The original problem that I have always heard with the PAC-12’s current deal was the lack of access to watching the games. Pac-12 network was not on Directv, so much harder to get that network. I pay around $40 a month to have Slingtv solely to watch the Utes football and basketball then cancel. And from what I read-and this is purely conjecture as no one knows at this point what a deal with Apple might look like-you would need to subscribe to Apple and then subscribe to a season pass, similar to what they’ll do with the MLS rights they now have. Seems like a lot of barriers to watching Pac-12 games especially for future recruits who want to be on tv. So beyond the money aspect it may make Pac 12 schools less competitive when future recruits can grow up watching Big 10, SEC and Big 12 games every Saturday by channel surfing Fox, ESPN and the networks.
