The only way Pac 12 After Dark would get ratings is if they signed a deal with tempe12.com, had live shots at frat houses around the conference and replaced Nigel Burton and Lincoln Kennedy with a rotating cast of topless coeds.Meek said:

Let’s face it. The P12N could be better by covering 98% football and 2% basketball but even that would only help so much because the league just isn’t that popular.
It’s not popular because it has teams in it like Utah, Wazzu, Oregon State, Colorado, Cal, and Arizona. Most cfb fans don’t even know those schools have football teams and will never respect them.
SC, UW, Oregon, UCLA, and Stanford (or ASU once Shaw leaves) should join up with Miami, Notre Dame, Texas and Oklahoma to make their own conference. It would be called the Non Fag conference.
The other “schools” left out would be called the Fag Conference, the Big Fag, or “We’re not like the Mountain West Everyone Says So” Conference. -
What I don't get is how stupid was Larry Scott to not for see that night games are going to equate to 10-15000 empty seats in Husky stadium. We have an older fan base that simply won't show up for those and at halftime half the student section leaves to go party. The few folks around the country that stay up to watch see a half empty stadium and rightly conclude that UW fans don't give a fuck. Doesn't help at the end of the year when UW is on the bubble for a playoff spot and the program is perceived as a not serious player.

Not trying to defend Larry Scott here. But what you're describing sounds like a UW problem, not a Pac-12 problem.whuggy said:What I don't get is how stupid was Larry Scott to not for see that night games are going to equate to 10-15000 empty seats in Husky stadium.

A Venn Diagram would show Larry Scott is both a Pac-12 problem and a UW problem.TTJ said:

Sounds like a program steep in tradition.whuggy said:What I don't get is how stupid was Larry Scott to not for see that night games are going to equate to 10-15000 empty seats in Husky stadium.

Guess what.... SEC and ACC teams have 7 PM local starts too and they don't have those problems.
I think it's because they care about Football.
And UW doesn't give a fuck when compared to Football in the South.

UW can have day games. ASU needs night games until november.
