other place that would sense to expand to is Las Vegas. And well, that comes with a ton of negatives. Plus no way the elite schools would want to be associated with UNLV.

I don't trust MHver3 at all, but he is right about one thing.

The real question is what can they do differently?

mudpupper

11/15/18 2:48pm

I probably should have stated it differently. Expansion in and of itself wasn't

Oranje

They should have never made the agreements they did with the cable companies

they're also stuck because of geography and their own elitism...

Give up the p12 network and go to an 8 game schedule. Schedule more big time OOC games and play more during the day

that will help drive viewership in time zones further east

Utah tried that, but state legislature audited them for it.

Bluegoogles

With an 8 game conference schedule, Utah can schedule an extra nice OOC game and still not destroy one of the most

I highly doubt anyone outside of the AD/school pres has the pulse on how AZ/ASU are feeling about the PAC 12.

It's been discussed a lot in the Arizona press (mainly radio). It's no secret.

I'd let Utah join the Big 12 and BYU could join the PAC 10

P12 can get new management; B12 can't get 26 million more residents

TCU fandom is tiny

I can say the same for most Pac 12 cities. Fandom is small. Fans don't care.

Population is the sole reason Rutgers and Maryland are in the Big 10

Being in the Big 10 has done nothing to help Maryland or Rutgers.
