  Interesting article. Maybe the league would have gotten the necessary TV money if the resurgence had been 2 or 3 years ago rather than this year.

  3 years ago they shut down their own conference.

  Well the B1G did trick us into doing it. Kind of a brilliant move on their part.

  Pac-12 was still focused on this nonsense in 2021.

  "If an institution is unable to play a contest through its own fault, it shall forfeit such contest to its opponent," the release stated.
  
  "Nine of the 12 schools in the conference are requiring vaccinations for all students.
  
  This could create a competitive advantage for the programs that are able to avoid outbreaks during the upcoming season."

  Yes, the transfer portal has solved the talent drain from the west.
  
  SEC is not stockpiling as much and the B1G frankly sucks.
  
  PAC could have established itself as the real #2 league.
