Yeah with each departure the numbers get worse. Hard to blame CO or AZ too much though - the death blow was UCLA/USC taking off with the largest media market in the PAC.
Can you imagine trying to negotiate this TV deal for the PAC? It’s impossible. You lost LA so none of your historical figures mean anything, and there are constant rumors…

Can you imagine trying to negotiate this TV deal for the PAC? It’s impossible. You lost LA so none of your historical figures mean anything, and there are constant rumors that your league won’t even exist anymore. I don’t know how they get anything meaningful inked. The longer this drags out, the less likely a deal is, the sooner the whole league collapses
And until something gets done, we will not be able to recruit good payers. We will occasionally find some hidden gems but they would transfer as soon as they become good.
Previously I thought Big 10 or bust, but now I'm willing to accept Big 12.
Man...this year is so important. Like a try out/audition. Half the articles only evaluate our recent records. All the success we have had with guys in the NFL (including two starting QBS) counts for nothing.
Cal has been 3-star U for decades now, with the occasional Jared Goff or Keenan Allen darkening our doorstep as the exception not the rule. Assuming the PAC stays together (my bet), the guys who we now have & have come in through the portal are right in line with our usual talent level. Doesn't mean we won't beat Auburn.

I'd take any arrangement that allows us to keep power 5 status and enough $ to fund the nonrevenue sports.
