    this one is particularly funny to me...you have a shitty product that is literally not sellable and then you fire all the sales staff. never has a thing to do with the guy who created the product.

    It's usually the death knell when a company starts downsizing the sales force

    The PAC 12 ADs need to demand that the network be packaged and peddled to FSN or NBCSN.

    Take the top 2 programs out of any conference and they look pretty damn mediocre.

    Kansas

    Texas Tech
    Baylor
    TCU

    Yeah, we can quibble about which ACC Florida school to remove and who leaves the SEC with Bama, but every one of those conferences takes a hit without two top schools and only the SEC looks formidable without it's top programs.

    The Pacs real problem isn't how bad it looks without the LA schools, it's how bad it looks without USC. We can argue whether UCLA is the second most important Pac program but it's at least in the discussion, and is far less significant than the number two in any of these other conferences.
    Ummm. UCLA is the 2nd most important program in the PAC 12, and the only other that’s close is Oregon.

    Despite your runner up finishes in Rowboat and Softball, you aren’t really that important nor influential to the PAC 12 athletically. No one gives a fuck about who finished 2nd in the PAC 12 north or a Rose Bowl won 20 years ago against a 4 loss team.

    UW has the coach and has been in big games.

    It's UW and SC.

    Oregon is dead to everyone outside of the nw

    Always a good time when some coog thinks UW doesn't matter to the package 12, being in the heart of Seattle. It's not like espn ignored Petersen's gripes last.

    UCLA could matter more but they're too much of a joke.

    So a team that hasn’t won a major bowl in close to 20 years and has never been to a Final Four is important to the PAC 12.

    Look the PAC 12 sucks. But not nearly like that.

    Say what you want about Oregon but they’ve won 4 major bowl games since you have and went to the Final Four in 2017.
