That ESPN isn't talking to your conference.
That FOX isn't talking to your conference.
That the VERY BEST option appears to be a streaming only deal, not from Amazon Prime, but from Apple TV+. Can't forget to include the "+".
Thanks for the link to that "story," btw. I needed some laughs tonight. He lost me in a lot of places, but when he says that the yewts bring a "great basketball program" I had to close the page. What kind of raw nonsense is this? I especially loved, though that he is hanging his hopes on:
"“Should we explore a partnership with the Big 12 or Pac 12[?]” UNC athletic director Bubba Cunningham texted university chancellor Kevin Guskiewicz."
They weren't saying they were merging. Bubba mentions the Big 12 first (and frankly it would make better sense, but that is another post). After all however, it is, as the author freely admits, just a pipe dream.
The PAC(whatever) is not going to merge with the ACC.
The PAC(whatever) will be lucky to be on TV in a year or so. (And no, Apple TV+ doesn't count.)
