I don't think Ashely Adamson has it on her to ask the tough questions. Get Brandi Kruse in here and she would tear him a new one.
No one on the East Coast gives two shits about the PAC 12. Ive lived there. Im speaking from experience. No one in Texas gives a shit about the PAC 12 either. Im speaking from experience. Ive lived there too. The idea that the league is trying to market itself nationwide while doing such a piss poor job in its own backyard is stupid. Win your region, then go looking for more regions.
Play all 11. Create an us against them mentality of West Coast vs everyone else. Win tv ratings in your backyard. Stop caring about everyone else. They clearly dont care about the PAC 12. When bowl games come, run the score up and talk trash.
It is time for the PAC 12 to stop playing FCS and G5 teams. No one cares. It isnt helping the brand. If you want respect you have to beat other P5 teams. No more bowls against G5 teams.
I don’t know if anyone on the West Coast really cares about the Pac12. If you go in a bar in Portland and Utah vs Arizona St is on the tele does anyone care? The South is full of 4th generation fans for OL State U and so is the Midwest (who wants to move to Iowa or Ohio for Christ sakes). The west is full of transplants. Probably more Big 10 alums in So Cal than the 4 NW schools combined.
I would argue this.... no one cares because the schools dont care. If the university isnt going to make it a big deal, why would anyone else? Signaling starts at the top. If you want 4th generation fans you had to start caring and spending $ a long time ago. Which PAC 12 schools have done that?

Ted Bundy watched the 1978 Rose Bowl from a bar while on the lam.Folks in the south regularly murder friends over insufficient anger over a loss. You aren't competing with that lack of perspective.

Well I would say it isn't a religion. There are folks in teh SEC if they had a choice between health care and the biggest football game a year, they may actually think about how they would spend there money.
LA vs Tuscaloosa... what other sports and entertainment is going on? You could probably say that about many other SEC schools. It is just a different culture.

It's great but it should only be one game a week.
I miss the days when there was a 12:30 ABC game of the week, a 1:00, 4:00 and 7:00 start.P12 After Dark was a huge meme that the conference finally relented into leaning into. But there should be no more than one 7p game each week. And no 7:30/:45/8p games. I don't even enjoy watching the late games, and I probably skew on the younger end of the crowd here. I'm more likely to watch a 9a game over a 7p game.
Ted Bundy, Christine Gregoire, and Jay Inslee were all undergrads at the UW when Husky football coach Jim Owens was requiring loyalty oaths from black players after they revolted against his racism.Ted Bundy was a nobody. Like most Huskies only known for his crimes.
