but their policy on OOC games is ridiculous and one-sided. It just is, whether anybody chooses to take a bite at their apple or not.
It is 100% about them and 100% to their schools' benefit. Yes, we can argue about potential upsides if BYU "humbled itself" and took a chance on them. But there is no arguing that the deck is stacked against anybody that doesn't wear that stupid conference shield on their uniform.
Look, I get there is no gate to split. But asking a team to pay its way to travel with no compensation on short notice. It is all about the Pac. Which is fine, but they shouldn't whine when other people don't agree to it.
The Pac-12 offices determined that their schools really needed some OOC games to complete some semblence of a season, but they chose to not do ANYTHING for the other school. Again--that is fine, but don't whine if nobody feels like doing it their way.
