Here is the offical release from the PAC 12 Network:

excellent

Now, where's codycooper64 and his rumors?

In the 4 1/2 years that I have had U-verse, this is the first time that I have ever seen them add a new channel on a Saturday.  I guess they wanted the channels up and running prior to today's games.

By the way, yesterday's addition of beIN Sport on a Friday was also unusual.  There have been a few instances in the past where new channels have been added on a Friday; however, the normal days that U-verse adds new channels are on Monday's and Thursdays.

  I had to reboot my RG. That is the first time i have ever had to do that for any thing new.

Awesome week for Uverse! Bein & now Pac 12! 

Yay!

Looking at the channel guide, it seems that for the most part all three channels have the same thing on at the same time. I did find a few exceptions such as with women's volleyball. Nevertheless, duplication on all three channels is better than no channels at all.

Owning a computer and not having the internet is like buying a refrigerator and not stocking it with food.

yes! Thank you Uverse!

I assume that we cannot get PAC12- Arizona, Mountain, Oregon, and Washington because U-Verse does not serve those states yet.

When I checked, U-Verse was not yet listed on the provider list so that video could be streamed onto your computer from Network, Bay Area, and Los Angeles.

What is the purpose of carrying three channels if it's all the same programming?  Will the Bay Area and Los Angeles channels eventually broadcast something different from the national channels?

I noticed that two other providers in Orange County that carry Pac-12 don't carry the Bay Area channel and that Dish only carries the national channel.

Yes, there will be some programming distinction, as well as some duplicate programming.

Kudos to AT&T.  

I saw the channels on my guide today and subscribed to the Sports package several hours ago (on U-200 in San Diego 92122). I still get that I am not subscribed despite the Account Manager application saying that changes would take effect in 30 minutes, and that I have rebooted my RG about an hour ago. Any thoughts on how to get the channel activated?

I was not subscribed to the Sports package until this morning, and since I subscribed I have access to the CBS Sports channel, which was previously not subscribed. So I know that the Sports package has been applied to my account.
