Washington State president Kirk Schulz believes the conference must finalize a new media agreement by the middle of March: “The longer it goes, the more noise there will be.”

The Pac-12’s pursuit of a media rights contract, which began more than eight months ago in the middle of a roiling summer, is “close to being resolved,’’ according to a university president who sits on the Pac-12 Board of Directors’ executive committee.“My sense is we need to get it done in March — in mid-March, hopefully,” Schulz told the Hotline on Monday. “The longer it goes, the more noise there will be.

“But the speed with which were willing to put that out — I was stunned by my colleagues. Somebody said, ‘We should do something,’ and within an hour, everyone was saying yes … Normally, everyone wants to be a wordsmith.”He was Kansas State’s boss when the Big 12 lost Nebraska , Missouri and Colorado .

Based on private conversations with presidents across the conference, Schulz senses some “trepidation” about the specifics of the media rights deal but doesn’t expect anyone to flee. Schulz didn’t discuss specific schools or details of the Pac-12’s negotiations, but he emphasized that university presidents take a different view of realignment finances than fans.
