Both Amazon and ESPN have been open about only wanting tier 1 content. The rest of the deal, the "tonnage" is the issue

Looking at viewership numbers for top Pac-12 games, it makes sense.

I love "booty call hours" as a way to refer to the night game time slot.

Wish we could have been referring to pac 12 after dark as that all along

Pig's wrong in that Fox does not need Pac-12. That's the real issue. Too much competition now that the BIG

So much strong demand which is why they wrapped up a deal months ago.

Yes which is why they have a deal done, right?

Only Amazon wants tier 1. And they only want 1 a week. ESPN wants filler games

BYUtka

There have been no reports about ESPN wanting Tier 1, they want late night

Any reports without 🌹🌹🌹 before and after the "source"?

Well, yeah, that's the hold up right now. The Presidents are adamant about first tier content being linear

The PAC is really weak at the bottom, both in terms of schools and inventory.

Are you trying to tell me first, that you know the actual amount that nobody in the media knows, but then that

kimdaddy35

That doesn't mean ESPN wants tier one. They want inexpensive filler games.

If a credible source has said it, it should be easy to provide a link.

You mean Oregon who...has a strong incentive to jump ship to BIG?

You can't "corner" the West Coast market without USC/UCLA; and Fox has that...

Pig Bus calling Fox obtuse. And they wonder why everyone hates them.

Anyone using obtuse in a sports-related argument is dumb.

ochobeeguy

Obtuse, you might say. But I'm sure Pig Bus has better numbers...

How many other fanbases have to hate them before they are forced to wonder if

It appears many within the Ute fan base are on a mission. They won't stop until they have offended, err enlightened
