PAC-12 status and media rights deal

[BattleHawks]

i am wondering if they will lower their academic standards and invite previously unacceptable turd schools like Boise State and Fresno State

they might have to

an all APPLE is not ideal, but to be honest, it's what everyone has been expecting for over a year now

i still think they will be reduced to 6, then add 6 G5 teams, and then go on with their lives...

Its not what the hoped for though... and they need to start moving (edit meaning get out and join another conf). And its not going to hold the league together IMO either.

they definitely need to invite 6 ( or more ) pronto, because there's no guarantee all of them will accept the $10M half share, either

what a mess, lol

i still think it's "saveable" but yeah, losing O & W would definitely kill the league
