Well they are currently pushing legislation to let players get paid for their likeness in Cali...MAybe they are trying to avoid all the scandals? Haha and just out right pay kids moving forward?... makes bagmen strategies a lot easier lol
even though it would ban all Cali schools from the playoffs I bet it would attract some kids to want to play there...
just a random thought i had
The PAC 12 can’t commit to sports like the SEC/ACC/BIG10 bc they don’t/haven’t had the save level of yearly TV Revenue because the PAC 12 network is so messed up. They thought when they made it that everyone across the country would pay up in order to stay up until 1:00 A.M. watching a couple 3-9 teams play. While you can watch BIG 10/BIG 12/ACC/SEC games for no additional charge. The way those conferences generate the revenue Ian off of ratings, so companies have an idea of how many people will see their commercials, this sets the price Pernos 30 second commercial. The pac 12 can’t generate ratings, because #1 you have to pay to watch, so you have already limited you ratings, #2 you have the constant battle with being 3 hours behind the standard east coast time where the majority of College Football fans live. All this contributes to the SEC/BIG 10/ACC having way more money and thus better facilities, and with the ability to steal West Coast recruits because of the accessibility of things such as FaceTime and various other social media apps. Now with how relaxed the NCAA is becoming soon they will probably allow schools to start paying for families of players travel costs to and from games, and that will only further widen the gap.
I'm going to blame it on the
I think alot of schools tried to ride their name and nostalgia too long....USC, Notre Dame, Miami, Nebraska, Penn ST.....etc. Eventually, recruits started saying, 'You got the big name and history, but you don't have the facilities and stuff now. That's why bama and UGA and Clemson are on top right now. And recruits see that.
Some are bouncing back....Notre Dame hasn't fallen off the map completely and Miami is making strides. It'll take time, but if they invest the money to upgrade, they'll get back in the game too.
Right now the Pac-12 is stuck in 2011. They need to dissolve its current network/TV deals and rework them in order to take advantage of their maximum TV revenue. Then teams like USC can take off their "floaties" and rejoin the the arms race with the other elite college football programs. It'll still take 5-7 years from the time they rework the deal in order to get a team to win a game in the CFP however. They might have a team make it to the CFP, but they can't recruit to they level you have to in order to beat a team like OSU/Bama/Clemson/UGA/LSU/TA&M.
Meh....It comes and goes in cycles. They will get the right coach again and start rolling again, eventually.
