And WCC destinations are better than both. Who cares, any port.

Is it really that smart if they made it years after it should have been obvious?

^this. Unbelievable it took this long.

No commissioner can fix that crappy conference. They don’t have a strong fan

3 teams do. Washington. Oregon. USC

Add UCLA to that - The greater LA area is divided into UCLA and USC fans

OGSuperfan

Poor fan base and bad time zone. Can’t fix it.

The PAC 12 dominates California, Oregon, Washington and Arizona

cant fix the conference because the presidents are bigots

Count Cougar

Bad take. It’s the Conference of Champions

Swishfromdeep3

1/20/21 9:58pm

Probably the right call. Conference is pretty stagnant

The Pope

1/20/21 7:46pm

In other words, the wrong call

LiveCoug

I don’t follow...

The Pope

1/20/21 7:54pm

I'm guessing he wants that conference to continue to fail.

How about this guy? I think he’d be great.

Don’t want to lose Holmoe, but he has P10 connections and it would be a good in

Hodor

I thumbs upped this not because I like that someone lost their job, but because this was a move that needed to

specsauce

I wonder if they’ll do the next obvious smart thing and move headquarters out of downtown San Francisco

YIsForBrigham

Crap. Their quest for irrelevance will be ending soon.

Nope but your close

Why would the B12 want anything to do with utah?
