Agreed. I am more sad than anything. The only equivalent is Nebraska bailing on 100 years of playing their Great Plains rivals for the B1G.DerekJohnson said:
In a certain sense, this breaks my heart. All that tradition, all those years of looking forward to playing USC in the rain and battling for a Rose Bowl berth. *POOF*whatshouldicareabout said: -

The Coug vs Boise State rivalry will be epic for years to come.Swaye said:I like that a bunch of Ducks just learned how unimportant they really are. Fox came calling and the only one that moved the needle was USC, and of course UCLA got the little brother pity invite. UW and Duck not part of the equation. I was under no illusions that UW sucks so no surprise there, but I love all the Ducks learning that they are worthless just like us.
We will end up landing somewhere with Duck because of TV, but what is happening with Beav and CUOG is the most hysterical thing in all of this. -
The NFL at least makes sense. And it’s fair and honest.CFetters_Nacho_Lover said:

College football is a steaming pile of illogical shit. -
So do we get a REAL champion yet?
Maybe the Rose Bowl should join the BCS. What could go wrong? -
The northwest rivalries, ease of traveling to an away game, tradition....this is what stings the most. On the other hand, the P12 has been trending down, home attendance not good, there are only a couple conference games that move the needle, so playing in a major conference might bring some life to seeing some big home games, and recruiting might improve. UW will need to get it's shit together for NIL though

If Cohen is still the AD through and after this, that is a huge red flag.

As much as we love a lot of things about the tradition of college football, some things have been breaking down, and not just in the Pac-12, and committing to the TV money and the five programs that are rolling is about the only sure thing the sport has, and even that seems short term to me.dannarc said:The northwest rivalries, ease of traveling to an away game, tradition....this is what stings the most.

I remember talk about even some attendance issues at Alabama. I don't know if attendance issues will ever be resolved at USC and UW.
I personally think taking away the regionalism of the sport will cause long-term problems and the eventual creation of essentially a minor league will keep future generations from not getting into college football.
My biggest selling point would be just changing the name to the Saturday Football League and making the tagline "It's better to get drunk on Saturday."
