What pisses me off is that the Pac 12 is stuck in a time warp. Three weeks after EVERYONE (even Grandpa Sankey) can see what NEEDS to be done. . . . . . . . they just mumble and say..................uh. . . . . maybe you all were correct. . . . . . . . .dnc said:

Larry Scott - pay attention to the rest of college football. They have experience this year actually playing football. -

No one can say that the Pac 12 is irrelevant or that no one gives a shit about it when everyone is constantly losing their minds over how shitty and complacent our AD and Commissioner is, including fans from other p5 conferences.

Larry Scott and the Pac12 treats college football (and sports) as a cash cow that is more of convenient happenstance that they will milk until they retire or it dies. The more excuses on why you cant do something, the better.EwaDawg said:

The REAL football/athletic programs understand they are entertainment enterprises that need to produce a product and figure out how to do it regardless of circumstance.
Reminds me of government work vs private enterprise work mentality. -
This was my main complaint way back in 1993 as UW was bending over for the Pac 10 investigators and pleading guilty and apologizing at the start. Then all the we aren't a football school we are a research universityHouhusky said:

It may shock many to know that I don't have a problem with that if that is what UW wants. What I did have a problem with and expressed to Babs was that I was still being charged full boat for my Tyee Purple and seats. Let's deemphasize the price as well and we are all good. That was the real beginning of the end for me even though it took until 2007 to kill me off for good -
What would actually stop UW or any other school in the conference from scheduling a non-con if their schedule allows it? In a normal year do we? have to get the P12's blessing to schedule a Michigan game? Everyone passes the buck and claims they don't have permission because they don't want to do hard work.

I just listened to the halfbrain podcast that was recorded right after Emmert announced Ty was getting his 4th year. You rightfully said the same thing 13 years ago.RaceBannon said:

You’re so right @RaceBannon, UW has been trying to rebrand itself as an elite academic institution for years now, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. If they want to de-prioritize sports, that’s their right, but don’t pull that “All In” campaign bullshit in the same breath. I’m not going to pay Gucci prices for a Coach purse.RaceBannon said:

I personally think you can have ABUNDANCE, be a public Ivy and have a kick ass sports program. It’s just the egomaniacs that run our? fair university seem to think one comes at the expense of the other. I’m over it. -

Not a fair comparison. Army wouldn't have to travel NEARLY 1200 miles to make that game happen! JBLM to Seattle is only a short bus ride. COME ON!RaceBannon said:Army could have moved 500,000 men to Seattle

I would have like to see another Washington-BYU game. Apparently I dislike BYU so much that I have to resort to using a Washington win from 2019 to shut them up.
Colorado had a chance to play Colorado State and they turned it down. It’s not just the conference commissioner, it’s those who let him keep his job and gave him raises and carte blanche. This conference needs proactive, sleazy leadership like the former SEC guy, not just the lazy sleazy type. Won’t happen until the ADs of the schools that matter get through to their university presidents. I think U of O’s president has begun to understand, and he didn’t know the difference between a football and a basketball until he got the job. -
The Big 10 is just as upity about they're schooling but they also play big boy ball

Well top three home attendance across the nation is Michigan, Ohio state and penn st. As well as some of the most eyes for TV. They're the bar along with SEC

Wait until you find out that the 2 gallon jug provides more glasses of milk than the 1 gallon jug.Canadawg said:Well top three home attendance across the nation is Michigan, Ohio state and penn st. As well as some of the most eyes for TV. They're the bar along with SEC
Also, the combined enrollment at those schools is almost as many future seat fillers as the entire Pac-12 North. Half of the Big Ten doesn’t give a fuck about football, the difference is that the schools that do care don’t let the other ones push them around. Nebraska bullied them into having football, and that the Pac-12 to do the same. Bored corn farmers who didn’t get intimidated by the social norms of academia are why we get this aborted fetus of a season instead of nothing. -
On the field they are behind the ACCCanadawg said:Well top three home attendance across the nation is Michigan, Ohio state and penn st. As well as some of the most eyes for TV. They're the bar along with SEC
My point is Ohio State is the only playoff team they have that can compete and they last won it in 2015
Michigan and Penn State can't FINISH -

Set the goal posts. What determines if a school cares about football? Please don't say winning because Nebraska cares more about football then most programs in the countryRatherBeBrewing said:
