Pac-12 media deal likely to be less than expected

J
Wilner has an article out today that basically says the Big 12 jumping at their first rights deal essentially locked the Pac-12 into a lower-than-expected deal due to setting the market value.

How low? I don't know.

But certainly not a great position for the conference. Expect the possibility that Pac-12 teams make less overall than the Big 12, even if they go the streaming route. I only say this because, despite largely being optimistic the last year in regards to the Pac-12's position vs the Big 12, Wilner's tone has become decidedly more negative.

Here's a bit from behind the paywall:
Which brings us back to the art of negotiating and risk recognition.
Waiting creates a void, a standing invitation for the unknown to alter the trajectory of the negotiations and the future of the conference.
Perhaps the marketplace will shift in favor of higher valuations — after all, the Pac-12 is the only Power Five conference with inventory available. (Everyone else is locked up until the 2030s.) Perhaps new suitors will enter the fray.
Or, maybe, the economy will deteriorate. Maybe current bidders will grow weary of the Pac-12’s stance and either reduce their offers substantially or walk away altogether.
Had ESPN, Amazon, Fox, Apple, CBS — or a combination therein — made a killer offer, the Pac-12 board would have authorized Kliavkoff to accept.
The Pac-12 could keep pushing, it could keep attempting to draft off the Big Ten’s deal, but the Big 12’s valuation is the reality.
The market is set.
Any maneuverability is on the margins.
We expect the process to conclude by the middle of March. If that window comes and goes with no deal imminent, our outlook will take a turn for the worse.

Looking ahead to next year’s basketball roster

U
I’m going to assume that NIL keeps BC here one more year.

Gone - Marco Anthony

All but gone - Michael Saunders

With the unused scholarship we’ll have at least three openings. One of those will go to Hunter Erickson.

C - BC, Keiba Keta
PF- Ben Carlson
SF - Lazar Stefanovic, Boston Holt, Luka Tarlac
SG - Gabe Madsen, Will Exacte, Hunter Erickson, Jaxon Brenchley
PG - Rollie Worster

Needs: scoring firepower, athleticism, point guard.

This what I hate about Football Blue Bloods

Now they have an 8th home game. Without a designed ppl t. No reason really given beyond their new conference changes can be assumed. Sucks for Washington.

I really hate OSU. They don’t want to travel. Just like SEC blues and others back east. Finally Florida leavin the south for a non conf game for us.

Per my Notre Dame contacts on Ludwig

Alex Markham
I’ve been told that Notre Dame is confident on landing Ludwig. Expect Utah to fight to keep him, but Utah could be looking for a new OC soon. I’m told their recent OC Tommy Rees was making $2 mill at ND and I’d expect the same for Ludwig.

If/when this goes down, initially I’d expect Utah to focus on promoting Harding or going for the stars with Rich Rod.

I’m not saying Ludwig to ND is a sure thing, but it could be a difficult fight for Utah with how confident ND feels.

The Next Utah OC

kllws55
If Ludwig Takes the ND job where does the next OC come from?

1) there doesn't appear to be any coach qualified to run the current offense on staff.

2) no veteran off coach like a Dennis Erickson to step in and keep the offense at it's current level.

3) can’t think of any young coach (with Utah ties) that is a offensive coordinator type in waiting ? that fits at Utah.

4) recruiting takes a big hit with Ludwig gone.

5) so much for just sitting around waiting for spring football practice to start and to see what QB Nate Johnson has to offer.

6) Is there anyone on the BYU staff that could handle Utah’s offense?

Please forget number six I don’t know what came over me. I hope my fellow Utes won’t hold this against me.
