NYTimes report that Pac-12 has announced that it will have 7 conference channels in partnership with various distribution companies.Link at http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/28/sport ... nnels.html

Indeed. Ambitious to have a national network AND 6 regional networks. Can see it make a dent in current regional networks like Comcast, Fox, etc.

Thnaks freaked. Been hoping this one gets finalized. College hockey on more networks is a big plus. For those that haven't been to a live college hockey game, i recommend it...such a great atmosphere, especially for me, game in Boston with BC, BU, etc versus each other of with UNH or Maine in town.
