PAC 12 championship game

Good move.

How much longer until UNLV gets a conference invite? Seems like the conference is gravitating towards Vegas more and more. I’m not complaining, but that would appear to be the next step in the process.

I could live with Vegas. Probably require another school for even numbers.

One of the things I actually like about the Pac is that most away games are in desirable destinations.
 
Home field advantage, potential weather issues, late notice on where the game will be, seems really small time, and Vegas is better than having it on campus anyways.

Maybe a full stadium trumps all these? I have no problem with a Vegas championship game, as long as the stadium is full. I'll guess they'll get more fans in the seats in Vegas than Santa Clara.

I would rather have a 75% full stadium in Vegas than a full stadium on campus.
 
And compete in what time slot? The ratings are actually reasonably good on Friday night.
Don't you think the Pac-12 should be in the last time slot on Saturday night? The ACC is a conference based on the East Coast so why shouldn't they have one of the earlier time slots? I think in the perfect world they should do:
ACC: Noon ET
SEC: 2 PM ET
Big-12: 4 PM ET
Big-10: 6 PM ET
Pac-12: 8 PM ET

How is it done now? Is there overlap with the various CCG on Saturday?
 
Current contract is worth 750-1 million per year to each school per the report. This could be big time, Vegas needs something marquee it can market. 5 year deal at 125 million would be awesome but maybe I’m thinking too much.

I would think the pac 12 would want to get that to around 2 million a school. Now that includes a marquee out of conference game and the bowl game moving up in the pecking order to right behind the Alamo bowl.

Yeah that was my thought as well which is where I got the 125 figure. 12x2=24 x5 = 120, then I just made it 25.
 
More Pac12 conference news. Immediate reaction is that this, along with moving the Championship game feel like positives:



BTW I didn't see a catch all thread for conference news. Did I just miss it?
