Is there a world where Apple increases the price it will pay for the Pac whatever?
That's the only way Arizona stays, and the only way to keep Oregon and Washington in the fold. Apple now knows the value Oregon and Washington have because the Big Ten media partner is willing to pay more for them that Apple apparently has offered to pay them.
These schools are whores for the money, so if the money is close and the travel not onerous for all their sports, they probably take the Apple deal.
Maybe they up their fixed payouts per school and find a way to additionally compensate them more based on individual school subscription driving performance?
The real question is how much does Apple want the Pac. Will it invest in the product quality to ultimately make it competitive with other conferences? One thing Apple TV should like is taking over Pac-12 Network, because there will be more subscribers for those who follow WBB, Baseball, Softball, W Volleyball in particular.
