BAD SIGNAL?: Pac-12 Faces Doubts Over Media Days and TV DEAL—What It REALLY Means for Football

The Pac-12 enters its first season as a revamped league, and needs to tell its own story to help shape its future. Why didn't they hold media days this year and is that a mistake? On today's episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin and 'Locked On Mississippi State' host Jaron Spoor discuss a big matchup for HC Jeff Lebby. A week 2 showdown with Minnesota is not a game Lebby can afford to lose. Barry Odom had a rough first season with Purdue and does not have high expectations going into this Fall. Will the Boilermakers be anything but a bottom dweller?
