Money and lot's of it is coming Utah's way. The Pac-12 has reached a 12-year television deal with ESPN and Fox that will net the conference $2.7 billion over 12 years. The deal, which is expected to be announced as early as tomorrow, will give the league more than $225 million per year for football, basketball and Olympic sports rights. The Utes will work into a full share over three years, eventually netting nearly $19 million on an annual basis.
