They sure have, for like 25 years in a row.The PAC had the worst officials in the P5, it'll actually be an upgrade for them.
They're a legend in their own minds. Notoriously boorish and arrogant here in Charlotte. At least Clemson and even UNC handled this w/ a smidgen of class. FSU still acts like Bobby Bowden is gonna walk through that door. Typical, wacky Floridian attitudes.For all of their talk and bluster, who exactly is knocking down the door to get FSU?
According to a few friends who went to PAC 12 schools, their officiating is horrendous. So they’ll feel right at home.
It's behind the. scones, and it is NIOT al about getting FSU. FSU is just the easily riled idiot they can manipulate. THE plan is to make certain that no conference can ever be a truly Major conference other than BT and SEC. That can only happen if the ACC is reduced - because Pac is about dead, and Big 12 is seriously reduced.For all of their talk and bluster, who exactly is knocking down the door to get FSU?
Yup!Tomcat, when we hit Berkeley or Palo alto I’ll grab tee times at Pebble Beach and Spy Glass …. You In ??
My wife is a University of Washington alum, can confirm how awful their officiating has been.The PAC had the worst officials in the P5, it'll actually be an upgrade for them.
They are banking on the Big 10 deciding they want a Florida presenceFor all of their talk and bluster, who exactly is knocking down the door to get FSU?
The same guy who kvetched when SU went to the ACC and then pushed and was thrilled when Louisville did the same. He's such a hypocrite.

hard to do with no tv rights dealI think Oregon State and Washington state should keep the PAC brand. They need 5 new schools for next season. I would take USF, ECU, Memphis, Tulane, UTSA for next year. Then 4 MWC teams for 2025 (San Diego State, Fresno State, Boise State, Colorado State). They would need one more to get to 12 though. Not sure who works best. Maybe a team in the East to get to 6 and 6, East vs West.
Haven’t caught up yet. But just spitballing numbers. This does not include ACC network price for California or Texas increasing. Which could be substantial.
Syracuse received roughly 40 million last year. With projections only expected to increase over the next several years.
Based on this last years numbers and early reports, Stanford and cal will get 30% for 7 years. That is 12 million for them, 28 million for ACC per team.
SMU is going 9 years with no payment!!! That’s 40 million to the ACC.
Obviously some will be taken off the top for traveling costs. But that is roughly 96 million dollars the ACC has to split up among the other members not including any ACC network money that the ACC owns 50/50.
I’m still not totally on board with this plan/teams. But I’m not sure what FSU, Clemson, UNC can complain about. They just significantly upgraded the dollar value of the media contracts.
They are annoyed because they are out numbered and the traveling. But they kept saying how they needed more money. Well now they have access to it.

Truthfully, I want it to be 1985 again, but it's not, so this had to be doneYour missing the forest from the trees. Bigger picture, the landscape has changed. And the college sports world has changed.
IF you don't get NIL, point is you CAN though. And because of that, more travel is involved.
Nobody is forcing any 18, 19, or 20 year old to play college sports. They know what they are signing up for and the travel involved. Don't sign up and complain about it after the fact.
May sound harsh, and cruel but literally its reality. Dick Vital wants it to be 1985 again and to romance what college sports "was". It's like, bro, look around those days are dead and buried and ain't coming back. Even using the term student-athlete is kind of outdated.
the pac 12 still owes comcast moneyDoes the PAC name have any tangible assets left to it?
There's obviously no tv, but are they still P5/BCS/whatever on paper? They probably won't put a team in the playoffs, but could still be eligible for better payouts (from?) or remnant bowl game ties. I don't even know how the Rose Bowl works anymore.
