RENTON, Wash. (AP) – Outside of his daily assignment of carrying in the shoulder pads and helmets of his veteran teammates, the Seattle Seahawks’ Bobby Wagner doesn’t feel much like a rookie.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – The studio has been built, the staff has been hired and the programming grid completed. It’s been a whirlwind year since the Pac-12 announced plans in 2011 to launch one national and six regional networks to give more exposure to the conference’s athletic teams. The networks, launching Aug. 15, will carry 850 live sporting events and studio shows this year.
