I'm sure there are a few other coaches thinking this... In the non major sports.

So you must have thoroughly enjoyed the NCAA W Soccer Champioship last fall? The UNC faithful out in force in Cary, NC were counting down the seconds to adding another College Cup trophy when UCLA, led by former Stanford Assistant and very first time head coach Margueritte Aozasa, tied the match on a corner kick with under 30 seconds left. UCLA went on to win the championship scoring a goal late in the second OT period. Gut wrenching for Tar Heel supporters. Schadenfrued for Stanford and Duke fans no doubt.@triaddukefan, you and I will find common cause here: Dorrance and UNC WSOC is the worst. He coaches a dirty style of play, and we've had several Stanford WSOC players go down to season-ending injuries in early non-conference games against UNC. Nothing would bring me more joy than for Dorrance to lose early and often and UNC to never again win anything of significance in WSOC.
What happened to the whole, "We want to compete against the best and beat the best?" coaching mantra? His attitude is essentially: I don't want to work hard, I prefer easy wins, and if I can kneecap the competition, I will. What a role model.
Definitely a twist that would be interesting to see in action. The idea is familiar to those who follow European soccer leagues.Looks like the PAC will still be around after all. I like the new model the PAC/Mountain West will be using.

Darn you UCLA and U$C
Well, I will miss the PAC - but NOT the PACN.
Confusing at best, wrong at worst. Did Stanford disappear? And while I would love to continue calling them PAC-12 teams, unfortunately, they are not.

agree 1000%On a related note, I hate what college sports have become
Final official day for the Pac 12 and Pac 12 Network
