PAC 12 Offseason Thread

[Cincydawg]

I think some SEC scheduling merits being knocked.

But, anyone who plays at least 10 FBS teams a year is OK with me.

Yeah UCLA is a mess. Their recruiting branding has been called impossibly bad, too. They have this one day, on June 8th, when they offer recruits. It's called 8Clap8th. It's such a bad name that just thinking about it threatens to break my brain.

Same here.  I always rooted for them to beat the Trojans.

Must be global warming making LA uninhabitable...

Pac12 considering a few 9am local kickoffs this season.  Ouch.   I love my late night Pac12 menu.

It's not the warming.

Eh, 1 a week I don't think would be a terrible thing.  Sometimes I like late night Pac 12, sometimes I'm exhausted by a full day of football, and want to watch/do something else.  When you've got 4 every week, you can't be getting a ton of east coast eye balls.

So east coast fan will now watch Arizona at Utah at noon, instead of Maryland at Purdue?  Or Syracuse vs NC St.  Meanwhile Pac 12 fan is ...happy about this?

I suppose they are conditioned to watch NFL and other leagues at 9am as it is.

I think if they were going to move all of their games it would be stupid.  But playing 4 in primetime, sometimes as many at 10 or later, makes as little sense as the Big Ten playing all of their games at noon.  I hate MSU-WMU, or whatever, being "prime time" but I'm surprised it took so long for conferences to start spreading their games out more.  Off the top of my head, it does feel like the ACC and SEC were ahead of the curve on that one.

NFL is never before 10 AM. 

But yeah, college football fans out here are conditioned to the 9 AM start times. I still don't think it's a good idea to actually have local games that start at 9 AM though. I think that will cause a lot of issues with filling the stadium, and potentially quiet the environment as there won't exactly be time to tailgate.

Do Pac 12 fans outside of the northwest go to games?

Do Pac 12 fans outside of the northwest go to games?

Most? No. 

But the Los Angeles and Inland Empire metro areas have a combined 16M residents. That's plenty to actually put butts in seats even if a low percentage of fans actually attend.
