[QUOTE="Gary's Shirtless Revenge, post: 3160480, member: 72515"] Good week last week for the Big 12s future TV rights… Big Ten has started finalizing football Tier 1 deals with Fox, CBS, and NBC. Amazon has made a superior financial bid vs NBC, but I don’t believe they are going to win out. ESPN has walked away and is sticking with their Tier 2 package of mens basketball which is very profitable for the mothership. Why is this good news for the Big 12? Both Fox and ESPN are going to lose inventory if this framework holds, inventory they need to fill. They will have to choose between the PAC and the Big 12 but there is room for both. I still expect ESPN to lock this up or ESPN+Fox during their bidding window. The initial discussions are showing the Big 12 has more value than was feared (likely more than the ACC for instance). Apple is engaged with the PAC again, and again is discussing a deal that includes the PAC 12 network… The league is concerned about the further hit it will take to exposure with such a deal, but the $$ may be too much to pass up on. Again, that would be a major win for the Big 12, further enhances the supply/demand curve. PAC 12 would prefer to pair an Apple TV deal with a broadcast partner, possibly a game of the week package, but Apple has resisted (for obvious reasons) and is insisting on getting the PAC 12 Championship game too. WarnerDiscovery is rumored to be interested in the PAC, but they are a mess right now. Also whispers in the industry that Amazon has the Sunday Ticket package wrapped up, just working on the language. Will require Prime + a fee to subscribe, but there are plans around adding in Redzone or something similar too, would be very compelling. [/QUOTE]
