Or … and this makes the most sense to me …

Was $300 million annually what it would cost Fox for the Pac-12 to not start its own network.

In other words, did Scott say: We’ll scrap the network plans and give you all our programming, but you have to pay us for it — pay us $300 million.
Which tells me … On the open market, with a Pac-12 Network as part of the package, Scott’s aiming for $225 – $250 million annually.

He asked an interesting, but unanswerable question: Did adding Utah and CU increase the television contract enough to compensate for the diluted shares now due to 12 instead of 10 teams? He seems to believe that adding Utah and CU didn't add value per team. Maybe he's right, but there's no way to separate these things out. He also ignored the CCG question, which adds some value to the league--even above the TV rights for that game.

For a guy who's been as on top of all of this as wilner he missed a huge fact with expansion, adding CO and Utah gets them a conference championship game which is already worth 14.5million, not exactly accretive on the who scale but it off sets 1 school, now the question is do the two combined with the adition of a championship game add to the overall value? I think that answer is likely yes.
 
I also think Scott is looking long term and realizes that a 10-team conference won't be able to command the same kind of national recognition that a 12 or more team conference would. I believe the whispers that the "Pac 16" is not a dead concept.
