Seem to be forcing the action as there are reports that the PAC will look to begin media rights negotiations "immediately" for their next deal for a couple years from now...IMO, a huge mistake as it will put at the forefront how much value their brand has lost (from what I've seen, probably a 40% hit in media rights value) with the LA market schools leaving. The Big 12 probably isn't any better, but it at least looks a lot more stable.
The league is dead if the Big 12 scoops up those schools. I think 4/6 of the remaining members would never vote in schools like Boise State, Fresno State, San Diego State, etc. to keep the PAC brand afloat.
yea that's odd to be negotiating when you're not in a position of power, but maybe they feel like they need a new TV deal in place to recruit new schools and keep the ones they have...
