Because it actually is a brilliant idea if it had demand...
PAC 12 wouldn't have to share any of the profit.
SEC has to share money with ESPN
B1G with FOX.

Problem is that the media companies do not like it and have targeted it since Day 1.
Stanford was way too arrogrant about expansion as well as the network.

Larry Scott won't go anywhere unless Stanford says so.
They have complete control of the PAC 12. None of those schools are leaving.

Lol what isn’t. Their job was to gauge if there was demand and they did so poorly.

Forcing carriers to take on 6 regional networks along with the national P12N was NEVER a good idea. They will NEVER have the content needed to make the regional nets viable.

Regional sports nets that carry pro teams have enough trouble staying viable as it is. The SECN and BTN struggle to provide enough content and they both have 14 schools to work with. Regional sports nets that carry nothing but two college teams are completely useless b/c they rarely ever have live content that differs from the national network.

They aren't getting football and basketball games you can't see anywhere else. The barely even get the smaller Olympic sports as live content. Almost everything on the regional nets is either a simulcast from the national P12N or a replay/rerun of something that already aired on P12N.

Trying to force 7 networks on tv providers is the #1 reason P12N isn't on DTV or AT&T.
