What ESPN offered the PAC12 was a chance to make money with PAC12 network.


The offer was contingent to the PAC12 going "all in" with ESPN for a serious period of time (15-20) years with all of their product. ESPN doesn't want to own the issues associated with PAC12 Networks while PAC12 can go off and bid the "good stuff" to someone else. But ESPN would have helped them make PAC12 Networks a success.

Right now the PAC12 has a struggling network and only a promise from Larry Scott that a pot of gold is over the rainbow. He turned down that ESPN offer because it wasn't his pot of gold.
