A @pac12 update: It seems the @Pac12Network will play a big role in the new media. The likely home for all the content from a production element. They will become a direct to consumer source for the events as well as on cable and satellite
I must caution that is the framework of a deal and could change
That said the @Pac12Network has been used many times by both ESPN and FOX to produce P12 events. So it makes sense to keep costs down by making it home base. We will see IF it does come to be.
Was just coming to post this. I suggested they should do something like this several pages back. The P12N as an asset is a pretty valuable thing to me that struggled from distribution challenges under the dying cable pay set up. Its not hard to imagine a future where a lot of sports eventually become a stand alone streaming service as consumers habits continue to evolve. Owning our own network makes us less dependent than the other conferences will be on the major networks when that day comes
Cue ITB rant….

I’m going to go ahead thoroughly disagree with this. I feel as though CU’s prestige has been on the slide for a decade now, and was MUCH higher in the 90s.
I’m more charcuterie than chocolate covered strawberries, but carry….damn it, never mind.

No they did not.
I am sorry but English is not my native language.
Yeah, the conference affiliation has nothing to do with it, but the degree is definitely less prestigious now than it used to be
……as long as we can draw the line at foie gras.
The decline in the relative value of a CU-Boulder degree almost exactly coincides with the term of Phil DiStefano as Chancellor. I don’t believe that’s a simple coincidence. It also has nothing to do with what athletic conference our teams play in.
Unpopular opinion: Unless it's from a handful of elite schools (CU isn't one of them) it doesn't matter where you graduated from as long as you did. It helps with your network, especially if you're looking to stay local, but the primary thing a degree shows is that you are able to work independently, can reflect on things and have some critical thinking skills. Overall university rankings are a waste of time, a less prestigious university may well have certain programs that are better than those at perceived elite universities.

In theory yes, but that’s not how it works. CU was never elite enough academically for any employer to remember that it was any better 20 years ago. I also agree with Jens that unless it’s an Ivy or one of a handful of others, it doesn’t really matter.
And I'd say even with them it's primarily for the network you get access to.
This.
There are some network advantages if you stay within the region.
And...
That's actually the big benefit we gained by moving conferences, it strengthened the network effect in a more valuable employment region.
The CA, AZ, and WA alumni tailgates, watch parties, and overall organizations were massively strengthened by the move to the PAC.
The ones in Stoolwater, Stincoln, wacko, Lubbock, Ames, etc all took a hit, but who cares?
Yeah so either way, why should I care 20 years after getting my degree? I’d like my alma mater to be a quality institution and for current students to earn a degree to be proud of, but this debate over quality of a degree impacts me not at all.

So you’re a graduate post-2000 then?
I think it's also utterly pointless to be arguing about the prestige of your degree unless you want to feel better about yourself.
DirecTV says if you don't have them then you are doing tv wrong. lol
Say what you will about streaming, but hanging a dish on your house unless you’re in rural America is dodo bird level entertainment. DirecTV was only relevant with Sunday Ticket.
