The worst possible option besides Larry Scott himself.

You mean Hair is the best option for that joke of a conference

WDaddy

Jan 21, 8:38am

Please yes.

And he deserves them. He thought BYU and BSU were demanding. Just wait 'till he deals with PAC schools. LOL

Soupie

Jan 21, 8:49am

I hope they hire a SJW that will give in to all the players' demands and it

Unibro

Jan 21, 8:58am

Well, the PAC-12 wants someone with media savvy, so I don't think that fits him.

CopperLix

Jan 21, 8:15am

LOL, he'll turn the PAC-12 network into the MTN.

Already been done by Scott

It will be called the Ocn.

Pablo Bot

A match made in heaven. The PAC-12 and Craig Thompson.

rivercitycoug

Jan 21, 8:16am

Easily the most logical move. He's a much better fit than Larry Scott was.

Any problem that the PAC10 has, hair Thompson is sure to make worse

hdx57

Jan 21, 10:24am

Care to elaborate on the systemic problems the PAC has that no commissioner can

RUNBYU1

Jan 21, 11:45am

Culture and geography.

shoganai

Jan 21, 2:03pm

But shouldn't they still do whatever they can within that framework

krindorr

Jan 21, 2:11pm

Nobody said they aren't trying.

Funny Jake “Kalanis Calves”

Maybe Thompson could get them a TV deal with Comcast...

New, multi-million dollar re-branding logo after his hire:

They really need to hire a transgender individual. So this qualifies

Not good for BYU if Craig Thompson gets the job. He doesn’t like BYU. But BYU

BlooCoog

Jan 21, 8:35am

Nah. Would be minimal impact

TNT

Jan 21, 8:36am

Would Thompson be eager to schedule BYU?

BlooCoog

Jan 21, 8:47am

What is he going to do? Dissuade teams from scheduling BYU?

TNT

Jan 21, 8:50am

Yes, exactly that. See the SEC and others whose commissioners have pushed fewer

BlooCoog

Jan 21, 8:52am

Given his history, that is exactly what he would do

hdx57

Jan 21, 10:27am

BYU isn't getting into the PAC12 regardless of the commissioner.

ldssdl

Jan 21, 8:36am

Did you read the post?

mudpupper

Jan 21, 8:39am

The answer is obvious for anyone that did read the post.

dratax

Jan 21, 8:42am

Please read my post. This is a scheduling issue, not an expansion issue.

BlooCoog

Jan 21, 8:48am

And the commissioner has nothing to do w/ OOC scheduled games. You've noticed the number of MWC games, right?

Soupie

Jan 21, 8:52am

Yikes...see the SEC and other conferences whose commissioners are pushing hard

BlooCoog

Jan 21, 9:02am

Commissioners have done things like imply no OOC games after Sept

BYUFam1

Jan 21, 9:04am

My bad, I missed it the first time. Still though, I'm not sure it would make

ldssdl

Jan 21, 10:28am

I hope you're right. It took a few years to thaw relationships with MWC teams. I

BlooCoog

Jan 21, 11:15am

PAC12 Commissioner doesn't determine schedules. That comes from each school's

BYUHgrad

Jan 21, 8:44am

Commissioner is involved in scheduling. It’s not all done at the AD level.

BlooCoog

Jan 21, 8:50am

Technically, 5% is involved, I guess...

BYUHgrad

Jan 21, 9:11am

Or 67% if they only allow OOC games scheduled during the first 4 weeks.

jvquarterback

Jan 21, 9:27am

Haven't had an issue scheduling MWC teams with him in charge.

Agaricus

Jan 21, 8:52am

He could make moves to have BYU not treated as P5 opponent in the PAC12

krindorr

Jan 21, 9:00am

At least he has experience running a conference network into the ground

astroman

Jan 21, 8:35am

And losing the best teams in his conference

volleyjiver

Jan 21, 8:39am

Talk about this being GREAT for BYU!

BYUHgrad

Jan 21, 9:14am

Several logical leaps here

krindorr

Jan 21, 9:23am

Oh, I agree. I don't think Hair will be hired, or USC will go Indy.

BYUHgrad

Jan 21, 10:04am

BOOOOOOOOOO!

imdocrob

They can do a lot better than that. He would fail

WallaX2

Jan 21, 8:50am

The #2 in charge of the SEC might work out better, whoever that is.

RC Vikings

Jan 21, 9:01am

How is this not their default solution?

CaliWG

Jan 21, 9:20am

called it.

fulano

Jan 21, 9:30am

The only thing that would be better than having Hair as the commisioner

SFarkus

Jan 21, 10:09am

You all get that this tweet is a joke, right?

BlueOptimist

Jan 21, 10:25am

You mean Kalani's Calves isn't a legit source? Noooo

Soupie

Jan 21, 10:31am

But CB likes to over-react about unsubstantiated rumors and is so good at it

hdx57

Jan 22, 7:09am

I know right. It's almost as bad as the guy that shows up to a fight 24 hrs late

whirl

Jan 22, 7:22am

It's not even April 1st yet. I hate it when people start early!
