1. P12 is done.

2. Cal may default on bond debt.

3. Do taxpayers pay bond holders if there is a default?

F—k UCLA. So unbelievably greedy and shitty of them.

Well CFB was fun while it lasted. Once the Pac 12 collapse happens I will stop watching.

The PAC originated in 1915 with Cal, Washington, Oregon, and Oregon State. Cardinal and WSU joined by 1918. SC arrived in 1922 and UCLA in 1928. The rivalries and traditions and memories that were forged over a century have been casually dissolved with cynical disinterest.

This is a tremendously sad day.

I don't even know what to think anymore. My love for cfb and football in general just keeps slipping away.

If the P12 collapses, I think Big10 may look at Cal/Stanford due to AAU affiliations. It's a big deal to Big10 inclusion. All P12 schools except ASU/WSU/OSU are AAU members.

The recent history of Cal football has felt like a controlled demolition.

Knowlton is scrutinizing the dessert card at Chez Panisse as we speak. Not sure he's even heard about any of this yet. Not that it would matter.
