All of this angst toward the idea of having pods. Maybe it's just the terminology that bothers people. Call them cobs, more fitting for the corn belt, of course if we get Utah, then tubers?

Streaming is all about demand, period.
The Pac's media package proposal will require an add-on Apple subscription. In other words, PAC fans will have to pay $7/month for Apple TV access, plus whatever the Pac subscription fee is.
Judging by how bad their in-person game attendance is, I'd say it will be darn near impossible for them to achieve any significant escalator benchmarks.

There is going to be a ton of anti-trust hurdles to work through for Apple to buy ANY part of Disney.
Within a pod.
You play 6 games against your division, 2 against your pod and 1 against your protected rival. Always in the same order, always at the same location.
You never see the other 4 schools at all. It's perfect.
University types ain't known for common sense.
IMO the only thing that could have kept college football "like-the-good-old-days" was have all P5 schools under a single media rights deal back around 2000-2010.
Once the money gap between conferences grew, schools were going to follow the money to the Big10/SEC.
Wait, what? There's TWO(2) truck-stops IN Salt Lake City. UU, COME ON DOWN!

If it's like the MLS package, it would also be available standalone. MLS is $15 a month standalone vs $13 a month on top of Apple TV+. But you are correct about the escalators. It will be more like a moving sidewalk.
That was awesome. 30 seconds to come to order, vote to go dark and end without any further public comment.
The possibility of what you suggest went out the window in the 1980s when Oklahoma successfully sued the NCAA to gain separate media negotiation rights for the individual conferences. In other words, yes - OU kicked off this **** show 40 years ago.
Makes you wonder though. If this were really about the agenda item, compensation for the president or whatever it was, would they have gone dark? So we at least know that they are discussing it and it may just be Arizona informing ASU of their intentions formally. Perhaps we even see resolution tonight or a request to join.
Go bold, swap BYU and Baylor for ASU, AZ, Wash, and Oregon.
The worst part about all this, is that when the SEC goes to 20 there's a greater than zero chance that Utah gets a bid.
