But how is Larry Scott a bad commissioner?

Maybe a women's tennis commissioner wasn't the answer

    Hm. An ex-women's tennis commissioner is having difficulty negotiating independent content deals with major TV providers. Who would have thought?

    "So last year, the Pac-12 had to keep 33 percent of league revenues to help defray those costs. By comparison, the Big Ten and SEC keep less than 10 percent."

    Larry Scott knows how to pay himself.

    What's worse, because the Pac12 is doing this all in their own and don't give a cut off the top to ESPN, their revenues are much bigger than other conferences. So they are keeping a bigger chunk of a bigger pie.

    Utah's AD has been publicly bitching about it...

    Counterargument: the Pac-12 is just a few years behind the Big-10 Network, which had the same issues with starting up a proprietary network and a lower national profile than the Pac is at right now.

    The burning question is will the Pac12Net ever get the kind of national distribution that the Big 10 net does? Pissing off DirectTV looks to have been unwise.

    Wrong. Big10 is a JV with Fox. Split 50/50 or thereabouts.

    The issue with the Pac12 network is they cut out an ESPN/Fox and are doing it 100% on their own. Great in theory if it works because you keep 100% of the profit, unlike B10, SEC who give half to ESPN and Fox. Problem is it doesn't appear Larry can execute that plan. The pac12N is distributing minimal cash and withholding larger chunks of the carriage deals to finance Scott's master plan.

    Not that a whoregon fan should be concerned with money. You guys should be fine with your child labor cash cow.
