    So yeah, it’s all Larry’s fault.

    Once again this is not a Larry Scott problem. Everyone with a brain knows he is worthless. It's a problem with the Executive committee of the Pac 12 which recommends his continued employment to the rest of the Presidents. The Presidents of Oregon State, UCLA and Arizona State is where the blame lies. People need to start looking at these things as top down issues.
    ——————————

    Of course. It’s just fun to blame Larry for everything.

    The conference went for a quick money grab and gave the networks too much power. It was naive of them to think that ESPN and Fox would give the PAC-12 prime spots vs the SEC and the BIG10- especially given the PAC-12 Networks situation

    I think most people actually think it's a Larry Scott problem. Business 101. If you have a crappy employee short term it's an employee problem. If you have a crappy employee long term it's a management problem. The PAC 12 Presidents are simply put crappy management.

    I know of 6 people who didn't renew. Reasons provided were start times, and unable to get a beer/drink.

    They can’t go five hours without a drink?

    Huh
    FIFY.

    And no, fuck no.

    If it’s too expensive. Fine I get it

    Family? Sure It's 6 fucking Saturdays out of the year. Do you give a fuck or not?

    Too much time out of the day? I get that also See above.

    But to say you aren’t attending a college football game because you can’t buy $10 beers is ridiculous and a lie. What are you going to have 4? beers at the game? $40 fucking dollars in one of the most affluent areas in the world? Kiss my ass. See above.

    I’ve been drinking in the stands for 20 years. 100%



    This is why the SEC rules. West Coast people don't care enough about football. That's fine but stop fucking crying about being second class.

    Live on the west coast or have a good football program and live in Alabama. One of those things is winning.







    Is what fans of loser ass west coast football say.

    My problem is an 8 year old and a 7 year old who just have to play soccer on football Saturdays.

    Don’t go to the soccer games. They will never remember if you were there or not. Start going when they are in high school sports which are rarely on fall Saturdays

    This 6-day window bullshit needs to stop. Larry gave way too much power away to the networks. Is it a football game or a TV show? I went to the 8pm Arizona game on Halloween a few years ago and it was the smallest crowd I’ve ever seen at Husky Stadium. Had to be only half full, if that.

    I’d definitely buy season tickets if I lived in Seattle and the late start times wouldn’t be as much of a bother. Trying to make plans to fly up can be a pain when you don’t have a gametime. (Yeah I know, #FirstWorldProblems)

    So yeah, it’s all Larry’s fault.

    Yeah, I try to time my trips up to Seattle to see family with Husky games but this shit makes it immensely more difficult to pull off. At least my family up there are all alumni so if I fuck off from a family event to go to the game they are all supportive of it.
