Larry Scott & the Pac-12 need to do something

The football bowl season was embarrassing.

The NCAA tournament just saw only 3 teams get in with all being out by the end of the first day.

Pac-12 is a national joke.

Only "major" conference that DirecTV doesn't see any value to carry... and it looks like they're right.

Desperation time to get this fixed.
 
Oh, he's already at a cocktail party padding his expense account (or someone else's). He'll be on First Class to LA on Monday.
 
Liking this whole thread (thus far at least). I loved how Larry handled the whole Pac 10 to Pac 12 expansion thing that included us and the Utes ... but his negotiations with national "broadcast" media has sucked in the past few years and it's time to for new leadership.The national profile of the Pac 12 is far less than it should be.
 
Clearly the conference needs to maintain its arrogance.

Boise State wins almost every time when they play Pac-12 teams. But the Pac-12 is too good for them.

BYU would have the 4th largest football stadium and the largest basketball arena in the Pac. National title & Heisman winner. National brand. Pac-12 is too good for them.

This is the conference that voted not to extend invites to Oklahoma and Oklahoma State because OSU was beneath it.

Instead, the Pac-12 wants to try to build a rep as the western Ivy League and promote non-revenue sports and its titles in those while failing to compete in the money sports.

Pac 12 official suckiness puts them at the line twice as many times as they did today I would guess...makes the teams weak.

What, you aren't thrilled with the Pac12 putting 5 teams into the second round of the NIT?

What would you recommend?
 
Maybe it's a good thing we got out of the Big XII. That (crappy) conference went 2-1 yesterday and has Texas, KSU, West Virginia, and TCU playing today.

Restructuring PACN to start. Revenue issue is almost entirely due to PACN, not the ESPN/FoxSports deal. Streamline, develop apps, have most Olympic sport coverage student-produced like B1G, etc.

I’d also spread games out with strategic scheduling for football and MBB. Football to get games staggered so every game is either national or PACN - even if that means weekly PACN games on Thu & Fri nights. But plan byes so it is fair.

With MBB, be willing to play on Mon & Tue. No reason not to for the 2 rivalry games each team has in conference play when there’s only 1 game that week.

Create “events”. Signing Days, feature games for Olympic sports, etc. Add eSports with campus competitions.

Scheduling alliances with other conferences.

Consider adding BYU for every sport other than football right now. See if UNLV, Boise State, SDSU and New Mexico would be interested in that. Look hard at Houston as a 13th member with BYU having a Notre Dame situation with a FB scheduling alliance (or just go full BYU membership).

See what it would take to get PACN on Mexican and Canadian cable networks. (B1G is in Canada.)

Improve bowl tie ins.

Move corporate HQ to Vegas or Phoenix for cost savings.

Direct officiating to allow a more physical style of play in FB and MBB.
 
It's not even that Arizona lost, they got slapped around. Embarrassing. Oh and **** you Larry Scott.

I agree with all of this other than the expansion part. If we want BYU, bring them in as a full member - football and all. That would create a problem for us, though. Who is our travel partner?
 
Will be interesting to see how the conference rebounds in basketball. Lost 6 first round draft picks and 7 in the top 35 last year but there is no excuse for downturns at UCLA and Arizona, those schools recruit well enough every year to maintain. The conference needs Arizona and UCLA to get back to being top 15 every year but where is was really hurt this year is in the middle. Washington, Stanford, Oregon and Cal just have to be better, plain and simple. Those schools were hurt by coaching changes, draft picks, etc. but it was a bad year. No school located in the bay area should ever finish last in the conference like Cal did.
