Anyone else feel like the Pac 12 is kinda slowly dying? I mean I don’t know

Yes. It’s plainly obvious. It’s a dying league.

Woke politics will continue to strangle that league into irrelevance.

Beautifully ironic that the culture that has kept us out is what will kill it.

I think this is confirmation bias from people who care too much about politics.

johnnybyu

This might be true. Attendance is down across all sports on the West coast.

Football runs things. And football is a South thing.

Unfortunately no. People still love sports more than they should and once the ebb becomes a flow they'll be fine.

shimmy

11/14/21 10:00pm

But how many of the current students at P12 institutions will continue to identify with their school through sports?

not significantly less than the past in my opinion.

Not sure pac 12 has never had attendance issues like this. The pac 12 network

Definitely need a new TV deal. I'd love the PAC 12 to die. I hope it does. I'm not optimistic about it happening.

How will a new TV deal help? Will there suddenly be a big step up in interest in watching PAC12 football games (that

Oregon/USC etc jumping ship for the Big 10 would be bad for Utah, but also for college football and for BYU

Maybe I’m missing something but I don’t see this correlation at all. Not to mention, doesn’t the Big 10 and ACC also

Zach Morris

11/14/21 10:43pm

There is more of an emphasis on academics in the PAC-12 for sure

CougarGregor

11/14/21 11:46pm

Big 10 and PAC12 are the strongest academic conferences; ACC maybe slightly behind
