Those late-night Pac-12 football contests that stretch to midnight aren't going away but they're getting reduced, the conference announced Wednesday.
The Pac-12 CEO Group – made up of the conference's presidents and chancellors – approved a recommendation from the Pac-12 Council to modify the conference's television agreements with ESPN and FOX to reduce the Pac-12 football games on the Pac-12 Networks starting at 7 p.m. or later.
Under the modification, a Pac-12 Network game can start at 2:30 p.m. or 6 p.m. local time and can overlap with an ESPN or FOX TV window. This change is expected to reduce Pac-12 Networks night games by as many as four.
