The rumor mill has Larry Scott working with Turner Sports for the next deal
Turner Sports hasn't ventured much into college sports other than the NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament. They primarily have their NBA contract.
This could potentially work for the PAC12 because what they need is more football games on Saturday during the afternoon and early evening. ESPN/ABC, CBS, and NBC are all booked up for those time slots. TBS/TNT are wide open. Just don't know how much Turner Sports would pay. And the PAC12 shouldn't give up its late night game on ESPN IMO.
This idea of the venture capital cash infusion has never looked like a long term winner to me. But they say there are offers on the table. Don't know if they are good offers or not.
