The Pac-12 is expected to "present its media-rights deal to the remaining nine schools in the next couple of days." This comes as the conference looks to "hold its nine remaining schools together, land a satisfactory media-rights deal, and add a school or two via expansion." The conference is "negotiating from a weakened position" after seeing USC, UCLA and Colorado exit. The conference "hasn’t been tactically sound, maneuvered too slow, asked too much of its members, and is in an uncomfortable position because of it." The Big 12 "would love to capture" the Univ. of Arizona, but President Robert Robbins has "assured fellow members of the Pac-12 CEO Group that Arizona will wait to see the conference’s media-rights numbers before making any decisions." A Pac-12 CEO Group member said “expansion will come into play immediately after the media-rights deal.” That timeline suggests the conference is "including media companies in the expansion equation" (JOHNCANZANO.com, 7/31).
