Colorado and Utah will join the Arizona and Los Angeles schools — Southern California and UCLA — in a South Division, with the Bay Area schools joining the Oregon and Washington schools in a North Division. The Pac-12 men's basketball TV contract is probably not going to be as highly scrutinized as the Pac-12 football deal, but the developments are just as positive for hoops fans. Here are the bullet point details of the article •Fox Sports Net will transfer the majority of their basketball telecasts over to ESPN, with 46 in all to be broadcast on ESPN/ESPN2/ESPNU. This means more national telecasts for the conference •The Thursday/Saturday schedule is no longer set. There will be Wednesday and Sunday games as well to spread out the places, presumably for more national broadcasts. •The remaining games on regular cable will be shown on FSN networks. I'm not certain if they will be national telecasts, but I'd imagine Commissioner Scott will insist on the majority of these being carried throughout the country rather than regionally. •The remainder of the games will be on the Pac-12 television and digital networks. All of them. So in some way and some fashion, every game will be available to Pac-12 fans next year. •The Pac-12 Tournament will split between FOX/FX and ESPN/ESPN2, with FX broadcasting one quarterfinal bracket and a semifinal, and ESPN/ESPN2 taking care of another. The championship game will alternate on a yearly basis between ESPN & FOX. The Pac-12 will hold its annual men's and women's basketball tournaments in Los Angeles next March, but the conference is seeking bids beyond 2012 and local organizers hope to lure the four-day event to Seattle. http://www.californiagoldenblogs.co...v-television-deal-fox-fsn-fx-espn-espn2-espnu
