Message: [QUOTE="Figurehead, post: 4413420, member: 9631"] Pac-12's turn: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.johncanzano.com/p/canzano-big-12-beats-pac-12-to-finish[/URL] [I].......The Big 12’s average per-school annual payout: $31.6 million. “We are very confident to beat that number,” a Pac-12 source told me Sunday. The Pac-12 is still negotiating. The original projections from industry sources placed the annual payouts in the range of $27 million to $29 million for the 10 remaining members. That would have put the Pac-12 Conference 10-15 percent below the Big 12. [B]But that was before Amazon and Apple waded into the fray.[/B] Amazon and Apple want to be in the college live-sports programming space but neither has the infrastructure to produce games. Amazon uses the NFL Network for the Thursday Night Football production. The Pac-12 Networks already handles production of 36 football games. [B]Maybe we should wait to see what happens, but it feels like the Pac-12 could land somewhere in the neighborhood of $32-34 million per school.[/B][/I] [/QUOTE]
