It could be argued that the Pac-12's inept and weak reaction to Covid sped up the conference's demise by 3-5 years.
There’s zero argument the other direction.
The decision not to play looks awful now, but even then, in the context of the tims, it was bad, because 3/5 P5 conferences had decided to play, plus the damn Sun Belt, MAC, etc. It just meant less.
I've had the impression at UW the softball players at least understood that football revenue allowed them to play in tournaments across the country. I was there during Gilby and knew softball players who tailgated for football, and bemoaned the loss of revenue as it would mean they would be stuck on the west coast, and not be able to play in Florida or other warm climates early in the season.
Followed UW track pretty closely this season. They were running almost exclusively in the other time zones.
UW is almost always the most traveled by miles in the country. Seattle to LA is already shy of three hours. Seattle Chicago/ Lincoln, Minneapolis/ Iowa city/ Madison aren't much further time wise.
I wonder if any of the softball players bleach there butt holes… maybe Bailey.

The 2009 team, at least the couple players I had classes with were cool as hell. Joked about taking Swahili classes and generally weren't there to play school.
Same with the women's rowboat team, but those chicks were thick and ultra Canadian. One of them joked about and described her DUI in BC when she was in high school.
Imagine your college education and team being 100 percent funded by football revenue and then complaining about those athletic departments having to make cutthroat decisions to survive.

They cited mental health and further distances for their families to travel for road games.
