I don't get the DP, but in the other articles I saw, there is no "Coach Prime or no Coach Prime" language used.
Maybe Phil said that, but I don't think: 1. he's that stupid, 2. that he'd buck CP publicly
more… ?
“The next 24 hours could be VERY interesting or the same old same old.”
That quote basically sums up the last 400 pages in this thread. Thanks for that insight Jim.
Oops. Don't know why I missed it.
This was last sentence of article.
Here you go.
DiStefano added that he had yet to see a “final number on media rights (from Kliavkoff) … that’s why we’re meeting tomorrow.”
You are 0-2 with your gotcha questions.
Not sure if seeing numbers is on the agenda or if that was a demand for the Commish to move beyond deal concepts and present something tangible. In Phil's position, I'd expect to be provided with at least an estimated range of revenue for deal options. If K can't provide that at this stage, that's concerning.

Iger, ESPN:
"Analyst estimates vary widely in terms of how much Disney could collect from a sale, ranging from $8 billion to $23 billion, depending on which networks were included in a potential deal and how the value of each broadcast and cable channel was calculated. In his comments, Iger emphasized that ESPN was not among the assets on the chopping block, though he said he would seek strategic partners to help move the sports network into a fully direct-to-consumer business in the near future".

I wonder if PD has gained some confidence and a more assertive attitude with CP behind him now, and is doing just that; demanding updates with tangible numbers
this just in (my head):
stanford will use part of its massive endowment to buy espn from disney. of course, among their new rules for the conference, everyone will be required to spot them 14 points to start the game and opponents will only be allowed 9 defenders.

And that sums up why the Pac has been so poorly managed.

Calling it, later today Canzano writes the following:
The PAC directors met Thursday to discuss the ongoing media rights negotiations. "The update was very positive," said a source. "We're all on the same page, committed to one another. Things are looking very good and we expect this to be wrapped up fairly soon."

Simply looking at the rough layout of that map I think the big problem is very obvious.
Dr. Phil is still alive?

The way I interpreted this line is today is when they see the final offer that starts the paperwork to sign the deal (ideally, if it’s good enough). But it’s Phil speaking so who really knows.
DiStefano added that he had yet to see a “final number on media rights (from Kliavkoff) … that’s why we’re meeting tomorrow.”
What's that? Time Zones?
this assumes geographical distance should be the ONLY factor in forming conferences and I'm not sure I agree with that assumption.
No, just how look how spread out everything is in the West and how congested everything is East of ~Kansas/Oklahoma.
I just think this map visualises that problem reasonably well.
I guess I don't see that as a problem
he has been aggressively and repeatedly wrong this entire time. So many failed predictions. He's throwing tipless darts at a board.ITB also in case he has been aggressively wrong this entire time

I wonder if prunes could help...
Good luck with that Bob. He’s stuck in a cash crunch with giant outlays in front of him ($9b for hulu, jan’24, billions for future rights) and declining revenue. Q1 2023 saw record cancellations and brought cable and satellite to 1992 subscription levels.
My guess is he had some nice conversations with Tim Cook about ESPN and Cook politely declined unless Apple were to get the whole enchilada. Iger doesnt want to give that up.
Iger Im sure knows if he doesnt find someone soon hes going to be forced to sell or forced to watch these other companies buy the rights out down the road anyways. Once he sells ABC he’s adding another competitor working against him for the future rights market too.
ESPNs carefully constructed monopoly is coming to an end.
Somehow our rights deal , or lack thereof, is likely attached to this mess.
