WTF?
I was thinking that goat skulls had kind of a USC Frat initiation vibe to it.

Things are most likely going to be quiet till after the 21st of this month.
Once no deal has been presented after the PAC Media Day has come and gone, the action could start.
Copy and paste from where ?It's quicker to just copy-n-paste "the action is going to start in the next two weeks."
You may ask yourself, is tomorrow the day? And you may ask yourself, this is not my beautiful media rights deal. Well.

The argument is simple. Do we take the money and stability (not exposure, come on) with the B12 and align with schools we don’t want to associate with now or in the future vs stay with schools we DO want to align today and tomorrow with but might stiff us down the road and leave us behind. The money will likely be the same in both places.
Not to get all Morpheus about it but those are the topics (money, exposure) that the B12 wants to side track our logic with and bait us. Both will be there in the P12. This is a battle of stability and peace of mind vs rolling the dice w/ schools that have aspirations. The same aspirations we have as well.
PAC should be celebrating what could be an incredible upcoming season with USC, Washington, Oregon and Utah all thinking they can take the conference.Well you know the P12 media days is going to be in about two weeks.
Need to have a deal that gets Oregon-Washington (or Prime vs everyone) on linear television. Streaming can be the new P12N.The argument is simple.

You stuck up hillbillies think you know everything!bs $ and especially exposure will not be there w the pac. Late night games and streaming is not exposure!
why do you hate america?bs $ and especially exposure will not be there w the pac. Late night games and streaming is not exposure!
The continent?why do you hate america?

But the elephant in the room will take over if no deal is in sight.
While this is funny, I live here. They are actually hyped about the team now. They just hated being in the American. Most consider it minor league football.UH will do better this year because the visiting team will have far more fans than their previous conference teams.
UW President Ana Mari Cauce will no longer be chairing the Pac-12 Board of Directors. Most takes I'm seeing from U Dub folks seem to be that she's a good President but is out of her element with media deals and related things, so this is probably something that needed to happen.
But if it's true that it's going to be Wazzu's Schultz, I'm not loving that at all. His public comments about the new deal and the WSU budget were not a ringing endorsement for him.
yeah, i admit, this isn't a good look. if the uw president wasn't any good at media deals, wtf was she doing being the chair for the last year?They've supposedly been working on a media deal for over a year and they are just now making changes to the BOD. Cool cool

Good thing about Schulz is he is highly motivated to get a good deal, as without it Wazzu is hosed. Bad thing is I think he's kindof a dink, and his desperation shows.
Believe it or not, I really don't want the Pac to fall apart. It's terrible what the BIG and SEC are doing to CFB, and if I had my way there would be regional conferences with 10 teams (I love the round robin schedule, especially in basketball). But what's done is done, and ISU has been in that **** situation of not having a P5 landing spot enough times that I'm not sympathetic anymore, and if poaching the Pac helps the Big XII, so be it.
There have been enough arrogant Pac 12 (and others obviously) who have laughed at the Big XII throughout all this stuff, and I'd be lying if I said it didn't make me chuckle to see you guys floundering and the Big XII with some stability. Be honest: if the Big XII were taking this long on their media deal, many of you would be laughing their asses off and celebrating the fact that the ditched that conference. This year's media days might be more entertaining then last years.
Kindof too bad, since I think the Pac will be pretty good again, and this is going to be a huge distraction form the accomplishments of the coaches and players. Wonder where GK will go shopping this year?
I'd like to see us go back to 10 team conferences as well. It would have been better if the NCAA managed the rights and did it on behalf of all conferences. That lack of centralization has created this steaming pile of ****.Good thing about Schulz is he is highly motivated to get a good deal, as without it Wazzu is hosed.
