This would help with media rights negotiations, but like everything to this point, it is unclear exactly who is doing what and how seriously. One interesting thought produced by John Canzano, is for Oregon and Phil Knight (founder of Nike) to pledge funding the Pac-12 in an attempt to lure some of the better Big XII schools to join the conference instead of the other way around. However, with reports and rumors of schools already exploring their options, it seems like a long shot for the Pac-12 to survive.

What good that fight will ultimately do remains to be seen and is very dependent on the remaining ten schools staying firm with the Pac-12. Whatever the case, it appears Commissioner Kliavkoff is not giving up without a fight. There has also been strong speculation that Oregon and Washington have applied for Big Ten membership, though conflicting reports as to whether there is any interest there or not from the conference. This news from the Pac-12 is interesting since it was reported Sunday evening by Jason Scheer of Wildcat Authority that Utah, Arizona, Colorado and Arizona State would be meeting Tuesday morning with the Big XII to discuss joining the conference. Other bidders can then weigh in after that if a deal isn't done.ĭodd also reports that if no agreement has been reached in 30 days that the bidding will open up elsewhere.

Indications are the Pac-12 will begin an exclusive 30-day negotiation window with ESPN and Fox.
