I watched that particular game as a recording from Sling (which is delivered as a stream over the Internet). It had no pixelation that I noticed. So, the problem is not in PAC-12's original signal.
It makes a lot of difference how you are watching the game: via a TV using a Xfinity set-top box that is directly wired to their coax versus on a old smart phone using some public or private wifi connecting to some stream sent from half a world away. I'd suggest you consider what locally might be causing the signal to be faulty and try to confirm/deny it is a local-to-you issue. If it isn't, then talk to your provider.
---- Parenthetically:
The PAC-12 apparently chose 1080i 30Hz as their format instead 720p 60Hz. (See my 2013 post.) Neither of those would appear pixelated. For volleyball, the blur of the ball would be a lot less in single frames if the PAC-12 had gone with 720p 60Hz. IMO, 1080i 30Hz is appropriate for landscape shots, but 720p 60Hz would be better for action, whether look for a touch in VB, a sideline call in tennis, or looking at the finish of a swimming race, or even watching water polo.
I watch on a computer that's hardwired on a Gig. network. I don't have the same problem when the VB matches are on ESPN. I've watch soccer games on exactly the same setup on the same channel without having the same problem.
