College football season “kicks-off” this weekend, and the Pac-12 has released a new iPad app just in time for college football fanatics. The app will allow users to stream college sports directly to their iPads wherever they are, so they won’t miss a punt, pass, or kick!
9to5Mac:
Games that are broadcasted on TV will require a Cable television login and password, but no login will be required for long-tail events like rowing or UCLA football that do not get TV airtime. All major cable providers are on board except Comcast, of course, which has its own Xfinity iPad app. Pac-12 is working with smaller cable networks to get on board too.

Fans that find themselves far away from their old alma-mater can view all their favorite Pac-12 college’s games and matches. Fans can also embed clips of Pac-12 sports into their blogs and websites. The app will also feature interviews and recaps of games that are not broadcast.
9to5Mac says the developer of the app received a lot of help from Apple on getting the app up and running. (apparently Apple has a lot of Pac-12 alumni working for them.) “Pac-12 Now is game changer in our ability to deliver our content to millions of fans,” said Pac-12 Enterprises President Gary Stevenson. “Today we are one step closer to achieving our goal of connecting fans with our live programming and feature content when and where they choose to access it.”
To better cater to individual viewing preferences, Ooyala created a graphic interactive programming guide. (IPG) that acts more like a map of what is important to the viewer than a traditional grid-type guide. Teams and sports can be priortized for viewing by the user. Future versions of the app will highlight games that are currently live, tied games, or games nearing a close finish, and games that are trending in the viewers social graph. Fans can also chat and share their viewing experience on Facebook and Twitter.
“The result of our work with the Pac-12 Networks is a multi-screen fan experience that changes the way sports are watched,” said Ooyala Chief Executive Officer Jay Fulcher. “The web and iPad experiences blur the line between broadband and traditional broadcasts, and are hallmarks of a new way of distributing entertainment – in this case sports – reaching digital consumers on their schedule, on their preferred screen and with a more engaging experience. The result is a win for everyone involved – the fans, the Pac-12 and their participating broadcast affiliates.”

Apple is still pursuing acquiring a media rights deal with the Pac-12 Conference, a move that is obviously meant to bolster Apple TV+ with live sports coverage.
Apple appears to be interested in acquiring the Pac-12 Conference's primary media rights package instead of a solely digital one. Currently, ESPN and Fox are the current holders of those rights, which are set to expire after the 2023-2024 season. The two companies pay a combined $250 million per year for those rights.
Back in December 2019, The Wall Street Journalreported that Apple was having 'preliminary' conversations with Pac-12 in an effort to bring sports to its Apple TV+ streaming platform. Those discussions have reportedly continued through the first quarter of 2020.
In a report published on Tuesday discussing the continuing conversations, sources told Sports Business Daily that Apple sees live sports as a programming genre that can set its own streaming business apart from competitors. Sources called the conversations with Apple the most 'intriguing.'
Pac-12 Networks President Mark Shuken said that Apple is 'very interested in learning more about the rights and learning more about the business to determine whether or not they'd be a viable partner in 2024.'
Another reason why Apple is serious about Pac-12 appears to be proximity. The Pac-12 conference is based in Apple's backyard in the San Francisco Bay Area. The Cupertino tech giant already carries the Pac-12 app on the Apple TV, and Shuken said that Pac-12 has been working with Apple 'on experimenting with different products that we have.'
Apple is only one of the tech giants that Pac-12 expects to make serious bids come Fall 2024. Other companies like Facebook, Amazon, Google and Netflix, which have remained relatively quiet during NFL and MLB rights discussions, may also be involved in discussions with Pac-12.
Shuken added that by the time 2024 rolls around, the digital media landscape will likely look vastly different, possibly in part because of recently launched sports streaming services like ESPN+ and Peacock.
