"And it's all because of a pretentious type of move that, beyond the perception it sends, adds major logistical problems as well."[/i]
That is the understatement of the year. Ms. Cohen has her hands full here.
So, are we not going to get non conference games against Big Ten schools from now on, because the Big Ten schools feel they have enough trips to the West Coast by playing USC and UCLA?
Conference games against San Diego State and SMU (and possibly even UNLV and UTSA if the PAC seriously does the 14 team expansion Canzano wrote about a day or two ago), no non-conference games against Big Ten teams, and maybe a few non-conference games against SEC schools if we’re lucky. What a nightmare.

Best hope for guaranteed P5 OOC is to have the Pac-12 do an agreement with the ACC or Big 12
UW will always struggle to attract P5 teams since Seattle is so far from every other OOC school (the closest is Nebraska)
