PAC-12 Expects Media Rights Deal By April

It looks like the finish line is in sight for the Pac-12 to reach an agreement on a new media rights deal.

Jon Wilner of the San Jose Mercury News writes that the conference should have a deal together in some fashion by the beginning of April.

Wilner wrote that ESPN, Apple and Amazon are interested in a partnership. Making a deal with the tech giants seemed to be well-received by conference presidents, who see the value in streaming. It’s possible both companies could get a piece of the Pac-12 pie.

Schools are expected to receive anywhere from $28.5 million to $34.9 million each year under the new deal.
