I stopped following basketball that closely but is Arizona in 98 or so our? last national champ?
USC back to back in 03 and 04 in football and blew the three pete carroll just like the HAWKS blew the repeat. Sorry
Oregon had two shots at the title and UW got a play off berth
That is pretty sad
It has actually got worse since 2016 -
I like it. Should mean the Pac12 becomes the leader in sports betting at the ncaa level, move the p12 title to Vegas, and launch a Labor Day game vs sec in Vegas

Yep ... Arizona last to win in men’s hoops in 1997.RaceBannon said:I stopped following basketball that closely but is Arizona in 98 or so our? last national champ?

Basketball has probably been hurt more by the media deals than any other given so many games on the P12 Network that nobody has access to.
The thing that needs to be solved from a football standpoint is that the top programs in the P12 need to be able to have a slightly better national recruiting ability than we presently do. Right now the recruits leaving the area are not being replaced by comparable players we are bringing in from outside of the footprint -
Step one should be to put Pac12 championship game as home game for someone. It’s a terrible look to have it half full on tv.Tequilla said:

But to get people to come you have to help people out ...
1) Get airlines (Alaska) to run additional flights to/from Vegas to get fans to the game reasonably ... gouging prices with limited supply available doesn’t help
2) Partner with hotels to make sure that lodging is at a reasonable price ... you want the fans there to buy food, go to events, and lose money at the tables
If you can’t find a way to get everybody there then you have to move it on campus. The P12 has a geography problem in that it’s not super easy to drive to a centrally located championship game -
Vegas works for USC because LA folks are used to the trip either driving or one of the many flights. Same for the desert schools. Could turn into a South Division home field. Utah is close as well

I'd rather have a South division homefield than nobody's neutral field in the bay area where Jack Dorsey's Ted Talks draw a larger crowd.RaceBannon said:Vegas works for USC because LA folks are used to the trip either driving or one of the many flights.

Or enough fans willing to travel on short notice. I agree that if Vegas is going to work, it needs heavy subsidization from somewhere. I’d give away free tickets at the door to make it look good for tv if you need to.Tequilla said:

And make it a Saturday afternoon game. Friday night neutral setting game with a weeks notice was easily the dumbest idea anyone has ever had. -
Yep the Friday night thing screams small time
