Pac12 Network gets a shout out too for its most interesting and popular part of last season!!
"The Pac-12 Networks delivered its most-watched Facebook Live video ever during the Sept. 2 USC postgame press conference, which featured blind long-snapper Jake Olson who played in the Trojan's 49-31 win over Western Michigan. FOX Sports also reported a Pac-12 Networks production, highlighting Olson's snap on FOX Sports' Facebook page, ranked as one of their most-viewed videos of the 2017 season with 2.7 million views. Click here to watch the video."
so, there you have it sports fans...the Pac12 Network's only real contribution to the national college football conversation was a Facebook livestream of a blind center getting his make-a-wish moment.
I'm sure there are a lot of good reasons why Larry Scott is the highest paid commissioner in the land, but I just don't get to see them unless I'm visiting China or Australia.

CFB is the best sport in the world. Well, at least the US. I don’t like soccer much, but I do recognize that outside of the US it’s pretty amazing...
Inside the US here’s CFB and everything else. It will continue to grow in popularity.
Because there are 120+ teams no one team gets as much attention as an NFL team and the lack of a concentrated league effort to popularize players etc limits the amount of hype it can get... yet it’s still tremendously popular and supported in random places where pro teams could never exist. Tuscaloosa???
Anyway, I love CFB. That’s my point. -

Larry Scott is thrilled that he is the catalyst to that.RaceBannon said:Jake Olsen is driving the pace car at this weeks NASCAR race

Is it truck racing or regular racing? If it's truck racing then that's all kinds of FREE PUB for the conference!RaceBannon said:Jake Olsen is driving the pace car at this weeks NASCAR race

And I will be as devastated as you. -
Have you met a single person that has stopped watching football because of CTE? I don’t think I have. I bet the anthem protests got more people to stop watching than any CTE hot talk. I know that’s a NFL issue, but still.TTJ said:

Everyone pretends they care so much about the safety of the players, but they really don’t. Everyone still watches and mostly everyone still enjoys a big hit.
As I’ve said before. The kids who won’t be allowed to play football because mommy is scared for their brain were never the types to play big time college football anyways. -
Epidemiologically, we're only just now seeing the tip of the iceberg. Football as we know it won't exist in 20 years.

Subscriptions have never been higher -
Better and safer equipment will be made to counter that. Players won’t be able to get away with no knee pads, tail pads, the helmets will be completely different. Won’t be able to wear receiver shoulder pads as a D end.TTJ said:Epidemiologically, we're only just now seeing the tip of the iceberg. Football as we know it won't exist in 20 years.
The money will do what it has to to keep the sport going. -
LOL! Good luck the rest of the way!TTJ said:Epidemiologically, we're only just now seeing the tip of the iceberg. Football as we know it won't exist in 20 years.
