New PAC-12 Forming

[Blades]

The new Pac12 is absolute garbage and there’s zero reason for us to want anything to do with them. The only way they can improve that conference is by moving it further west until it drowns offshore.

The idea that we would somehow be able to enhance recruiting by playing in the Pac12 is just so far on the wrong side of stupid. There isn’t a recruitable football player in this solar system who will spend even one second thinking about the Pac12 conference title.

+1....As a bunch of us having been saying all along, there's a reason Uconn turned down any PAC 12 talk as FB only awhile back. Sounds like some of their new members have received the not so glowing report on their TV/media deal. "A little lean" but better than $4mil ??? ....( report is it'll be great exposure though, I think I've heard that one before, LOL!)

Report also says regarding the PAC 12 bringing in any new members, "they probably won't be able to afford to pay any they've looked at in the past"

It was insane that people thought this conference was actually going to be appealing to the media. The actual Pac12 only got offered a very conditional $20M per by Apple and people thought this collection of Mountain West scrapple was going to pull $10-15M?

It’s not a good conference. The American is orbits better.

Speaking of Mountain West…

The departing schools will spend like $15MM each in exit fees, plus losing their cut of the Pac 12 OSU/WSU exit fees, which I think was around $40 million, just so they can make $4/year in the Pac 12? We have seen some dumb stuff in realignment, but this crew just set a new standard of stupidity.

I think the PAC is a fine G conference for its State members. It's an extremely tough pill to swallow for Oregon State and Wazzu, going from the P5 to a very mediocre G league. I think SDSU can't be too thrilled either because it was primed for something bigger. It's like everyone is chasing dollars but losing financially and what makes sense from a regional standpoint. It's a tragic comedy before our eyes.

It’s obvious that the PAC12 is banking on being the auto-G5 representative in the CFP but I’m not so sure that’s a guarantee.

It says the CW will carry their games... their games might be on tape delay for a Charmed marathon, but dont worry.... they are a major player in college football
