You’ve taken hits regarding the Pac-12 Network, and a lot of people say it hasn’t met expectations. The value of premium college sports continues to increase, and I think it’s validated the initial strategy. The challenges, of course, have been that while we had the biggest TV contract in college sports in 2012, other conferences have since had a chance to redo their deals. Our time is coming in 2024, and I’m highly confident the conference is going to see a massive increase in its TV rights. Keep in mind revenues for the Pac-12 increased five times over my tenure, as well as the equity value in the network.
