The situation surrounding the PAC-12 continues to sound incredibly grim.
The conference continues to attempt to land a new media deal, but to call it a disaster thus far would be the understatement of the year.
Not only does the PAC-12 not have a new media deal, but no major network or streaming service seems interested in playing ball. Without a new deal, the conference is 100% going to collapse, and former Oregon coach and AD Mike Bellotti can see it unfolding with his own eyes.

Shohei Ohtani (+200) is the favorite to win AL MVP at SI Sportsbook.
Ohtani is the rightful favorite to take home his second MVP award in 2023. The league’s only two-way player pitched to a 2.33 ERA (sixth in MLB) with 15 wins (T-4th) while also smashing 34 home runs (T-8th) and batting .270 in 2022. That’s awfully hard to top. It took Aaron Judge (+500) 62 home runs and putting the Yankees on his back to make it to the postseason to edge out Ohtani in 2022.

Will anyone be able to break the record set by John Ross?
With the NFL Combine taking place this week, and on-field drills beginning on Thursday, all eyes will be on a specific area of the field. 40 yards of field, to be exact.
The 40 yard dash draws all the attention at the NFL Combine, and this year will be no different. Those blades of grass between the 40 and the goal line could end up making or breaking an NFL Draft stock (whether it’s correct or not is the bigger question).

Legendary college football coach Urban Meyer thinks money in college sports has gone too far.
