As the Pac-12 Conference continues to negotiate a new media rights deal, its Commissioner George Kliavkoff remains confident that a deal will be reached soon. The Pac-12 is in the process of negotiating a new media rights deal with ESPN and Fox Sports, which could bring in hundreds of millions of dollars for the conference.
Kliavkoff has expressed his optimism that the deal will be finalized soon, noting that the Pac-12 is in a strong position and that the conference has been “very deliberate” in its negotiations. He also believes that the conference’s current media rights deal, which expires in 2024, will be extended.
The Pac-12 is one of the most successful conferences in college sports, and its media rights deal could be one of the most lucrative in college sports history. The conference is hoping to capitalize on its success by securing a long-term media rights deal that will bring in a significant amount of revenue.
Kliavkoff has also noted that the Pac-12 is in a strong position to negotiate a favorable deal due to the conference’s success on the field. The Pac-12 has won multiple national championships in recent years, and its teams have consistently performed well in bowl games. This success has helped to raise the profile of the conference and has made it an attractive option for media companies.
The Pac-12 is also looking to capitalize on its geographic location, as it covers some of the most populous states in the country. This could help to drive up the value of the conference’s media rights deal, as it would give media companies access to a large and diverse audience.
Kliavkoff’s confidence in the Pac-12’s ability to secure a favorable media rights deal is shared by many within the conference. The Pac-12 is in a strong position to negotiate a lucrative deal, and Kliavkoff believes that a deal will be reached soon. If the conference can secure a long-term media rights deal, it could bring in hundreds of millions of dollars for the conference and help to further solidify its place among the top conferences in college sports.
