The deal will not be announced at Pac-12 football media day on Friday in Las Vegas, the source told ESPN. It is likely to include a mix of streaming and linear options and is expected to be on-par with the ACC and Big 12, the source said.
"Our 10 schools have been ridiculously patient," the source said, adding that the league's patience to make a deal has led to more bidders coming to the table. "That patience is about to pay off."

Less is more! Now if you got down to, say, a PAC-4, you'd really be cookin' with gas! Lol. Seriously, how'd we go from 10 to 16? How 'bout you just go back to being what you wuz a year and a half ago, the PAC-12! I'm guessing Coach Prime there in Boulder is not impressed with this La-La Land new math.
