SAN FRANCISCO – With the 2013 college football season just 24 days away, Pac-12 Networks is getting fans ready for all the action, shooting all 12 of its 2013 football preview shows on location at each team's training camp August 6–21. The shows will then roll out on Pac-12 Networks over 16 days, beginning Thursday, August 8.
