BlooCoog All-American

needs the PAC-12 to fill out our schedule with respectable opponents. Not good if this happens.

The worst possible option besides Larry Scott himself.

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

WDaddy

Please yes.

Burn it to the ground

Archaea

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

Soupie

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

Unibro

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

CopperLix

1/21/21 8:15am

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

bluecheese

Already been done by Scott

fulano

It will be called the Ocn.

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

rivercitycoug

1/21/21 8:16am

Pac 12 doesn't have many fans so if he pushed them further into oblivion

Lip Gallagher

1/21/21 8:17am

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

1/21/21 10:24am

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

RUNBYU1

1/21/21 11:45am

Culture and geography.

shoganai

1/21/21 2:03pm

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

krindorr

1/21/21 2:11pm

Nobody said they aren't trying.

The gift that keeps on giving

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

TNT

1/21/21 8:34am

Nothing says must-have commissioner like ticking off your cash cow schools

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

BlooCoog

1/21/21 8:35am

Nah. Would be minimal impact

TNT

1/21/21 8:36am

Would Thompson be eager to schedule BYU?

BlooCoog

1/21/21 8:47am

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

TNT

1/21/21 8:50am

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

BlooCoog

1/21/21 8:52am

Given his history, that is exactly what he would do

hdx57

1/21/21 10:27am

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

ldssdl

1/21/21 8:36am

Did you read the post?

mudpupper

1/21/21 8:39am

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

dratax

1/21/21 8:42am

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

BlooCoog

1/21/21 8:48am

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

Soupie

1/21/21 8:52am

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

BlooCoog

1/21/21 9:02am

Commissioners have done things like imply no OOC games after Sept

BYUFam1

1/21/21 9:04am

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

ldssdl

1/21/21 10:28am

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

BlooCoog

1/21/21 11:15am

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

BYUHgrad

1/21/21 8:44am

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

BlooCoog

1/21/21 8:50am

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

BYUHgrad

1/21/21 9:11am

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

jvquarterback

1/21/21 9:27am

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

Agaricus

1/21/21 8:52am

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

krindorr

1/21/21 9:00am

As others said, he's not controlling that.

Lip Gallagher

1/21/21 10:27am

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

astroman

1/21/21 8:35am

And losing the best teams in his conference

volleyjiver

1/21/21 8:39am

Talk about this being GREAT for BYU!

BYUHgrad

1/21/21 9:14am

Several logical leaps here

krindorr

1/21/21 9:23am

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

BYUHgrad

1/21/21 10:04am

BOOOOOOOOOO!

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

WallaX2

1/21/21 8:50am

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

RC Vikings

1/21/21 9:01am

How is this not their default solution?

CaliWG

1/21/21 9:20am

called it.

fulano

1/21/21 9:30am

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

SFarkus

1/21/21 10:09am

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

BlueOptimist

1/21/21 10:25am

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

Soupie

1/21/21 10:31am

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

hdx57

1/22/21 7:09am

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

whirl

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