The New York Post is reporting Apple TV+ is a potential landing spot for the Pac-12 college football rights.
According to the report, Apple could end up being the platform for the Pac-12, according to sources, because ESPN, Amazon Prime Video and Fox Sports are “lukewarm” on the league.
The sources told The Post that Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff could present Apple as a possibility to his schools soon.
Apple Insider reports Apple is looking for more sports content for Apple TV+, and it seems to want more control and rights than some franchises want to give up. It was for this reason that Apple passed on NFL Sunday Ticket.
A Pac-12 spokesman and an Apple spokeswoman both declined comment to The Post.
The Pac-12′s current deal with ESPN and Fox Sports runs through next season.
If Apple were to make an agreement, then it would presumably produce more than just football for the Pac-12. It is possible the production from the Pac-12 Network could be used.
