The new media deal is now expected to arrive sometime in "late Spring or early Summer" according to Stewart Mandel. The Pac-12 is sending a clear message on that front that is, frankly, right on brand. Plus, rumors have popped up again of a different cable network partner being involved--the CW.
On today's episode of Locked On Pac-12, Spencer McLaughlin reacts to the latest news on the media rights timeline again being delayed. It doesn't change the desire for Pac-12 Presidents to stay together rather than look at the Big 12.
The Pac-12 should expand, with San Diego State and SMU as its top 2 options, in conjunction with getting its new media deal. The delay on completing the deal us unlikely to mean expansion teams would get announced sooner given one critical date.
