The Pac-12 conference is the last without a TV partner, and Apple TV+ is rumored to be a prime target amid lukewarm demand from other streamers.
According to a report from the New York Post, the Pac-12 conference is without a TV partner and is looking to Apple for a deal. Sources familiar with the matter state that the Pac-12 conference may be struggling to find a service to air its games on, as it has lost some high-profile teams to the Big Ten.
Neither Apple nor the Pac-12 commented on the story. However, it seems to be a win-win opportunity for both Apple and Pac-12, given the position both are in.
The Pac-12 is currently partnered with ESPN and Fox Sports through the end of next season, but it isn’t clear if those networks will renew their contracts. The Big 12 have already signed extensions with ESPN and Fox, for example.
