Did the pac-2 really deserve their fate?
Pretty sure some exec rejected a pretty nice TV deal thinking he could get more and came up empty handed
>>140305288They stuck with Larry Scott long past the point where it was obvious he was damaging the conference.
>>140305521It was intentional. He was a trojan horse sent from the Big 10
there will never be kino again like pac 12 after darkRest in peace, old friend
>>140305633The Pac2 on the CW will be a new kind of kino though
>>140305521This really was the Pac’s problem. Scott destroyed the conference and made tens of millions in the process
>did they deserve it Yes they did. All that matters is money and viewership. Two little brother agricultural schools in the middle of nowhere pacific northwest were never getting a chance at a real conference in the current era
>>140305521years ago, there was a story about larry wanting to sell a piece of the conference's media rights to private equity. never went anywhere, but in retrospect, it would've saved the conference. granted, larry would've used the money to buy himself a box at wimbledon or something, but the conference would've been glued together.
>>140307967>The Pac2 on the CWlmao
>>140305288Threadly reminder if Washington State and Oregon State made it to the Big 12 (which they are actually rumored to be making good strides to with home/home games set with Big 12 schools and might be top target if the ACC only partially collapses) then not a single person would be crying about the death of the PAC
>>140305288Yes completely self inflicted
The University of Rio Grande is adding football and a marching band in 2025. This is different than the University of Texas-Rio Grande Valley, which is also adding football in 2025.
>>140316619What is the fucking point
>>140320241Men. Like many schools, URG is more than 60% female. Schools are happy more women are attending university but unhappy that more men have started avoiding it entirely. URG is an NAIA school so it probably doesn't have athletic scholarships, which reduces the cost significantly, especially for Title IX compliance. School administrators think if they have extensive athletics programs, especially football, young men will be attracted to the school. At the NAIA level, it probably doesn't do much other than increase enrollment by the number of athletes on the teams but school administrators are fine with gambling with other people's money.
Derek Dooley and private equity funds are trying to create a G5 playoff. The current G5 conferences would be dissolved and play in a unified conference made up of eight divisions of eight teams each. With Delaware and Kennesaw State joining CUSA, this pushes the number of G5 teams to 66 (including indies UMass, UConn but obviously not Notre Dame). Two teams will have to be dropped or some system other than eight divisions of eight teams will need to be used.
At least the next years of the pac 2 will be fun. Good mix of random p5 and g5 games.
>FTC bans noncompete agreements, making it easier for workers to quitThis is being cheered on by the liberals who keep going on about paying players but this is going to end up hilariously backfiring. Because in college sports to "pay players" they will be employees, and that will mean they can take unlimited transfers, even during the middle of the season
>>140305288https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuvEJ-U1UDc
>>140321679The NCAA has already approved unlimited transfers with immediate eligibility. Midseason transfers won't happen as long as players have to be students as you can't transfer between schools midterm. This does open the possibility of transferring between the regular season and the post-season.
>>140320918I remember when my university gave a huge speech at graduation about "FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HISTORY OUR GRADUATING CLASS IS MAJORITY FEMALE" and everyone clapped and that it was a big deal. Little did they know where things would lead.
>>140305288Yes.Imagine letting just one of the Commiefornia schools veto any decision they felt like.Just asking for what happened to happen. They really should have learned from the demise of the original Pacific Coast Conference tbqh desu senpaitachi.
>>140305633Big10 and Big12 After Dark just won't be the same desu
>>140321939The point being is because we need to "pay players or this is heckin modern slavery" that they will soon be employees, not students. Which means they will be under those contracts and not required to stay a whole season as those type of contracts are now forbidden, such as if Texas wants to poach the best players from a Big 10 school halfway through the seasonMid-season poaching and transfers will happen within the next 10 years as players are now employees
>>140325110You still haven't explained how someone can enroll in classes half way through a semester. And the point you did make is moronic because even back in the 1800s players could quit halfway through a season. Try giving things a few seconds of thought before you shit all over the place.
>>140329329>You still haven't explained how someone can enroll in classes half way through a semester.What point can't you get through your skull that they will soon be labeled by the Supreme Court as employees and not students of the schools and will not have to go to or pretend to go to classes ever?
The Pac-12 Network was a giant fiasco and they were always in more competition with pro-sports than other leagues because all but 2 of their universities are in major US cities. (Literally 2 in LA, 2 in the Bay, 1 in Seattle, 1 in Salt Lake City, 1 in Denver, 1 in Phoenix, 1 in Tucson and the only close to non urban campuses are the ones who are left) no other major conference came close to this kind of urbanized two college towns out of 12 colleges The Big 10's universities are mostly located in smaller cities without pro teams, pro teams didn't expand into the south until decades after they had expanded to the West Coast so the culture is very engrained.
>>140322869What year was this?
remember what they took from you
>>140323447How do you generate this female anime mascots for the teams?
Utah State should just take that Mormon exile money and buy the rights to the PAC. Washington State, Oregon State, and Utah State can broker some agreement that brings in some WAC teams. I assume the automatic berth is purchasable.
