DuckSense 166 Share Posted July 19 I honestly believe a lot of efforts are going on behind the scenes on behalf of the Pac-12 and I think a Pac-12 / B12 merger would have worked had the B12 not already added BYU, Cincinnati, Houston and UCF after losing Texas and Oklahoma. It just feels like from all these articles the Pac-12(minus USC and UCLA) doesn't have alot of leverage / value when it comes to media rights. https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/34264518/sources-big-12-pac-12-partner-talks-officially-end Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDucksFan 48 Share Posted July 19 And the Pac-12 sinks even lower. Thanks to Larry Scott and all those who kept him in office. And you can also thank the University of Oregon for not raising a flag and speaking out about it, just being a "yes man", during Scott's reign. Like it or not, it's the responsibility of every school to raise flags when needed and that need was there for many years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TV markets: Seattle, Portland, Salt Lake City, Denver, Phoenix, Bay Area -- those are pretty good media markets. Something will happen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something will happen. Because nothing has happened by now, I think it's doubtful anything will. Looks like the "Oregon Brand" isn't worth as much as many thought it is. Unless, of course Collage Football is not really about Collage Football anymore. Maybe the minor league is the only place you can find real Collage sports, as many of us would like it to be, again. Is the Pac going to go the way of the Mountain West, and teams only play on national TV as the visiting team for warm up games of others ?? Sad, very sad.

I think it is over for the big10 - at least until we toward the end of the season. The Oregon brand is still good - but money is better. The rest of the big10 does not want Oregon, Washington, and Stanford kicking their butts and making them lose. If the conference became, Ohio St, USC, Oregon - and Penn St, Mich, Mich St, Wisconsin, Iowa all got knocked down, they wouldn't like it. As it is, USC will be only one loss for said teams and they will beat up on UCLA, so they have it just the way they like it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don't think the contenders in the Big-10 are worried about Oregon, Washington, and Stanford kicking their butts. Not in the least.
