Pac-12 set to announce $2.7 bil media deal

Agreed but expected.

It is like a football player in year 4 of a 6 year deal. He knows if he is in his prime that he is 2 years away from getting his based on the bloat from the other guy who is not as good.

If the SEC ever adds Texas A&M, it will be great for the TV market based arguments...

bottom line, is that the current sec deal now looks pretty mediocre.

no way, based on ratings, should the pac 12 get anywhere close to sec and big 10 money

That's because so many of the Pac-10 games were on regional FSN broadcasting. IMO the networks (read: ESPN) dictates who gets the ratings and the notoriety, not the teams playing. Sportscenter deliberately downplays games that aren't on their networks. Whoever is on top of the SEC is the exception because they're usually too big to be ignored. This doesn't prove true for everyone else, though.

Consider Boise St. They are moving to the Mountain West and will be getting their ESPN coverage reduced significantly. You think they will continue to be media darlings? I doubt it.

Tennessee fan first and foremost, but I still love me some Pac-10 ball. I commend Larry Scott, clearly the best marketeer in cfb right now and really has the league moving places.

USC always got plenty of attention. The networks may help, but the reason the SEC has been getting so much attention is because they have had better matchups, IMO.

Next deal always makes the previous look silly especially in big time athletics. The next SEC deal will eclipse all others and so the cycle will continue.

USC is usually one of those too big to be ignored things. It's the second most prominent sports team in the country's second largest market. They have to be on the air any time they're playing decent.

Yup. Agreed with milo.

I really hope this provides more exposure for the Pac-12. Maybe Gerhart would have rightfully won his Heisman with this deal.

I don't think he deserved it. I'd have probably voted for Suh.

Question for the Pac-12 posters:

How much of the new network will the Pac-12 own? I haven't seen it in any article on the deal.

I ask, because the SEC and Big 10 both own 100% of their respective networks. The new deal that the Big XII struck (with the same partners as the Pac-12) only gives the conference 49% ownership.

big 10 only owns 52%. pac-10 will own 100% and it appears will have more content on it (more games per week) than the sec.

IIRC with the new deal, every Pac-10 football game and possibly every men's basketball game will be nationally broadcasted.

Yeah, Texas gets their own network and continues to get a disproportionate share of their league's income. I'm sure they are just crushed.

Of course it will have more games. Nobody else is going to waste their time televising Washington State-Colorado.

I believe by "more games per week" he means that the Pac-12 network will be showing crap like olympic sports and swimming, which the SEC knows no one wants to watch.

Who owns the rest of the Big 10 network? ESPN? First I've heard of that.

nope. 3 pac-12 football games a week. and it's not about viewers, it's about subscribers. the pac-12 wont get as much per subscriber as the big-10, but it will have many multiple of the subscribers. remember LA, SF, seattle, denver, salt lake city, pheonix, portland are all fairly major media markets.

That's speculative BS. The ridiculous euphoria of PAC 10 fans the last couple of days is funny. Even the coaches in that league know the SEC, Big 10, and Big 12 will make that deal look like chicken feed as soon as they get around to reworking their deals. Further, as a Big 10 basketball coach told me today, "We're not in bed with a company that couldn't run the Dodgers. That's like running Wal Mart into the ground." I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone get more praise for doing nothing than Larry Scott has gotten the last couple of days.
