Jon Wilner's Pac-12 Hotline mailbag: The waiting game continues concerning the conference's media rights deal and who might be coming or going.
If a media rights deal isn’t completed by football media day, will Commissioner George Kliavkoff still speak there? Or will it be like the men’s basketball tournament, when he avoided speaking to reporters? — draywilson29
But there's one crucial difference between the two events: The commissioner's news conference is traditionally a secondary piece of the basketball tournament, typically occurring on the second or third day; with the Pac-12 football media festivities in July, the commissioner offers the opening remarks.
He isn't contractually bound to offer opening remarks and answer questions. The conference could simply introduce Colorado coach Deion Sanders, hand him the microphone for an hour and get on with the show. In other words, Fox, which owns the Big Ten — err, owns the Big Ten's media rights -- might decide coastal divisions are financially beneficial and create a 20- or 24-team league.I believe the Pac-12 will cobble together a deal in the next few weeks that keeps the schools together until at least 2030, when the next round of realignment hits.
With six schools committed, the conference could add San Diego State and one more to make eight and move forward from there. At that size, it would be recognized by the NCAA and, crucially, qualify for inclusion in the College Football Playoff. If all 10 schools sign the grant-of-rights agreement, is that a sure sign they're all-in for the length of the deal? I imagine the penalty for trying to break out of it would be too steep to contemplate? — @Cargoman0363We have assumed throughout the process that the conference would seek a medium-length contract .
The Pac-12 lost USC and UCLA two years before its contract cycle ended and only six months before the normal window for negotiations to commence.
