The networks...that is EXACTLY why all of this is happening. These networks simply do not want to pay for all of these conferences and schools that make them zero dollars anymore. Washington St and Oregon St are a net loser for the networks. I'm sorry that some of you feel the networks should be forced to just keep spending billions of dollars on the PAC and absorb those losses, just in the name of "tradition". Again, thats why the PAC is going away. This is going to be the greatest era of college football ever!! Like i said, things change...adapt or die.

What does the tv deal for the BIG and SEC have to do with the PAC? It's not their fault ESPN or whoever it is that broadcasts PAC football games is losing money.
The PAC is going away b/c they are a conference full of schools that have fans that don't give a shite.
Mississippi State and Ole Miss have enough baseball fans to make ESPN money for the CWS.

The BIG and SEC are full of mid tier programs that care, other than Vandy and Rutgers. Iowa and Illini fans are going to watch OSU/Mich. Auburn and South Carolina fans are going to watch LSU/Bama. Arkansas fans are going to watch Tex/OU. That doesn't happen in the PAC. Arizona state fans aren't going to watch Oregon/Washington. Hell there's probably more BIG fans watching that game than PAC fans.
