I am very late to the conversation on this, but I had to count the subscribers for all the ATT providers to see where things line up. I knew there would be some shakeup when ATT bought DirecTV, and more still when they complete the upcoming merger with Time-Warner.
Add to those numbers the fact that ATT mobile phone subscribers (nearly all 145M+ of them) have free streaming of network content on their phones, and suddenly the situation is more dire. Half the population of the country COULD be watching our games, but don’t have easy access.
On top of that, there is no option to buy direct streaming access from the network. That simply has to change.
Larry Scott is paid more than every coach in the league (by far the highest-paid league CEO in the country), and the PAC-12 headquarters in the high-end district in San Fran is just way too damn expensive ($45M+ operating budget, including $7M for the league office real estate lease).
Get new leadership, move the league offices to somewhere far cheaper (e.g. Vegas), move the CCG to a friggin Saturday evening, get better bowl tie-ins, etc. So many new improvements are needed!
