P12 Network- DirecTV
Wonder what time would be the latest where they would be able to still show the game tonight on DirecTV that starts at 10pm...

RE: P12 Network- DirecTV
If DirecTV has completed testing the channel, and they probably have, they could switch it on at any time.
Larry Scott was supposed to attend Michigan at Utah tonight but cancelled. Speculation is that negotiations with DirecTV might be the reason, but who knows. If they really are negotiating, the bigger goal would be to get it done before Saturday when there are 4 games on PTN.

Not sure what there is to negotiate.
Millions of DTV customers, subscribing to a standard tier of channels, want to watch football on the P12N, and are no less deserving of the opportunity to do so than their counterparts on DISH.
Take the same carriage rate as P12N is paying DISH. Show the games. Make your customers happy (for once). Don't be greedy a__holes.

Millions is a gross overstatement - doubt that Pac-12 network gets 1 million viewers a month overall, let alone for just Direct Tv. Plus anybody who had to have it just moved to Dish a year ago.

I'm very much willing to bet there are millions of DTV customers who consider themselves PAC football fans.
Doesn't mean they'll tune into P12N, if it becomes available, but there's no reason to deprive them for the sake of greed.
