The Pac-12 presidents have recently rejected an offer from ESPN to broadcast their 2020 college football season. This offer would have provided the Pac-12 with much needed revenue and exposure, but the presidents have instead opted for a much more ambitious proposal.
The Pac-12 presidents are hoping to be able to broadcast their 2020 college football season on their own network. This would provide the Pac-12 with complete control over their broadcasts, as well as a larger share of the revenue generated from the broadcasts. However, this proposal is highly ambitious and may not be achievable in 2020.
The Pac-12 presidents are aware of the risks associated with their proposal, but they believe that the potential rewards outweigh the risks. The Pac-12 presidents are confident that they can create a successful network that will generate significant revenue and exposure for the conference.
The Pac-12 presidents are also hoping that their proposal will help to level the playing field between the Power Five conferences and the Group of Five conferences. The Power Five conferences have been able to generate significantly more revenue and exposure than the Group of Five conferences due to their exclusive broadcasting deals with ESPN. The Pac-12 presidents hope that their proposal will help to close this gap and give the Group of Five conferences a better chance at competing with the Power Five conferences.
The Pac-12 presidents’ proposal is an ambitious one, but it could potentially provide the conference with significant rewards if it is successful. It remains to be seen whether or not the Pac-12 presidents will be able to achieve their goals in 2020, but their proposal is certainly an interesting one.
