Even with that mindset, if you look at this year and see half the teams ranked and a non bottom feeder SC moving forward you feel good about a new TV deal and good *enough* money.Geevis_and_Butthead said:

It was clueless and resentful Pac-12 presidents who've long resented the emphasis on football/men's basketball and believed an "All Sports Matter" approach was the best path forward
If SC isn't a bunch of quitters and make the playoffs against Michigan it helps it even more with the new contract just a season away. -
We disagree on a lot of stuff, but I feel at least you and I have some mutual respect for each other. And posts like this, make me remember why.haie said:Fight the Fuck On you fucking turncoats!

There is something to this. The current P12 commercial is focused on "Olympic sports." They actually use those words: "If you're in an Olympic sport, the P12 is the place to be," or something like that.Geevis_and_Butthead said:

With that said, that mindset could have been influenced/changed. It's like any political movement: it just needs a push. And football has the ace card: none of the schools in the P12 other than Stanford and, maybe, USC, can afford to bank roll a bunch of non-revenue sports w/o football to act as a massive subsidy. No football bucks, no Olympic Buck Rodgers. Washington and Oregon leaving will be the true death blow.
I will always believe the western schools belong together, that regional schools should continue to align themselves regionally, and that this (conference realignment) is what is upsetting the natural order of things. But, here we go. -
