Here’s some more from Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott, who unleashed a barrage on DirecTV today, after the satellite carrier rejected a Pac-12 offer last week.
“Unfortunately, it’s become clear they don’t intend to carry the networks this year,” Scott said. “With a month to go before launching of the football season, we want our fans to know they’ve got ample opportunities with other distributors to carry the networks.”
I feel compelled to mention here that DirecTV added 21,000 U.S. customers in the first quarter of this year, which was better than the 10,000 estimated.
