Things still probably smell rosy for Ute fans, but PAC12 seems to be falling further behind the other P5's. Interesting article here:

Also, didn't another TV provider just drop the PAC12 Network today? Seems like the natives would be restless to get a new commissioner.Quote:

Geographically it's a bit of an anomaly -- why would location affect the performance and quality of athletes attending the local universities?
Is it the water, or is it just that the best talent gravitates towards the Central and Eastern schools? :ne_nau:
Basically the PAC 12 slots in at number 3 among P5 conferences, I can live with that. I would prefer to be number 1, we can work toward that. I would like to see a new conference commissioner as I think Scott sucks.Quote:

Bottomline is I hardly see it as the sky is falling. YMMV

Against #21 Northwestern in the Big Ten Championship - Score 45-24

Against #4 Michigan - Score 62-39

UW will never see Ohio State. The playoff teams will be Alabama, Clemson, ND and Ohio State.
UW goes to the Rose Bowl WaZoo to the Alama and ???
Utah probably gets hosed....
If the world is fair Utah will play Northwestern in the Holiday Bowl.
I’m thinking Oklahoma will get that 4th slot.
OU is the team that gets hosed this year.
#bookmarked
It’ll be interesting. Oklahoma has won 7 in a row. Ohio State has that beatdown from (6-6) Purdue 49-20 on their resume.
Looks like Ohio State got hosed.Quote:

The NCAA placed Oregon's athletics department on two years' probation.

-- An adjunct instructor altered a course grade from an F to a B-minus for a women's track and field student-athlete, which allowed her to remain eligible and earn a degree.
-- The football team posted personal information about prospects on an electronic reader board in the football facility during their visits to campus.
The first two -- why are they such egregious violations? Observing workouts 64 times? I mean, unless it's some pervy assistant coach hiding behind the bleachers taking pics of the students doing squats...
I know it seem's like a small deal but it's not.... the rule is to make certain every school has an equal amount of practice while still giving the players time to complete the student part of student-athlete. The rule is in place to try and make certain that the sport does not completely overwhelm the athlete, as the NCAA does understand that 99% of these kids do actually need an education as they are not going pro.Quote:

Reading the article it appears the coach was participating in these 'volunteer' player led practices.

The Pac-12 as a conference is in serious trouble financially and not doing much better on the football field.
The conference failed again to get a team in the four-team college playoff, further pushing it into irrelevance nationally. To make matters worse, Washington State was passed over for one of the New Year’s Six bowls, drastically reducing the conference’s stature and financial payout.
In fact, a four-part series published last week by John Canzano of the Oregonian, extensive research showed the conference is paying almost $7 million annually in rent for its headquarters in an extremely expensive part of San Francisco. Scott also draws a $4.8 million salary, more than double than that of other Power Five commissioners.
That's the same regurgitated crap spewed by John Canzano of the Oregonian last week. What's the deal? Our local reports are not even smart enough to come up with the own material for an article?!?Quote:
