Should the Pac-12 move to an 8-game schedule if the B1G does?

Yes, plus they'd funnel the apparel contract money to them instead of it being direct compensation from the university.
I'm saying coaches might like that extra 3-4 hours without it counting as the weekly team time that is highly regulated.

Doesn’t make a ****. Go look up what Wilcox’s official salary is right now, then compare that to what he actually earned. Cal has plenty of ways to pay the coach regardless of what the “salary” is listed as.
They might as well close down their programs. Wow

See my last post. This is not an actual issue at all. Wilcox’s “salary” is something like $250,000 right now. Then he gets about $1.5 million in “talent fees.”

The juicy OOC matchups of old were awesome.
1990 Tennessee #8, Stanford, Illinois#21, Texas#20
1991 Baylor #25, Minnesota, Stanford
1992 Baylor, Minnesota, Iowa,
1993 Texas, Baylor#24, Stanford #20, Miami #3
1994 Wiscy #10, Mich #4, Texas #16
1995 Wiscy
1996 Wash St. Michi,
I know that would be nearly impossible to comprehend moving forward but damn those were some great OOC matchups. I have ALWAYS been a fan of 8 OOC, BUT there has to be guidelines. If everyone moved to 8 there should be 2 games against other P5 teams and then whatever else floats your boat. If any conference needed the exposure its the Pac by a mile! There will be up and down years but you go out east and WIN and that stuff will be remembered throughout the year. The east coast bias is there but they can't play that card when the Pac shows up in the OOC and does well.
Plus the home and home games. Who wouldn't want to visit the grove, OR LSU on a Saturday night. There are many, many others with rich traditions. I recall several posters saying how cool the Georgia fans were in 2006 and they all loved Ralphie. Anyways having a couple P5 OOC opponents every year would make things ALOT more fun.

If we went to 8 as a result of them going to 8, I'd want Nebraska on the schedule at least five times in 10 years.
What the Hell for? We are playing them twice in the next two years and those jackasses are already popping up out of seemingly nowhere. Time to put them in their box and throw it in the ocean.
This is a critical thing for us in my opinion. If we continue to do solid recruiting in Texas, then we need to have those players have a chance to play near home. I would be in favor of the 8 game conference schedule, and then I would be sure to play in Texas or Oklahoma every year if possible. We should play A&M, Houston, Rice, TCU, Texas Tech, Oklahoma, and Oklahoma State, etc. Plenty of good options. We have California covered. As much as I hate Nebraska, we do not need to play CSU or Nebraska because there is not any recruiting advantage there.
Because we like seeing our buffs play Nebraska, more than anyone else.
Speak for yourself. The nubs can go piss up a rope as far as I’m concerned. I see no reason to legitimize their schedule by appearing on it.
You are one of the only ones with that opinion though. 99% of the fan base loves he game, just look at the ticket sales.
This issue is emotional vs practical vs best practices
Playing and beating Nebraska is awesome
Playing and beating CSU is meh
Positioning this program to be successful with a game in Oklahoma or Texas every year is brilliant and intelligent
Folks get emotional thinking about playing the Chuckers and hopefully beating them, but it has no recruiting or national value right now
Folks are emotional wanting to be sure we always show the Rammies that they are a little brother and should always get slapped around
Practical fans that want long term success would be happy without either team on the schedule ever, but if all you emotional fans want these games on the schedule, then alternate 2 year series between CSU and NU with one game slot, and then set up the Oklahoma/Texas games in another slot, and then 1-2 lower level home games to balance out a good schedule if we were to go to an 8 game league schedule. Obviously you should have home and home high quality games with the Texas and Oklahoma teams you set up.
I don’t want to play CSU ever again, let me make that clear. I would pick playing Nebraska every single year for eternity over any other team though.

This is still a rivalry-theres a reason why Nebraska is the first old Big 12 team we scheduled, and vice versa. These games are going to sell out....easily. Theres a combination of hate and nostalgia that is there on both sides, and I'd argue we don't currently have a rival right now.
