Despite months of carnage and issues, it does appear the conference is closing in on a new media deal. What will that deal look like? That remains to be seen.
However, it will apparently pay at least $31.7 million to conference members, which is the Big 12’s deal. Robbins told The Athletic the final amount will be “better” than what the PAC-12 received. Did he offer any proof for that claim? Nope. He just made it and rolled with it.

Fred Couples being the level-headed legend he is doesn’t have a problem with LIV Golf, but he does have a problem with the players who have joined the Saudi-backed golf league spewing generic taglines while also bashing the PGA Tour.
