Arizona president talks keeping Pac-12 together, TV deal expectations, deadlines, Big 12 interest and more[/b]
Robert Robbins is a man with an open mind. Arizona's president wants it known that he believes a new TV rights deal acceptable to everyone in the Pac-12 will be completed in a couple of weeks.
"I think it's very high," Robbins said of the prospects of doing that deal. "Let's just say more than 95% confidence limits on this."
But as they in the business world, the entire enterprise is a "soft circle." In other words, there is interest from Pac-12 schools in doing a deal if the money is right.
"A number don't mean anything until it's a written contract," Robbins told CBS Sports. "In Mississippi, they would say, 'They're about to fixin' to give me something.' They haven't quite done it yet. We have to get a real in-writing offer."[/i]
