Pac 12 to Launch Pac 12 Network Next Year


All Pac 12 football games will be playing on national TV starting next year. This could really help with recruiting because out of state kids want their parents to be able to see all of their games. Oregon Ducks' head coach, Chip Kelly, was more than excited about the news:

"Instead of saying, 'As long as we're playing well, we're on TV,' it's a guarantee now that every game is available."

There will be a national channel of the Pac 12 network accompanied by six regional channels. The six regional channels will be Oregon, Washington, Northern California, Southern California, Arizona, and Mountain.

The conference already has a 12 year contract with ESPN and Fox to air the high profile games nationally.
