But if the PAC is announcing interest now it isn't accidental. But then neither was the Big 12's refusal to expand.

I wouldn't call it smoke, but it is a spark in a very dry environment.

Larry Scott said he sees all content being broadcasted on the PAC Network preferably and sold to other networks if need be. He has the same ideal goal as Delaney but seems realistic as to what his financial options will be due to the carriage of its Network.

Major TV contacts end for the PAC, Big Ten and Big 12 at about the same time. If a more profitable model appears or survival mode kicks in, those schools will be in best position to act at that time.

The SEC / CBS contract is up before any of them. It might provide us the opportunity to act early. We'll see.
