What is your source? Do we know this as 100% fact? I'm not so sure. Plus in Business, which is what this is all about, Big Business, there is no actual agreement until it is signed. I HATE that the conference has imploded. It is very sad and hard for me to accept. I also feel bad for Oregon State and Washington State. I hope they can find a good solution going forward. I just completely disagree that the Ducks are the main ones to blame and that the Apple deal was actually okay for the future of the schools. It was a business decision. Recruiting is the life blood of every program. Limited exposure with a lousy Apple deal would have killed recruiting. It's all a shame, but I can't blame the Ducks for making the business choice they did.
The Apple deal would have been a complete disaster. Worse yet, not one network was even interested in trying to shoehorn in even a couple of the Pac games on linear TV to go along with Apple. That's just how bad the networks viewed the Pac product at that point.

Well put, honestly.
