Sources: Apple emerges as likely play for Pac-12
Although several options were presented to Pac-12 presidents and chancellors, the primarily subscription-based Apple streaming deal emerged as the likely leader when commissioner George Kliavkoff presented it to the group Tuesday.
Pac-12 George Kliavkoff finally released some details about a proposed new media deal to league members yesterday......and it's not good.
The proposed deal does not involve any networks at all, but is an all-streaming option partnered with Apple. The payouts for member schools would be low, but could eventually compete with the Big 12 and ACC if subscription metrics are hit.
This kind of deal won't keep the Arizona schools, Oregon or Washington (or anybody for that matter) happy.
