I haven't seen them mentioned yet but I think TNT and/or TBS could be a wild card in our conference TV negotiations. They recently teamed up with CBS (and our commissioner) on a multi-billion dollar NCAA basketball tournament contract. Seeing what our negotiators did with the PAC 12 (pairing up ESPN and FOX) I think it's fair to assume partnering networks up is a great possibility. The more at the table the better...and greater chances to get creative. Thoughts?

Yep, it's a possibility, really anything is possible. The new commish has pretty much said he wants the BE on as many platforms as possible.

Whatever it takes, more partners means more leverage and possibilities. Still would like to retain tier 3 rights.

I called Direct TV today and told they will announce the verdict on offering Pac 12 Network on Aug. 29. A little late in the game for my taste but so be it. Rep did not know if was going to be an additional tier. Think I may be headed for McGregors.

I'm fine with pretty much anybody besides CBS. As much as anything the MWC's deal with those yahoos is what killed that conference.

I can't believe everybody is sleeping on the WE network.
