$12.4 Million Home Perched Above the Ocean Hits the Market in Martha's Vineyard
The summer season is starting to heat up, but that doesn't mean it's too late for you to snap up your own beachside retreat.
A low-key Martha's Vineyard estate with horizon views over the Atlantic has just hit the market for $12.4 million. Designed by the architect Mark Hutker and built by J.G. Early in 2017, the eight-bedroom, nine-bath Colonial-style respite sits on a high bluff at the end of a private road. The seller, Paul Massey, once ran for mayor of New York City against Bill de Blasio before dropping out prior to the election. Moira Lown and Melissa Dailey at Coldwell Banker Realty hold the listing.

After the property was acquired by Massey from longtime owners, he rebuilt the home while retaining some of the original elements, like the farmhouse sink in the baby-blue kitchen, and dubbed it Big Bluff. The great room's open layout also includes a breakfast nook with a small built-in banquette and a living room anchored by a river-rock fireplace. A wet bar to the side makes for easy entertaining, with gatherings spilling from the living room into the attached screened-in porch.
A similar fireplace warms the primary bedroom, which also has a serene bathroom where separate vanities line the walls and a soaking tub is slightly elevated to take advantage of the ocean views. A private balcony and an outdoor shower complete the suite. There are seven other bedrooms that provide ample space for family or guests. The lower level is set up with a gym and a game room, while Adirondack chairs on the porches look out over a plush lawn and the ocean. There's no pool, but the members-only East Chop Beach Club is just down the street.
Martha's Vineyard has long been a favored summertime getaway popular with entertainment industry types, including Larry David, Spike Lee, Carly Simon, and Don Cheadle. A couple of years back, the journalist Diane Sawyer sold her 20-acre compound for a smidge under $24 million, and just last month, a 30-acre estate that formerly hosted Barack and Michelle Obama hit the market for $39 million. The home's owner, acclaimed British architect Norman Foster, bought the place in 2011 for $22.4 million and subsequently renovated it to stand out among the island's more traditional beach houses.Best of Robb Report

Rebuilding Pac-12 reaches deal with CBS for its football and men's basketball games
The Pac-12 struck a media-rights deal with CBS on Monday that sets up the network to broadcast a minimum of four football and men's basketball games per season on its main network and provide a cable and streaming presence for the reconfigured league from 2026-31. Financial details of the new deal were not disclosed. Conference Commissioner Teresa Gould called it a 'transformational partnership' that allows the Pac-12 to grow when it starts as a remodeled league in 2026-27. An inability to secure a media deal is what nearly cratered the league in 2023, with all but Oregon State and Washington State departing for the Big 12, Atlantic Coast and Big Ten Conferences. The Pac-12 already had deals in place to put all of the two remaining teams' football games on the CW, ESPN and CBS for the upcoming season. The new deal with what the league calls its 'primary long-term media partner' kicks in the next season, when Boise State, Colorado State, Fresno State, Utah State and San Diego State will join the Pac-12 in all sports, with Gonzaga joining in everything but football. The Pac-12 needs to add another football program to reach the minimum eight teams necessary to be in the Football Bowl Subdivision and, thus, the College Football Playoff. Multiple reports say Texas State has emerged as the top candidate. Under the new deal, CBS will broadcast at least three regular-season football and men's basketball games per season, along with the championship games for both sports. The league also will have what it called a 'consistent regular-season presence' on the cable CBS Sports Network. Details are still being finalized as Pac-12 media negotiator, Octagon, works on finding additional media partners for the league. ___ AP college football:

Mountain West Reached Revenue High Ahead of Pac-12 Showdown
The Mountain West Conference came close to cracking nine-figure revenue in fiscal year 2024, pulling in a record-setting $92.8 million—up from $78.2 million the year prior—just as it entered a high-stakes, increasingly adversarial engagement with the Pac-12. According to the conference's latest tax filings obtained by Sportico, commissioner Gloria Nevarez earned $1.02 million in base compensation during her first year on the job. Nevarez, who took over in January 2023 from long-serving predecessor Craig Thompson, has since presided over a volatile period for the league. Advertisement More from Total expenditures for the year hit $96.2 million, resulting in a year-over-year decline in net assets. A Mountain West spokesperson attributed much of the shortfall to an atypical distribution to San Diego State, which received both its FY23 and FY24 payments—totaling $12.9 million—within the same fiscal period. Most other member institutions received over $6 million, with Boise State ($8.7 million) and Hawaii ($2.1 million) serving as financial outliers. The league's legal expenses for the fiscal year totaled $756,741—costs incurred before it began litigating with the Pac-12. Among the conference's highest-paid independent contractors in FY24 were Wasserman Media Group ($1.08 million for media rights consulting), law firm Wilkie Farr & Gallagher ($748,516) and Huron Consulting ($346,105). The past fiscal cycle closed just before Washington State and Oregon State commenced a temporary football scheduling agreement with Mountain West schools for the 2024–25 season—a move that sparked further conflict when five MWC programs, including Boise State and San Diego State, later announced plans to join the Pac-12. In response, the Mountain West invoked its so-called 'poaching penalties,' a clause in the scheduling pact that imposed $10 million damages on the Pac-12 for bringing aboard a MWC school, with escalating charges for each additional member. Advertisement This led to a federal antitrust lawsuit filed by the Pac-12 last September, alleging the penalties violated antitrust laws and that the conference had been unfairly preyed upon in its 'weakened state.' The two sides are now in mediation over a financial dispute that, on paper, could total as much as $145 million in obligations from the Pac-12 to the MWC. Amid last year's upheaval, the Mountain West awarded full membership to both Hawaii and UTEP, added Northern Illinois as a football-only member starting in 2026, and welcomed UC Davis as a full, non-football member for the 2026–27 academic year. The newly configured conference also retained Air Force, UNLV, New Mexico, Nevada, San Jose State and Wyoming, each of which committed to remain last year. Best of Sign up for Sportico's Newsletter.
