First of all, it’s a shame what happened yesterday. You as a school and it’s fans deserve better.

While the USCLA defection was the killshot for PAC, the path to destruction was set in motion the day the PAC presidents turned down Texas and Oklahoma. While Larry Scott did irreparable damage to the PAC with the mismanagement of the PAC Network, the university presidents at the time were also at fault for turning down that expansion. He was forward enough thinking to expand the PAC’s footprint. It kept the broadcasts on the west coast and lessened the brand of the major PAC schools. To top it off, a decade ago the PAC turned down the Big10’s proposal for a scheduling agreement that would have given the PAC more eastern exposure.

While the Big12 may be in the drivers seat for the 3rd conference, part of me wonders if history is repeating itself. Not taking UConn over doubling up on Utah and Arizona really regionalizes the conference. Maybe they’re banking on the demise of the ACC to pull in the East Coast, but that’s a gamble.
