What keeps getting lost in all of this PAC talk is that It's still really important to put a compelling product on the field. For all but the bluebloods, viewership and brand awareness is still largely driven by fans of the entirety of the sport. Not neccesserily fans of a particular school...
So Apple TV is the latest rumor? Apple is powerful, worldwide company but Apple TV has about 25M subscribers in the U.S. making it pretty far down the list of preferred streaming providers. Seems like it would be pretty isolating for the PAC and its schools. I mean does anyone other than die...
Good point. In this entire saga I think folks are wrongly associating the PACs negotiating issues with the idea that somehow their existing brands have less value than B12 brands. As your pointing out here, that's not the case. There's no appreciative difference in the TV/media value of most B12...

Opening games are rough bets. Still TCU owns the talent edge and its offense should be the best unit playing in this game. I wouldn't lay -14 with this much uncertainty but TCUs talent is definitely 14 better than CUs
