You left out USC in the whom to blame pile. Fuck those guys. If they’d stayed, and if Kliavkoff would have seen the TV well drying up and started negotiating immediately with ESPN and Fox, don’t let Yormark cuck you the way he did, the conference would have survived. 40 million per school was there to be had with LA still in the fold. Tier the fucking revenue and forcibly make the presidents see why. USC, Washington and Oregon in tier 1. Utah, ASU and UCLA in tier 2, Cal, Stanford and Arizona in tier 3 and Colorado, WSU and Oregon State in tier 4. Your 3 biggest football brands now have 50 million to go compete for titles with the B1G and SEC. Your tier 2 programs are making 40 million, more than any got on the open market. Tier 3 is making 30, that’s what Arizona gets now and is triple what the Bay schools got from the ACC. The bottom brands still make money on par with the ACC’s awful deal with ESPN. It didn’t have to die. There was no creativity nor flexibility to these institutions and they killed something great. I came up with that bagging groceries. It’s not hard. FMFYFE
