Message: [QUOTE="Wbbfan1, post: 3377214, member: 74"] To get on National TV, the PAC 12 Teams need to schedule games against the Elite East/MidWest teams during their Non Conference Schedule. Can't complain like some PAC 12 teams/fans have they don't get national TV Exposure since the PAC 12 Network controls their Conference Games. Six of the 11 PAC 12 teams have an OOC Strength of Schedule greater than 180. PAC 12 is not alone, as the other P5 Teams do they same thing. You can list on two hands the number of WBB teams that schedule competitive OOC Schedules on an annual basis. Stanford is usually one of them. Weak/Pathetic OOC Schedules don't grow the Game. It also leads to the Constant Complaint why is UConn and/or Notre Dame always on National Television. Because they're usually good and will play anyone. Being on the East coast also helps as the games can be scheduled during East Coast Prime time and their fans can attend the games. IF the PAC 12 scheduled a couple of Conference Challenges with the other P5 Teams, they would get more national tv exposure. Especially going forward as it looks like they will have 4 to 6 Top 25 teams annually. Can't tell me that ESPN wouldn't have loved to Nationally Televised a couple of Oregon OOC Games with the Hype (Deserved) that Sabrina Ionescu is getting. All Oregon had to do was to schedule a couple of more games against teams usually in the Top 20 and if they were Oregon home games, probably schedule them on a Saturday/Sunday afternoon. [/QUOTE]
