literally the only fans who can possibly continue to care about the Pac12 Networks are the ones whose teams are the conference drecks that can't get on ESPN or FS1, but those schools are tiny and inconsequential so really there is nothing about Scott's strategy that matters to any of the fans.
Every now and then Wilner would poast something about the "great studio shows on the Pac12 Network"....I had the network for 3 years and I could never figure out when these shows were...i don't think they were consistently scheduled so, again, nobody cares.
Anyway, Wilner did a column on these numbers a couple days ago and what caught my eye was that literally the 2 worst performing networks were Pac12 and the Tennis Channel...that made me laugh.
But seriously, no one except crazy random tennis fans in the US watches it, and somehow it is more valuable than Larry's chinnovative network. And yet I can get the tennis channel on cable where I live in the metropolitan area of the capital of the cuntry. But no P12 network option through cable.
Larry needs to go back to pimping out the athletes.
