In the end, was it new CU coach Deion Sanders that struck the death blow to an ailing Pac-12 Conference?
These huge television contracts have ruined college football. And I blame the SEC. It’s pure trash. I loved the old Big Eight Conference, when the Buffs, Nebraska and Oklahoma would trade blows with each other.: Incredible arrogance and bad judgment of Pac-12 leadership , pushed the Conference of Champions from glory to extinction in a period of 10 years.
My romantic views of college football and student athletics died long ago. These kids are basically pros. Nothing surprises me anymore. I support CU and let myself get fooled for a few hours on football Saturdays in the fall. Otherwise, I know what the deal is.: I empathize with your confusion. Heck, the knuckleheads here at Kickin’ It Headquarters can’t find West Virginia on on a map, let alone understand why it makes sense for the Buffs to make road trips to Morgantown to play football.
You bemoan the trashing of tradition? It’s called change. The only part of life that is guaranteed. It’s fun! It’s exciting. And Nebraska? Do I miss having the Cornhuskers in the same conference as CU? What do the Huskers have to do with any of this?: You’re correct on one important point. The once-mighty Huskers are now pawns in this big-money game. The big player out there is Notre Dame. This insansity will continue until the Irish decide to join a league.
The Big 12, Big Ten and SEC have too many schools! The Pac-12, a 100-plus year old conference, with many prestigious schools , was cast aside like junk! There’s nothing sacred, no honor, no tradition. Just greed!
