Grumblings from the 'left coast' ...

I NEVER want more than the 10 teams currently in the BIG12.

The PAC should be a cautionary tale of what happens when stupid people try to create a 'super' anything.

I posted this on another board about ESPN...it rings true here as well...

But yea...the challenge now days seems to be finding contentment in your current, successful business. Everyone wants to conquer the world.

"BUT WHY AREN'T THESE PEOPLE WATCHING????

"Sir we've got one of the most profitable & successful TV networks on the planet. We basically dictate our price to providers. No one else comes close"

"I don't CARE! How do we get Goth's and kitten lovers to watch ESPN???"

"Sir...that might hurt our current demographic..."

"I SAID GOTH's & kitten lovers!!! Also I don't know what a SJW is but I WANT THAT DEMOGRAPHIC!!!!!"

"Oh sir...that's a VERY bad idea..."

"DO IT!!!"

Unrelated to this, but I am sick of people saying the Pac-12 is at a disadvantage because they're on the west coast. There are over 50 million people on the west coast. That is more than most countries in the entire world. what disadvantage?

The Midwest has 65 million people but two conferences to split those people for an average of 32 and 1/2 million people per conference. The Pac-12 has more potential fans than either Midwest conference.

Disadvantage from being far away from New York City? Please.

It’s not really a disadvantage as much as it’s just different.
