AT&T bought DirecTV and they've been getting rid of unprofitable or less profitable customers. AT&T burrowed heavily to pay for that deal and others. Cord cutting has hurt traditional providers like DTV.

To me all that makes the prospect of getting on DTV (as well as others) even more difficult. Without a "big fish" partner to help leverage a spot the P12N is stuck.

Again, good points and I don’t disagree with your viewpoint looking forward. We are where we are, and would be wise to make the best out of the reality of our situation as it currently stands. That likely does include bringing on some kind of a partner for the P12N. I just think we’d be insane to put trust in a guy to navigate such a complicated situation, when his leadership through the previously complicated situation got us to this point in the first place.

Using an analogy that hits closer to home: Larry Scott is the Mike Bohn of commissioners. He overthinks situations, and uses those complications in an attempt to justify marginal? performance/results. We need a Rick George. Someone that picks a target and does everything they can to hit said target. We need firm leadership.
 
So I got curious about where we were at over the lifetime of our rights deal relative to other deals by the P5. Rather than read all those PDF tax returns I wrote a program to extract the "support" payments in the tax xml file. Anyhow, the first year of the Pac12 was the 2013 tax return (2012 was the last year of the Pac10).
The Avg Dist column also includes bowls, tournaments or other monies that came to the conference and were delivered to the members as support payments.

While this will assuredly expand the amount of handwringing going on here, look to the positives; the other 4 P5s negotiated or renegotiated (expansion) their current deals AFTER ours. AND, given the amounts shown we will likely get a pretty big bump over what we got in 2012. Hopefully we avoid the 20+ year deals the ACC and SEC signed.

I'll try to keep this sheet updated.
