The 10 schools in the conference have pre-negotiated the grant of rights deal and agreed on the terms, including how the revenue would be split, which signifies a commitment to the conference -- at least tangentially. The length of the grant of rights will mirror the terms of the television contract. Leaders throughout college athletics have been paying close attention to the Pac-12 and waiting for months to see how -- if at all -- the new deal could further impact conference realignment. The biggest flight risk, according to sources, has been [URL='https://www.espn.com/college-football/team/_/id/38/colorado-buffaloes']Colorado[/URL], and it remains to be seen if the administration there has the patience to wait for the new deal before making a major decision that could have a tidal wave of effects. The uncertainty in the Pac-12 has been magnified by the Big 12's unabashed interest in the possibility of further conference expansion and its six-year, $2.2 billion dollar television deal with ESPN and FOX that runs through 2031.[/I] [/QUOTE]
