The Pac-12 has been trying to make a deal with DirecTV for years, but that's even more unlikely to happen now, with AT&T deciding that its U-verse cable lineup will no longer carry the Pac-12 Networks.
The Pac-12 announced a gut-punch today that was months in the making:
AT&T will no longer carry the Pac-12 Networks on its U-verse service, effective Sunday.
Yep, the conference’s wholly-owned networks have been dropped by a distribution partner that just happens to be one of the largest telecommunications brands in the world.
Not. Good. At. All.
