Awesome Part 1. Enjoyed hearing the individual stories about the hires as well as the trials and tribulations of getting the networks up and running.

Like what you’re doing! Not going to watch the remaining 2 lessen the history of what WAS an amazing conference with their charade…but great otherwise.

You're boycotting the wrong teams. The four that destroyed what was an amazing conference are USC, UCLA, UW, and UO. They killed the conference chasing the almighty dollar. Colorado...who cares? They never really fit in and could barely compete anyway. The others jumped on lifeboats. I'm boycotting Big-10 football and the four teams above. They destroyed the Pac-12.

WSU/OSU were also trying to leave and would still be gone TODAY if someone actually wanted them.

I’m not boycotting the teams, just them pretending the PAC still exists.

Keeping the Pac-12 alive may be a good thing. My prediction: Olympic sports will be back sooner rather than later, once the football reorganization settles down. Routinely traveling commercial airlines across the country for volleyball, softball, baseball, golf, track/x-country, etc. will not be sustainable. As for future football conferences in 10-15 years, does anyone really know what that will look like? Those decisions seem to be made by media executives, and now the ongoing NIL and student employee courtroom litigation.

This is a poignant conversation and many feel the same. Thank you both for having it on this platform. Here to talk all about it, all season, amid so many changes. Thank you for the support for Y-Option!
