That deal was made possible because of the PAC12 Network added bargaining power to UCLA.
Secondly you are proving my point as you bemoan the Pacs current revenue. Like I said they are having to go alone on distribution and just like the BTN it will take time before they have the history and expertise to drive favorable negotiations with the providers. SECN didn't want to play that so they teamed up with ESPN which did our distribution contracts for us.
Being on the west cost does not hurt them. Being new and not partnering did but once they get over the hump they will own everything and the SEC wont.
