It seemed like a great idea at the time. The Pac-12 was launching its own TV network, joining, at the time, the Big Ten atop the conference marketability ladder. We were going to be able to see live Pac-12 events all the time, year-round.
We were wrong.
Nevermind the financial downfalls of the Pac-12 Network, and the constant frustration of DirecTV customers about the conference's inability to work out a distribution plan with them. That's just part of the story. But I'm here to talk about how the Pac-12 has let their fans down.
