In its end of year announcement released on Tuesday, the Pac-12 acknowledged students’ “growing interest” in esports. As a result, Pac-12 presidents and chancellors approved a plan to televise esports competitions on the conference network.
“Esports is a natural fit for many of our universities located in the technology and media hubs of the country,” Pac-12 Commissioner Larry Scott said. “Pac-12 Networks’ commitment to innovation as well as its natural tie to our universities and established media platform make it the perfect organization to develop the framework for esports intercollegiate competition.”
