Do you have faith in Pac-9 Commish George Kalashnikov?

No I don'tNo.
This is not a knock on Kalishnikov ... he's playing with a rigged deck IMO.
If we want to start the blame game I knew this was coming when they hired that malignant, cancerous idiot Larry Scott (who was completely useless and even worse spent a ton of money on himself while fucking the conf).
But the biggest blame is for those guys like the Oregon State prez and others of his ilk (other schools) that advocated for Scott and had a small game perspective, hoping to carry the smaller schools in the wake of success.
What they actually did was signed the Pac death warrant and now the whole conference is fucked and ready for piecemeal division.
So, what happened?:
- Scott fucks around, does an extremely shitty job, PAC journos constantly criticize him and he just shrugs it off, revenues drops like mad, PAC schools get the least amount of money compared to the other conferences, PAC quickly becomes less and less competitive, can't compete for recruits OR the hearts and minds of the rest of the country, and only the have-PAC schools can even kinda compete on the national stage/consciousness.
- usc, ucla leaves. They're like "fuck this place, we're not going to save the weak from drowning ... if tradition is fucked then fuck it ..." - it got that bad.
the other regional/national players like UW/Ore are like "okay, what do we do now ..." At least Stanford has academis. At least now they don't have to even pretend to play football. They can probably drop football and pump that money into sand volleyball.
... lastly, the NCAA shot itself in the dick, bigly. Has anyone noticed how much less the name "NCAA" has been dropped in the media? They lost all their governing mojo and authority. They used to run shit with fear and intimidation and gate keeped ... now they're an afterthought.

About 2 months ago, Mrs Nacho and I were at a bar and the TV was showing an espn documentary about Venus and Serena Williams. I’m half watching and see Larry fucking Scott in his former capacity as whatever it was he did. I start going off. Mrs Nacho shut me up by reminding me that Larry was doing what he was allowed/told to do by the university presidents.animate said:No.

ASU was a football school at least Arizona was and is worthless -
No I don'tAfter reading everything, the other schools knew Colorado was leaving and didn't care. But his response at Pac 12 media days has to be the dumbest fucking game plan for that question.

SDSU and Colorado are basically the same thing as far as dollars and eyes. SDSU is a better AD.haie said:After reading everything, the other schools knew Colorado was leaving and didn't care. But his response at Pac 12 media days has to be the dumbest fucking game plan for that question.
ATBS, PAC has never been able to control the narrative on this and is perpetually 5 steps behind. Had the media rights been completed earlier they could've brought SDSU onboard for far less money. SDSU's buyout is now doubled to $34 million because they took so damn long.
It doesn't matter how shitty the school is that left the conference. The narrative is PAC continues to lose. -
No I don't
I'm listening to Furness right now. Other than the usual butthurt coug "IF WASHINGTON AND OREGON WERE GONE TO THE B1G THEY WOULD HAVE ALREADY LEFT!!!" schtick, he's right about the response.BleachedAnusDawg said:

Just immediately announce SDSU. The official Pac response was just more of the same which feeds the Big 12 grifters.
Washington and Oregon should just tell the league they need combined 60%+ of revenue, all games but 1-2 on linear or they're joining the Big 12 tomorrow.
But of course we know at UW and Oregon are getting into the B1G at probably 40-50 mil to start with. -
I have faith that the media market is telling the P12 loud and clear what it's value is and that's not as a P5 conference.
Blaming George K b/c he can't sell typewriters in a computer world is shooting the messenger not the message. -

Neah. Wouldn’t put much stock in to what he says.
Saw that guy stumbling around on his words days ago…”uh, uh, uh…, not elaborating on “media” stuff right now”…”uh, uh, uh…”
Fuck, I’m in south MS and saw that shit.
If I’m a top level recruit, and expect a spotlight on ME! And you have no answer to what spotlight may be on me?? Fuck ya. I absolutely know where one will be, either BIG with Fox or SEC with ESPN…evertyfuckingsaturday…fuck ya. -

Go at OSU and Utah all you want.
No one can carry the 7/9 remaining schools. Unless you're a quook retard and think you're a national brand.
