It's apparently still a proposed deal, from what I posted.
I'm thinking the remaining membership will not even approve it. Do USC, Colorado, and UCLA still get a vote?

Membership:
  • USC, probably doesn't get a vote
  • UCLA, same as USC
  • Colorado, same as the LA schools
  • Arizona, a no vote because they are planning to leave
  • Utah, a no planning to leave
  • Arizona State, a no planning to leave
  • Stanford, a no because they are hoping for a B1G invite and if that doesn't come they can probably beat this elsewhere
  • Washington, a no because they are hoping for a B1G invite and if that doesn't come they can probably beat this elsewhere
  • Oregon, a no because they are hoping for a B1G invite and if that doesn't come they can probably beat this elsewhere
  • California, who knows
  • Washington State, a yes because they don't have options
  • Oregon State, a yes because they don't have options
I've got:
  • Six no
  • Two yes
  • One unknown
  • Three that may or may not be able to vote

lmao. no one- and I mean absolutetly no one is going to subscribe to Apple TV+ just to watch Pac football. Apple TV+ has been a failure with dogshit content and barely 25 million subscribers. Netflix & Amazon Prime in comparison have basically 10x the subscribers and Disney+ has 7x. This is nothing but a grasping of straws by a company with way too much cash that is beyond desperate to break into streaming and a conference that is desperate and on life support.

Agree that nobody (i.e. some people but WAY low numbers) is going to subscribe purely for PAC football content, especially as the conference is flat out dying and everyone's trying to leave. 

However, some of the content they have had is pretty good. Ted Lasso was REALLY good. The Morning Show was very well done--although with the way season 2 ended I worry it will jump the shark in season 3. They did the miniseries version of the book, The Last Thing He Told Me, which was a very good read and the adaptation was excellent. And they have a newer show called Shrinking with Jason Segal and Harrison Ford that I've really been enjoying.

c'mon down to the B1G FSU & Miami! Add those two to lock down Florida, then go grab Stanford to get into NorCal and lock down California, and then get UNC and call it fkn day. That's a dream scenario for the B1G imo plus you get to tell ND to go fk off. B1G already killed the PAC by poaching the LA schools, they take FSU, Miami, (already took Maryland), and UNC they'll kill the ACC and then ND will be stuck with nothing but a bunch of crap options lol.

The PAC deal with Apple TV would be annual, so year 2 would easily have fewer buys than year 1.  
It's a shit sandwich.
Their commissioner should be tarred and feathered, except as a whole, on the average, west coasters don't give a shit about college football.
Proud programs, some die-hard fans, of course, but it is night-and-day different between Tempe, AZ and Gainesville, FL or Palo Alto, CA and Madison, WI.

Memorial Day, August, whatever.  You're getting another UW and a duck on a motorcycle.
