Apple, Amazon, etc. so ESPN already isn't wanting the PAC in its entirety.
Does this mean the Big12 only has the ability to add 2 teams? 4 teams? I realize that the Big12 is with ESPN and Fox, so the 'burden' isn't entirely on ESPN, but if there are limited slots it seems this could be a limitation on Big12 expansion. ...and ESPN could be low balling the PAC if it only wants x# of schools from the PAC footprint that could easily be rolled into the Big 12 contract.
This is an interesting game of chess amongst all the players.
