Message: [QUOTE="azfan, post: 4710548, member: 7748"] A great lede; Well, it might be time to say goodbye to the the Pac-12 – or Pac-9 or whatever it is anymore. The league is going, going … soon to be gone. [B]If the Pac-9 were a horse, they would shoot [/B]it. The league has been seriously wounded and it’s difficult to imagine how it can be saved.

[B]The vibrations coming out of the Pac-12 are starting to sound like a death march[/B]. It’s not quite time to read the last rites, but you might want to keep them nearby just in case. In the end, there was no magic bullet, no mystery deal, nothing commissioner George Kliavkoff had up his sleeve. The unsatisfactory truth of the Pac-12’s journey to a new media rights deal is that the negotiations were never going well, the contract was always going to be bad and the reason its conclusion kept getting pushed off into the future was because Kliavkoff held a terrible hand.

[URL unfurl="true"]https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/big-ten-examining-potential-additions-of-oregon-washington-california-and-stanford-to-conference/[/URL] The Big Ten has started considering further additions to its 16-team conference with league members holding preliminary conversations surrounding expansion to as many as 20 teams, sources tell CBS Sports. While Oregon, Washington, California and Stanford -- all Pac-12 members -- are the programs under consideration by the league, it is Oregon and Washington that are the primary focus should the Big Ten chose to expand by two programs and become an 18-team conference.
