I think there will be some sort of announcement tomorrow.  Not sure what it will be.

The University of Arizona‘s Board of Regents have scheduled a meeting for Tuesday,

Scheer was also the first to report that the Pac-12 is gearing up to present a new media deal to league members, but there is “pessimism within the conference,” and it could be commissioner George Kliavkoff’s “last stand in keeping the conference together.” However, it seems as though Arizona may not be interested in hearing the commissioners final plea.

Per a “inside source”….

The deal will be a streaming contract with Apple.  Also, Apple will take over the P12 Network for the amount owing to Comcast for the accounting “error” that occurred years ago.  Apple will then create an add-on option to AppleTV that be an additional charge to Apple subscribers.  

A few games each week would be available outside of Apple.  It is unknown who would air those games (I am thinking a subcontract with ESPN for PAC after Dark games).  

The total payout to each school would be in the $20 million range.  

Also, three new schools would receive an invitation to join the Pac9 (SMU, Tulane, San Diego St.?)

There are other contingencies regarding annual payouts……

It sounds like a complete bust of a deal.  Oregon and Washington must be fuming.  

Of course, none of the above has been confirmed…….

based on "sources" on the internet the "worst possible case" today

- UA, ASU, UU go to the Big 12
- UW and UO go to the Big 10 (along with FSU and Clemson)
- the Pac 4 consists of us, Cal, OSU, and WSU, we can do a triple round robin in football!!!!

on the "upside"

- or maybe the Pac 7 if Tulane, SMU, and SDSU (or whoever) get invites (and still want to join) and the above also happens

one question I have is does the Big 12 expansion get them any more TV money or will their current deal just get split between more teams?
