The Pac-12’s media day is Friday, but there will be a looming cloud over the festivities.
The league won’t have a new TV deal set to announce, according to Yahoo Sports’ Ross Dellenger, meaning conference realignment talks are likely to see an uptick this weekend.
Fighting for its survival, the Big 12 jumped the Pac-12 in line at the negotiating table, with reports of the Big 12’s new TV deal surfacing back in October. With USC and UCLA exiting the Pac-12 for the Big Ten, the Pac-12 has been unable to secure a new media rights deal to this point.
