The dead smack middle of July looms and the Pac-12 remains without a media rights deal and any announcement on expansion.
There are no current “hard deadlines” for the Pac and commissioner George Kliavkoff, but there are two upcoming dates to follow in this never-ending saga.
On today’s episode of Locked On Pac-12, I discuss that and a massive commitment in the 2024 recruiting cycle for the Arizona Wildcats.
The ramifications of landing 5-star EDGE Elijah Rushing are notable, and all positive, for Jedd Fisch and his staff as they seek to build a contender in Tuscon.
I also lay out why the Pac-12 has little hope of being able to make any realignment moves that would change the desirability of the league for Oregon and Washington.
Plus, a discussion on how the media rights negotiations play out and who is involved with such talks.
