"Pac-12 Football Media Day: Financial Struggles, Expansion Rumors, and the Search for Media Rights Salvation"

The Pac-12 heads to Las Vegas for media day, with key questions surrounding the conference's media deal, the final year for USC and UCLA, the potential contenders to unseat Utah, the second-best quarterback in the conference, and Deion Sanders' roster rebuild at Colorado. The Pac-12 is still awaiting a new media deal, raising pressure on commissioner George Kliavkoff. USC and UCLA's departure to the Big Ten feels anticlimactic, but the impact on the other schools remains unclear. Utah is the reigning champion, but contenders like USC, Oregon, and even Oregon State could challenge them. Caleb Williams and Michael Penix Jr. are considered the top quarterbacks in the conference. Deion Sanders' rebuild at Colorado will be closely watched, but a tough schedule may hinder immediate success.
