    The new-look Pac-12 unveiled the cornerstone piece of its media deal this week. Who are the other potential media players? How will this all come together? I learned some interesting things, particularly on the basketball front. Meanwhile, Pac-12 leaders have a full day of meetings in Washington, D.C. on Wednesday.

    This week’s mailbag includes questions about Pac-12 expansion options, the conference’s new TV deal with CBS, and a strategy to lure in Memphis/UNLV, the recent MLB to PDX stadium victory, and more.

    The Pac-12 has finalized a deal that positions CBS as the new-look conference’s cornerstone TV partner for five years beginning in 2026. CBS and Paramount+ will air the Pac-12 championship football and basketball games in the 2026-2031 seasons. A minimum of three football and basketball games each season will also appear on those two platforms. Additionally, the new Pac-12 will have “a consistent regular season presence” on CBS Sports Network in both football and men’s basketball, per a source.

    My Italian grandfather was a big Steelers fan. In the late 1970s, a few weeks after Pittsburgh’s 35-31 Super Bowl victory over the Dallas Cowboys, he summoned me to his kitchen to see something. It was a can of beer. Iron City Beer created a commemorative beer can in 1979, celebrating the third world championship for the NFL franchise. My grandfather rotated the can in his hands, showing me the team photo printed on its side. He pointed out Terry Bradshaw, Lynn Swann, and Franco Harris.

Terry Baker is the only person to win the Heisman Trophy and play (he started) in a Final Four. Does that feat ever get matched? https://t.co/qbDOlDrVke
