    Now I'm no money expert, but that doesn't sound like a good thing.

    I know there's some things that could be done to possibly increase revenues. But putting the Pac 12 new on Directv is not the magic bullet everyone thinks it is. The games on the Pac 12 net are the ones that people dont' want to watch outside of their markets for the most part. And they rarely feature USC, UCLA or Stanford that is unless they are playing a small market team like Utah, WSU, Oregon or Oregon St.

    I'm not defending Scott, but I'm actually surprised the per school distribution numbers are that HIGH. People on the West coast don't care about Football as compared to the South and Midwest. A new Commish or a deal with Directv won't change that and in fact with more people cord cutting, penetration into households on a pay level will decrease.

    It's as simple as Direct TV and Larry Scott not being able to get the deal done. It's costing the PAC up to 15 million per team, per season. While the SEC and B1G have that deal done and are being paid proportionally.

    No it's not. The Pac 12 would maybe net $.50 per household on the high end and it would be in a bundle and not included in basic Sports packages. So penetration would be low.

    Is the pac12 trying to follow the wwe network strategy?

    Is Vince McMahon once again ahead of the curve, setting trends and blue prints everyone else will follow?
