Pac-12 Conference to add in-game features to football broadcasts

Better late than never? Maybe … but not for USC and UCLA. The Pac-12 Connference announced that it will be adding various in-game components and features to its football broadcasts. More access to coaches and players is the general overall theme and priority attached to this development. The Pac-12 obviously wants to make its television product more interesting and compelling, part of the push to increase the value of its inventory to potential media rights partners.

One is left to wonder if this move would have made USC and UCLA stop and reconsider the decision to leave for the Big Ten if it had been approved in 2017 or 2018, not this year. Could the Pac-12, under Larry Scott, have done things to head off a potential USC exit? People will debate this, but the questions will linger.

Let’s look at the specific things the Pac-12 will do in football:
