    It's done. I'm not here for reviewing the 'why'. Of course I'll miss the P12. But I also miss my wife's ass as it existed when she was in her 20s. C'est la vie. Or whatever.

    Pics of wife's ass when she was in her 20's?!
    We really pics of both to truly judge.

    I just think all of the Pac 12 academis smack talk over the years is pointless. It just doesn't matter in big time college football.

    I think there's been a total of like 6 natties in the past 25 years by schools's with respectable academis. USC (2); Texas (1); Ohio State (2) and Miamuh (1). I really hate having to include Miamuh here, but @creepycoug told me I have to.

    Miami is an academics school?
    We always tie Miami. UW and Miami are tied at #55

    US News is about as good a ranking as Buzzfeed. If you look at scholarship and world changing research, Miami is a pale imitation of the true centers of civilization.

    And I get your point that academis prowess is not generally appreciated in Football. And with NIL and the portal it will only get worse.

    But I can still grieve while at the same time be relieved we are in the BIG 10. I guess this is my Kennedy getting shot moment. The world will never be quite the same.
    Different sites create these rankings for different purposes. Some try to look at the best value (cost going in versus salary coming out) whereas others give different weights to different metrics.

    To me, research dollars are the most important since there's a limited supply of dollars available and every university is competing to get what they can. The better universities are the ones awarded those grants and contracts.

    So, the University of Kentucky and Cal Tech are about on par with one another. Colorado State and Univ. of South Florida are better universities than Princeton. The University of Utah is better than the University of Chicago.


    I see.

    Certainly US Views and World distort has some merit. It measures cultural relevance as much as quality. The international ones that rank UW highly are the ones based on how often an institutions scholarly work is used or incorporated into other scholarly work, as well as other objective measures. And large research universities do have an inherent advantage for that. But not always.

    Chicago is a great example. Its scholarly output is above UW despite being much smaller. And also on point, they gave up football in the 1920’s because it didn’t fit into their view of what higher education was about.

    But to be clear, my only point in all this is the PAC was special both in academics and in athletics. I think the lesson is they (we) are sometimes too fucking smart to figure out we are pushing on a pull door. Mesmerized by the smell of our own farts, as the Mormons have been known to say.

    Agree with that.

    Miami has historically been a bit harder to get into, so the avg. undergrad there was a bit smarter than the average UW undergrad. Numbers don't lie. I don't know that that's the case anymore, but historically it was. Of course, while Miami has a teaching hospital, law school (with a great tax program) and business school, UW has historically ranked higher in many/most departments. It's not a research behemoth by any stretch, but yes, it's a school full of kids who were very solid students in high school. That, to me anyway, is the most relevant measure.
    Tax program? Don’t you mean money laundering and tax evasion program?
    Aren't those the best kind?

    Miami is a school that kids go to party. Pullman on the Beach with a Cheesy law school.

    So not to be a homer or anything, but seriously, how the fuck did the PAC 12 implode? I always took great pride that my institution, one of the true drivers of innovation and change in the world, was banded together with other like minded institutions. Stanford and Berkeley, UCLA and Washington were the heart of the Pacific Conference and world leaders in every sense of the word. USC and Oregon (as much as we malign them) had national relevance to the culture and knowledge. Giants walking the earth. Zeitgeist personified.

    Arizona was not far behind. Wazzu, in its areas, is relevant worldwide. Oregon state was admittedly a laggard and ASU generally only good for beautiful coeds (we all need wives). even the addition of Colorado (a very fine place of higher learning) and Utah (less so but the Mormons are hard workers) did not diminish the light of the PAC.

    It was, by any measure, at least as impactful globally as the Ivy League. International measures had Stanford, Cal and UW as top 10 institutions, with UCLA and USC top 50.

    So now we get down to brass tacks. Who is to blame for this abomination. Kliavkoff was too new to have real blame. And a large portion of blame much be meted out to Larry Scott, who mismanaged the intellectual property of the PAC it was criminal.

    But my friends, my loyal purple and gold friends, the true culprit in this is the University of Southern California. Those Trojan rat bastards sold their pacific souls and forced the rest to pick up the pieces. I place little blame on UCLA, they merely followed.

    So fuck the Trojans. Fuck them for not enjoying paradise. Fuck them for being afraid of the rest of the west coast. Fuck them for being the fake ass Hollywood bitches they are.

    It’s time to declare war. Who’s with me?

    Someone got paid to do something better. We're all the culprit.
