Negotiations for a new Pac-12 TV deal are ongoing, and I’ll have more as the situation as it develops – it’s a huge, huge story for anyone associated with the conference (fans, athletes, administrators) given the league’s revenue and exposure issues. But for now, here’s a quick update, overview and analysis based largely on discussions with media industry analysts. – First, here the status: We’re in the middle of the exclusive negotiating window for the leagues existing partners, which is another way of saying it’s all about Fox right now.
