12 can just negotiate a new deal that takes effect immediately and tear up the current contract. Right now we need a new commissioner in place and I don’t think those type of deals can be negotiated in a short time span between July 1sr and the start of football season. We’ll see about that otherwise 2022 would be the start date and we could synch up the timing with the B10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
