It's a really sad day. There's not a good answer here. Stay in the Pac-12 and you're tying yourself to a budget that might leave you hamstrung 5 years from now. Go to the Big Ten, you're abandoning the Cougs and becoming a junior, geographically dislocated member of a more affluent conference. It sucks.
Maybe George "Baghdad Bob" Kliavkoff will just keep things business as usual. I put it at 60:40 odds he pushes some ads celebrating the season finale of the Pac12, both to up ticket revenue and offload the remaining Pac12 merch before it's obselete.
I’m deeply saddened by the death of the Pac-10 as I fondly remember it. Why do we even bother to call this college sports anymore? I love America wouldn’t want to even think of another economic system but it seems that it’s failing us when we have no guardrails against protecting ourselves from this sort of capitalism. I also think this is very short sighted thinking but without USC and UCLA it’s inevitable. College football is very much a regional thing and we just lost it.
Thanks Danny for the great read on this sad day #GoDawgs

Conferences usually get to run a feel-good ad during TV games. Wonder what Pac12’s will be like this season?

I was thinking maybe some video montage set to Frank Sinatra’s “My Way” or Peggy Lee’s “Is That All There Is”.
