The Pac-12 Board of Directors gave clearance to start negotiating future media rights. This news came less than one week after USC and UCLA announced plans to leave the Pac-12 for the Big Ten in 2024. With the Pac-12’s future in question, the Board of Directors focused on securing a new media rights deal.
