ESPN going broke is why the Pac-12 went down. 10 years ago when ESPN had money to burn, they would have given the Pac what they wanted. They no longer had the money to pay them a competitive rate and the other networks had no place for them as they already had the content they needed.

That's not even close to being accurate. The Pac12 wanted SEC type money because USC and UCLA wanted more money. ESPN doesn't own the Pac12 network, so why would they pay that much to distribute their content, that would be stupid.

BTW the Pac12 deal was split between ESPN and Fox. Fox didn't step up and pay 50 million a school either. Are they broke or just smart?
