Pac-12 discusses 'small package' of games with The CW as it competes with major leagues for TV $$$

The latest news in realignment is magic. That is if you believe "Chris Angel's Magic With The Stars" is a proper lead-in to major college football. That's the kind of foundational programming featured on The CW, a broadcast network that specializes in ratings giants such as "World's Funniest Animals" and "The Goes Wrong Show."
The CW has been in discussions with the Pac-12 as a linear partner in the league's much scrutinized new media rights deal, multiple sources confirm to CBS Sports. However, sources also say those discussions were weeks ago and only regarding what was described as a "small package" of games.
A 10-team Pac-12 has about 65-70 games per year to sell. Nearly nine months news broke of USC and UCLA leaving for the Big Ten, the conference hasn't been able to find a buyer or buyers.
"It's just not a market to be a seller of major college sports rights at this particular moment," said Patrick Crakes, a programming expert, media consultant and former senior vice president with Fox Sports.
That doesn't necessarily mean a deal won't get done, but a lingering question remains: Who is going to carry Pac-12 games beginning in 2024? And that begs an even bigger question: What kind of deal can the league get?
CBS Sports previously reported the wait could be months.
Media consultant Jim Williams told CBS Sports last week he was high on The CW as well as ION as broadcast options for the Pac-12. The Athletic reported "recent discussions" between the Pac-12 and The CW.
The CW owns stations in Chicago, New York, Dallas and Tampa Bay -- key areas beyond the West Coast where the Pac-12 could have penetration. The Pac-12 would also have the advantage of being able to produce those games. The league has the infrastructure left over from the Pac-12 Networks, which is expected to cease operations when the current deal expires in 2024.
"Basically, they have fiber optics at every one of those campuses," Williams said. "They're wired already. The ability to produce these games is a huge advantage the conference has in negotiating any deal.
"That's a huge benefit for whoever it is. If you're CW or ION or any combination of the two, the fact you don't have to send a production team to wherever is a huge plus."

No idea what y’all’s (conference) is what going to do.
Loser programs? Y’all have to “stream”?
Other parties realize the gig is up and move out?
“Realignment” is a good thing? A bad thing?
Who is going to show the World of college football the PAC is SERIOUS about sports to everyone in the nation…especially football… -
Well, I would say that at least two of the remaining schools in the conference are paying their staffs a nationally relevant amount of money. Even Utah is probably paying a decent amount. They have multiple NIL programs and UW specifically does shit that makes sense like, you know, pay guys who are proven on the field. Develop guys like Martin who Tamu fucked up initially. Kept their OC from going to Tuscaloosa.SECDAWG said:

Oregon State and Washington State are trying as best they can with their resources and their last outside coaching hires were good in Smith and Rolovich.
Cal and Stanford are tough but then again SEC has Vanderbilt.
The issue is 3/4 corners schools that the big 12 dipshits covet: they are all shitty football programs that make shitty hires. Combined 3 conference championship appearances in 12 years, and none of them were competitive in the game. Prime and Dillingham will be mediocre at best. Arizona with Fisch? JFC, replace them with SDSU yesterday.
SEC has plenty of shitty programs who will never do anything. I wouldn't consider them 'serious' schools. -

Let’s not bring any “Shitty SEC” schools to this. Not only could you be talking about but are they poor???
Guess we may be saying maybe….. Vandy!!! Those guts that won a NCS in baseball and May be one of the “richest” schools in the SEC(ohhh, minus football). Let’s leave them out, ehh, they don’t count.,,
We do know here LSU women won the NCS in basketball this year, ehh? 👎 right???
We do know here GA won the NCS in football this past year,and maybe the year before in football , ehh???(and the last 4 NCS came from
The SEC).????
We do know Ole Miss won the last NCS in baseball in 2022, ehhhh???
We do know, right here and now, MS St won THE National Championship in 2021 baseball, ehhhh,,???
Fukn list goes on and on,,
SEC has won like the last 13 of last 20 NCS in football(mostly what most of us care about) many Baseball Championships, etc.,,
I don’t really understand this arguement with dumbass fucksticks that can’t grasp this fact
Actually, to me, ANYONE who regards the SEC in a bad light in ANYWAY, is not only a dumbass right off the bat, but a jealous bitch -

Fuck -
Oregon State won the NCS in baseball. So what? UW won a NCS in golf. Again, so what? I thought Haie's post was really good until the final sentence where he was dumping on the SEC, but pointing to titles in other sports is so very Cuog.SECDAWG said:haie said:

Well, what you said is relevant. Except in volume.
We are talking last championship across the board in many sports not only in last several years, but Many years.
If I really have to explain this, I’ll ask, what makes the SEC better across the board since at least 2000??
Most in America would say the SEC has been better in major collegiate sports across the board, especially the last decade but goes beyond.,,
However, like some, you ask different??
Last decade in at least football, baseball?
Why are people hating on the SEC? They rekill Someone? Waving a flag many don’t like??
Hint, IDTS
Just for a walk on the beach, the SEC has won like the last 13 of last 2O NCS in football.. one conference. And had won the last 4, from one conference. That’s called domination, like it or not.
Baseball ain’t far off that, but is a little lesser concern here than pigskin. -
