Apple could pay in order to keep the PAC together. Just looked into Apple TV to watch Ted Lasso and it did not seem like they had a lot of content. Noticed MLS.

There's some decent stuff on there, but it wasn't enough to keep me interested in it. I may turn it back on and binge the second season Ted Lasso and see what else is available.

For what it's worth, the Tom Hanks movie Greyhound is a good watch. Likewise CODA was a decent movie.

Just because you have money doesn't mean you have to spend it (I cannot tell you how many times I said this exact thing to my ex-wife).

Companies that do well normally are very deliberate with how they spend their money. Apple may well become a player in this but I doubt it will be because they have money to spend and see college sports as a shiny new toy.

I doubt their goal would be to keep the PAC together unless there is a larger plan down the road.

Oh, I agree. And why would the PAC be believing that Apple is going to purchase ESPN in three years? I doubt that Apple is telling them that.

Unless Apple announced that their intentions publicly , it would potentially be illegal if anyone privy to the conversation then used it to buy Disney stock. Yet the information finds its way to Big 12 Mafia.

Yep, sounds like nonsense.

Sitting here wishing people would throw spaghetti against the wall to see if it will stick, rather than the other material that happens on a daily basis in order to get clicks and views. Sigh.

Apple TV is definitely worth at least a month's subscription. IMHO, they're killing it at the moment with stuff I like. I went in due to some Pirates games and was going to cancel immediately, but decided to watch Ted Lasso, then stayed around for Shrinking and Severance. Now into Silo and Crowded Room. Slow Horses will be next.

The service I really have no use for is Peacock. Not that that has anything to do with the Pac12.

And MLS costs extra.

...and the service sucks. Commentary pregame show is painful to watch. Went through the second level authentication BS twice with new phone number- what a scheisen show. That's necessary to watch a soccer game? Absurd. Really wanted to support and get into MLS, but cancelled 3 weeks into this season and asked for a refund. Nice work Apple. If the PAC is dependent on Apple for survival good luck with that.
 
SWIAM...dude is backstepping after weeks of trash talk and hearing about the 3 year hold over PAC12 deal worth as much as BIG12.... interesting...

I've said this multiple times before, but will say it again more emphatically. I know Yormark wants the PST, but I'd really rather wait for the #ACC. Maybe two #Pac12 teams, but please no more than that. Besides, you'll be able to get them later for pennies on the dollar!!

If none of the #Pac12 teams leave, that is obviously a good deal for them now, but even they know the clock is ticking on the next TV deal already and if the #Ducks and #UDub get a #B1G invite (and they will), we'll be talking again unless the #ACC ends before then!! #MoreFun

Man I remember Aresco pretty much giving us a big ephu when we left. I guess he's used to it now.

In any event Aresco should be remembered as the man who took a seven-figure paycheck and ran the conference into the ground. Some will say no one could've done better and while that may or may not be true it's hard to imagine someone doing significantly worse.

He gave away the best branding asset he had, the Big East name, and blue the dust off of the old CUSA game plan and rammed with it. It should've been no surprise that what he ended up with was a replication of CUSA. Leaving that conference was one of the best things conference realignment moves we have made.

Selling the BE name was an all time Blunder, but when all the schools getting called up to the P5 are from his league, he was onto something. He has AAC games on ABC. Any other G5 getting spots like that? It was always destined to fail because every school was looking to get called up. That was created when rhy went to BCS/non BCS then P5/G5. That honestly should not be allowed.
 
We hate Aresco because we care about basketball. Which is why we’re still in the conference wilderness. Aresco wanted to push football as far as he could and ditching the name was part of it? And guess what? His strategy has worked damn well for all of the members who agree that it’s football first and second. Five are now P-5 and some, like Tulane and Navy, have had good years where they got more respect than they would have in other conferences.

It failed for us because we’re the only football member that wouldn’t have sold our basketball soul for football but wanted both,
