To be clear, there are two aspects of recent statements that are directly contradicted by information in the article.
1) AZ President claimed the Pac 12 was confident it could beat the Big 12's per school number. The article reports on a potential deal from Apple worth $300m which would match, not exceed the Big 12's payout.
2) Both AZ and ASU's presidents reported that a deal with greater than 50% streaming was not being considered. A deal with apple would be 100% streaming, so clearly that is a contradition.
BL - no one knows for sure, not the University Presidents or NYPost reporters. But the limited information that the reporters has is pushing back against the limited information the Presidents have.
