    I'm 75 minutes in. Really good discussion.

    Danny said something like with Colorado leaving the Pac-12 realizes it got dumped by the ugly chick (or something like that)

    Danny thinks Kalashnikov should resign. Nobody can take anything he says as grounded in reality. But he doesn't blame him.

    Danny and Christian vaguely put blame on Pac-12 presidents but don't seem to want to criticize Cauce. (That's how I read it. Danny might think that's an unfair assessment.)

    Danny doesn't think any of this is the ADs' fault.

    Christian summed things up well that the Pac-12's achilles heel has always been arrogance. They think they're above the Big 12.

    The Big 12 has recovered well from losing Texas and Oklahoma because they want to succeed.

    The Pac 12 is collapsing from its arrogance and impotence (my words but that was the gist)

    If uw football becomes mwc level I will laugh. Serves the admin right for all of the arrogance as stated. I won't really miss it.

    This year should be good and it does feel like a swan song. Anything less than getting into the big 10 ruins the program long term.

    They aren't associating with Utah State.

    Worst case they would take a check from Amazon and go independent.

    Thing is, UW administration doesn’t understand — or care to understand — that playing in a conference like the Mountain West would be a bad thing.

    They don’t get it, and never really have.

    I fully expect a 2026 schedule that will feature home games against Boise, Oregon State, Fresno, Air Force, San Jose and Cal.

    Independent, mwc, broken pac,or big 12. None of it matters of the revenue discrepancy is massive. That's the biggest problem in all of this, they want to value academics when we are talking about football revenue.

    I disagree the Big 12 has recovered well. They are more stable but added some shit schools to address the loss of their flagship programs. to that end, the Pac will have to add even worse shit schools but its all shit in the end anyway.

    Fuck the Pac. Fuck the presidents. Fuck the ADs. Fuck the media. FYFMFE.

    What options did the Big12 have to add schools that weren't "shit" schools?

    Which of the 4 programs that they added were "shit" adds?

    Considering that the Big12 is going to survive and the PAC has splintered and almost assuredly will not survive ... hard to not say that the Big12 hasn't done what it had to do to continue as a going concern

    @DerekJohnson

    Of course they won't criticize Cauce or Jen ... do so and you get your access cut off

    It's pretty sad how thin skinned most of the PAC leadership is ... but it's part of the deal at this point

    FSU reported to be actively working to ditch ACC. B1G or SEC?

    If they go B1G and pull Clemson along, the Big-12 will suddenly become that 1am chick to Oregon and Washington.




    No - it likely means that it opens the door for UW (and likely Oregon) to go to the Big10 and get to 20

    ND will remain independent as long as they can

    Sure rhe Big 12 will survive, but what's the point when your completion is making double what you will in revenue? These programs will not will not be competitive on the national stage.
