F Larry Scott.
Are we really still not getting it? Larry had zero to do with this. My goodness why does everyone think that everyone is out to get Arizona?
Not taking sides but believe it or not the conference actually has a guy who's job is all about communicating with the networks in regards to start times. Not just for football but for all sports. From what I've been told, quite a bit of communication is involved between the schools and the conference and specifically when it involves the Pac 12 network. I'm sure the conference doesn't think Arizona is getting jobbed but on the surface it certainly looks like Arizona is getting the short end of the stick.
