As such, the conference is looking at potential television deals centered around streaming, with the latest report hinting strongly at a potential partnership with Apple TV+.
ESPN college football analyst Paul Finebaum says if the Pac-12 pulls the trigger on a streaming deal for their new media rights contract, then “it’s over” for the conference.

Call it a culture shock or a culture change. Both phrases have been used by Cardinals players lately to describe what new coach Jonathan Gannon and GM Monti Ossenfort have done since taking over in Arizona earlier this year.
But culture shift is probably the appropriate phrase for this story, because Gannon didn’t waste a second jumping into the stadium cart that was parked behind me on the floor level of State Farm Stadium in Glendale, Ariz., the location of my second stop for my nine-team training camp tour.
There is no such thing as the perfect fantasy football draft and mistakes will happen, but let us help you prepare on how not to fall into some of the same traps.
