Since Amazon doesn't use a TV channel, would that make it possible for Pac-12 to schedule games at reasonable hours?

Love this idea! We have Prime (not Apple TV) and so I would not have a problem picking up games. Right now here in Scottsdale, I use Hulu-TV, a streaming service, with great satisfaction. But Hulu (ie Disney) does not carry Pac-12 (but does Big 10) and so I am cut off from Beavers games much of the time. With Amazon, I would get all that I want. If ESPN wanted to buy rights to specific games, I am sure Amazon would negotiate. Selling rights to individual games has become a regular thing. From the Pac-12 perspective, this is a chance to set itself apart and be part of the "cool crowd". The younger generations around the world will love this and it will elevate the Pac-12 profile. Since Amazon and Apple are West Coast based companies, they also can take care of their employees and stakeholders in the process. Win-Win-Win... I sure hope this all works out and then I can get all my teams in one place.
