And don't forget the responsibilities of the various university presidents who were, from all reports, the ones controlling everything. They, like the commissioner(s), were caught asleep at the switch. An entire conference went down the drain in a blink of an eye. The "brand" of the Pac-12 or Pac-whatever-it-is can't be worth much. Why any number of schools would want to decouple from their conferences to hitch their wagon to an on-life-support brand is beyond me. Those still hoping for a revival of the Pac-12 to me appear to be whistling past the graveyard.

I think the plan is to wait for a couple of conferences (Big12 and ACC are the candidates) to implode themselves and then rebuild from the pieces. No one expects schools from functional and high-paying conferences to make the leap
