Great points. I think we all would like to see the Pac-12 on ESPN, but we wouldn\'t want to be treated like second-class citizens there. And as Wilner indicates, it\'s hard to see how we would be anything but second-class citizens on ESPN. Given how much other programming ESPN is paying top dollar for, it\'s hard to see the Pac-12 getting marquee billing there.

I would rather see Comcast/NBC win the rights than Fox, because the Pac-12 would be a valued property there, and production values might be improved. It doesn\'t look like that\'s going to happen, though. Hopefully, as you said, Larry Scott will be able to demand better telecasts out of Fox than we\'re currently getting.
