Good hire for the conference. It’s a small step towards being at least somewhat nationally respected.
To do:
– Fire Larry Scott
– Some school needs a home run hire, like USC hiring Urban Meyer (I don’t know if that will happen, but something on that scale). And it needs to work out: top 10, conference championships, legitimate playoff contenders. I know Chris Peterson has done this, but it needs to be someone more respected by the east coast.
– Someone needs to win a national championship. Football, basketball, not just water polo or skiing as much fun as that is.
– PAC-12 networks needs to get into more households or it needs to die. All the other P5 conferences are earning way more revenue from TV and media than the PAC-12 and that needs to change.
– PAC-12 needs to cut spending costs. Millions and millions each year that could go to each school but instead is going towards HQ in San Francisco, $$$ salary for crappy commissioner, etc, those costs need to be limited.
– Football and basketball need to schedule more non conference games against marque opponents, and 8 game conference schedule for football.
