Duck Stuff: Morning Mud

Morning Mud

• The Pac-12 conference announced their new Pac-12 TV Network deal yesterday and you can count on one thing, starting in 2012 there will be no more missed games.

So far, the conference has signed deals with these cable operators; Time Warner Cable, Comcast, Cox and BrightHouse to carry the networks but expect to add satellite and telephone companies.

The new deal also includes “TV everywhere” rights,  (great deal here) permitting the networks to be viewed outside customers’ homes on any digital device, such as smart phones and tablet computers.

There will be six regional networks and a national network. The six regions will cover the schools in the following areas: Washington, Oregon, Northern California, Southern California, Arizona and Mountain (Utah and Colorado.)

You can read summaries from the New York Times, Jon Wilner and Ted Miller.

• Rob Moseley shares his article on David Paulson's experience at the Media Conference which turned out to be a good one despite a couple of problems.

• Former Oregon QB Kellen Clemens has agreed to terms with the Washinton Redskins.
