Interesting analysis on the upcoming Pac 12 television negotiations from Jon Wilner. Yup, that\'s right - this link combines Wilner, TV Access to Pac 12 sports and ESPN/Fox - THREE of the Cardboard\'s hotspots in just ONE article.

After reading through this blog entry I\'m resigned that Stanford fans better get ready for another 4-5 years of Fox sports - and I\'m not at all sure that\'s a bad thing. The way Wilner lays this out, it\'s clear ESPN wouldn\'t be good for West Coast sports, ESPN probably won\'t be the high bidder and the non-Fox broadcast options are slim.
I hope Scott is working HARD on how to improve the overall quality and availability from Fox as part of this future deal.
My personal pet peeves this year are, 1) Poor Fox production values, 2) Poor access to Stanford basketball this season (easier to watch the area\'s WCC schools), 3) Pac 12 BBall tournament will be played YET AGAIN in front of yawning "crowds" at Staples.
