I agree with your overall approach and think Vegas would be ideal. I wouldn't push the savings of $7 million per year back to the members though... $600k/year doesn't help schools much. I would spend it on upgrading the sales team and the team that manages the media agreements. More net revenue beats a small cost reduction in my view. I love the new commissioner. Seems like a great hire.

It’s remarkable how Vegas and more importantly it’s reputation in the sports world has changed in the last 20 years.
Love your columns. Keep up the good work.
Absolutely right on. Las Vegas is central, has the facilities and connections. It gives the Pac 12 "star" power.
Can we just have an 8 team CFP please?
Great piece, John.
