Thanks for talking about a real problem us PAC-12 Fans have noticed with East Coast Bias. And your Aunt Sally’s work covering women in sports are always among my very favorite pieces!

JC, hope you and the family had a great trip to the Big Apple.

As a transplanted Oregonian now residing in South Carolina, I can attest to the fact that when it comes to sporting events broadcasts, it gets late far too early on the Right Coast. 10:30 PM Pac conference kickoffs become must watch TV for this old-timer on Sunday. Even with a long overdue Polar Shift there is nothing to be done about the geography.

And to think that before the BCS most games on the Left Coast were played in the sunshine and without fans having to schlep home after midnight. The are consequences to monetizing anything and everything.
