Another day, another bit of Pac-12 media rights news. Let’s review: As Jeff noted on Wednesday, Apple TV+ is rumored to be in the hunt for the Pac-12’s media rights. That would definitely be ground breaking, and I have no idea if it will help or hurt the conference. That news came after the Pac-12 presidents had to release a statement basically saying, “Hey, everyone chill.”
Yesterday, Stadium’s Brett McMurphy reported that ION Television “has emerged as a potential Pac-12 partner.”
Apple still has not made formal offer for Pac-12’s media rights, but ION television has emerged as a potential Pac-12 partner, sources told @ActionNetworkHQ.
