do you know when Comcast is going start covering the Pac-12 network on the east coast?

I wanted to start with humor/reality
Let's go with...6 months after DirecTV & FiOS carry the Pac-12 network or whenever the Pac-12 becomes the Pac-14 by adding Temple and Rutgers.

And then with that silly comment about Temple it dawned on me that there might be a way to up the ante a bit without really impacting the Pac-12 too much.
That alternative? Partner with the Atlantic 10, or any East Coast conference that is primarily about basketball that might love the opportunity.

The Pac-12 could easily carve out early Saturday (from the West Coast perspective), Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays for some East coast basketball only conference that is tired of starting games at 10:00 EST or after the Duke game ends.  It actually could be a win win.  And those Eastern time zone content would enable us on the West Coast to avoid that inevitable 10AM Saturday tip.  (You know it is coming!)

Without a game changer the Pac-12 needs to a team from the conference to win the BCS CG or the NCAA Basketball Tournament or for Dish to start really gaining share in the Pacific and Mountain time zones.
