Jon Wilner's Pac-12 Hotline mailbag: Is it possible ASU stays in the Pac-12 if Arizona bolts for the Big 12?
Jon Wilner Bay Area News Group Editor's note: Some questions have been edited for clarity and brevity.
Those 35 likely will be included in whatever deal the conference signs this spring with its new broadcast partners. The Pac-12 Networks are going away, at least as a self-sustained media production and distribution company. Wilner: I'm not sure the big boosters will care as much about the valuation as the visibility. Diehard fans want to see the games, and they want to know the kickoff times in advance.
Do you expect the exit fee in the new grant-of-rights to be similar to those in place for ACC and Big 12? Oregon and Washington may be hesitant to sign one that has steep penalties. — @Pac12FanFeed Wilner: Theoretically, yes. There's probably a deal available for an eight-team conference, given the West Coast media markets involved. And the College Football Playoff selection process would recognize the champion. • Game inventory. With eight teams, the remaining schools would need to play five non-conference games at a time when supply is dwindling, not increasing.
Wilner: I think it has everything to do with positioning Fresno State as an attractive candidate for the Power Five, either in the next few years or the next decade.
