Given the league just inked a new contract agreeing to provide a certain number of games to broadcast partners, I don’t think the conversation was about decreasing conference games.
I think the B1G wants to go to 10 conference games so it can generate enough content to bring in an Amazon. Keep in mind Amazon has UW ties so don’t be surprised if they are ignoring George’s call. When Kliavkoff says they are in no hurry to sign a deal that means nobody is talking to him. Basically, Amazon thinks the PAC alone is a losing proposition.
