Canzano: Monday Mailbag deals with Pac-12 plan, Big Ten to Las Vegas, Cooper Flagg, Trail Blazers, and more
Your questions. My answers.
This week’s mailbag included questions about the Pac-12’s media rights deal, the latest information on the expansion front, and a reader who wanted to know what’s new with mediation with the Mountain West.
Which side gains more leverage as the clock ticks?
Is the Big Ten about to plant a foot into Las Vegas?
Is getting Cooper Flagg still a slim possibility for the Trail Blazers? Has NIL killed the college mid-majors? And why is a college football game worth more to media companies than a college basketball game?
Readers also asked about stadium food, sports movies, and why we never hear about college athletes being academically ineligible anymore.
Thanks to all who submitted questions.
