Not paying the PAC-12 basketball refs seems like the one Larry Scott idea we should all get behind.

Just google "Reddit ncaa basketball streams" then scroll down to the Arizona game and click on a link. I do Sling, but the free method is just as good.atlantakat wrote:Well it's finally personal for me. I have been on the road for a week, got home last night, fired up the old U-Verse to see the Cats and got static.
While not exactly a Luddite, I have ignored the pleas and advice on the board to those that could not get the Pac 12 network in their area and I did not find anything from a quick search other than subscribing to other pay solutions that cost about as much as basic cable.
Any quick solutions folks could share would be appreciated!
Agreed. If on a FireTV download Silk Browser and use that to navigate to the reddit streams.Longhorned wrote: Just google "Reddit ncaa basketball streams" then scroll down to the Arizona game and click on a link. I do Sling, but the free method is just as good.

I think Baillie Gibson would have something to say about.because there wasn't a lot of concern with what we had to say
The number of years we paid Butts for nothing doesn't look good either.concerned about the conference's expenses
You’ll laugh when he sells out our “not profitable” revenue stream for pennies on the dollar and then suddenly turns it around, privatizing our conference’s athletics profits.azcat49 wrote:Not profitable to our member schools and he wants to sell equity. Good luck with that. Non profits mixing with public for profit orgs, interesting

Most of this is coming from disgruntled Pac 12 employees from my understanding. Larry Scott doesn't have a large fan club.Newportcat wrote:I don’t know all the details of this deal but my gut tells me Oregon hates this idea and that’s why they leaked it to the Oregon writer. We candidly could really use the money but Oregon doesn’t and clear that school hates Larry Scott. They want to out Larry Scott ASAP which I am all for.
Candidly this was always Larry Scott’s plan in doing the PAC network. Instead of renting out our content like the SEC does we would own it so we could monetize it. It’s actually an interesting idea but clearly has not worked at all.

I have no idea what Bobby Robbins thinks of Larry Scott, but I can tell you from having met him, he is the exact opposite of what you are describing. He just went through a full comprehensive strategic plan at U of A where they met with literally all stakeholders on campus to think and discuss U of A's future.zonagrad wrote:Larry Scott is the Pac 12's version of former IOC President Juan Antonio Samaranch, who required media and anyone else addressing him to say, "his excellency."
Just like the IOC, Larry Scott has enriched himself while having very little to show for his efforts. It's confusing as hell why the 12 college presidents of this conference don't wake the hell up and fire him. Of course, those 12 presidents probably don't realize how bad Scott is because they're doing the same thing at their own schools, only on a smaller scale. They live in ivory towers and have no clue how pissed off their fan base and alumni are.
I am going to an event two weeks from today with President Robbins where he is discussing the future of U of A and then showing the Oregon vs Arizona basketball game live on an IMAX screen. Maybe that describes other PAC-12 University presidents but not ours.zonagrad wrote:Larry Scott is the Pac 12's version of former IOC President Juan Antonio Samaranch, who required media and anyone else addressing him to say, "his excellency."

Bingo.DrWildcat wrote:The perfect president for that school. This probably has more to do with not wanting to be wrong on Scott from the beginning than it has to do with him actually thinking the conference is well positioned.

Couldn’t cut it at the Ivy’s so he ran to ASU and lorded over the “new American university” since he got there.
ASU is ahead of Arizona in digital innovation and online education. What else? Do you have an issue with President Robbins? The new strategic plan? The provost search? The deans? Just trying to get a sense of your opinion about the leadership.legallykenny wrote:Huh??

He's going to turn ASU into a better school than Arizona sooner rather than later unless Arizona can develop better leadership of its own.
ASU has had huge growth in research funding and significantly improved recruitment of better students. I believe it now matches or exceeds Arizona's average entering ACT scores for example. The law school, which was historically a joke is now higher ranked and has higher entrance scores than Arizona. I'm sure there are other examples.Longhorned wrote:ASU is ahead of Arizona in digital innovation and online education. What else? Do you have an issue with President Robbins? The new strategic plan?

Yep. He used the "excuse" that GCU was for profit and took a moral highground on it. GCU is now non-profit again and he is too much of a bitch to schedule them now.

Crow is one of those people who loves thinking they are the greatest thing ever from what I have heard. And ASU was the perfect school for him because the bar was so so low and they let him act like a King.zonagrad wrote:What I do know about Crow is that he's afraid of Grand Canyon University and pussied out scheduling them.

Obviously the channel is in the lowest programmatic ad tier due to shit ratings. The direct buys are local (Tucson ads during UA games) because there isn’t a national footprint.Spaceman Spiff wrote:I'm watching P12 and there's a really high amount of commercials where Pat Boone pushes his book on the government's war on cash and how you need to buy gold.
I guess advertisers ain't lining up, so you have to go with crazy conspiracy theory books to snatch money from the elderly.
