College football insiders: Pac-12 meeting Friday morning to sign Grant of Rights for new media deal

A positive update regarding conference realignment and the Pac-12 hasn’t come in some time. However, one does seem as though it’s finally coming down the pipe for the league.

Per Ross Dellenger at Yahoo Sports, the Pac-12 will meet together this morning to sign the conference’s grant of rights. With all presidents expected to be in attendance, this deal, alongside Apple, could bring any further movement to a halt.

“Multiples sources tell Dan Wetzel and me that the tides are turning: The Pac-12 meeting this morning to sign a Grant of Rights, which Yahoo Sports reported last night, remains on schedule & expectation is all presidents will show,” wrote Dellenger on Twitter.

This is a significant update from where the Pac-12 found itself just last night. With Colorado leaving last week, approval for the Big to also snatch up Arizona felt like a major domino to fall. That was especially so when you add in the rumors swirling around other schools like Oregon and Washington.

Even so, signatures on this grant of rights could be the cure that they’ve needed. With their teams locked in, begrudgingly or not, to the deal and with Apple, the Pac-12 would feel a sense of stability that they haven’t had in some time and certainly not in the last week.
