The person discussed the meeting with AP on the condition of anonymity because the Pac-12 is not making its internal discussion public, and gave no details about prospective network or streaming partners nor the value. ESPN reported the deal would make Apple’s online streaming service, Apple TV+, the primary home of Pac-12 football games, and the total value would be dependent on the number of subscriptions purchased.
Apple has dived into sports rights in recent years, but based on its existing deals with MLB and MLS, Apple does not produce the games, which leaves the Pac-12 and its schools with the production cost and could impact bottom-line numbers for the schools. Wildcats football coach Jedd Fisch told reporters Tuesday he has been meeting with parents of players to assure them Arizona’s future will be secure.
The Big 12 agreed last fall to a six-year extension on its media rights deal with ESPN and Fox that will pay each school about $32 million per year. That deal has not been officially announced, but it set a measuring stick for the Pac-12 in its pursuit of an agreement many hope will keep the league together for at least another five or six years.
Oregon and Washington are the Pac-12’s most notable remaining brands. After the Big Ten added USC and UCLA there was speculation the Ducks and Huskies could be next, though new Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti has tried to tamp down talk of further expansion.
