PAC-12 networks is VERY FRUSTRATING.  They show original programming maybe 10-15% of their broadcast day in season, and almost 0% during the summer.  So what do they do with their rebroadcasts?  Cut the game play and put in ads.  A basketball game is 40 minutes.  Their "replay" of the Utah@Colorado game uses  90 minutes of broadcast, but they dropped 6:30 (16%) of the game.  That was the period in which Colorado caught up and passed Utah.  I wonder what happened, but I'll never know.

Anyone know why a network like the PAC-12 with so much dead-time in their schedule cuts games for replays?  Is it financial, where they have to pay someone more if they air the whole game?

I don’t know, but that’s real dumb.
