Why do so many nfl stadiums have problems with their grass/turf?  I don't see these issues in college stadiums
That's coming to a head.  I actually think the NFL stadiums committed to it are fine.  And the NFLPA is getting vocal about it.  But the next step is all of the college stadiums who have gone to it.  It's more expensive to maintain a good grass field, but it's also safer.  So "player safety" is coming to a head

I get it for college.  They don't care.

But the Jets and Vikings could have bought the entire NFL natural turf fields for what they are paying Rodgers and Cousins to not play

Washington lets them score in two plays and only take like 30 seconds off the clock. Still not over in Vegas.

That closes the book on the Pac-12/Pac-10/Pac-8/AAWU/PCC.
Conference championships (including shared):
39 USC
20 Warshington
17 UCLA
14 Stanford
13 Oregon, Cal
5  Oregon St
4  Warshington St
3  Arizona St
2  Utah
1  Arizona
0  Colorado
.
Utah won twice as many PAC titles in 12 years of membership as Arizona did in 45 years.
Arizona's only "title" was a 2-loss, 3-way share of it in 1993.  They never made a Rose Bowl.
Washington State went 67 years between conference titles (1930 - 1997).  They took just 5 years to get another in 2002 (shared).

Stepped up from the WAC. Not easy to do.

I attribute Utah's success there to Urban Meyer. He elevated that program while it was in the MWC.

That’s an interesting approach, but I think it probably gives Urban or little too much credit.

He supplied a certain kind of meteoric rise factor. And that’s impressive invaluable. But the guys before an after him did the hard work of “program building”

I don't think Utah is (was) in the Pac without Urban's influence there. He put the program on the big map and made Utah into a little school that could, and Whittingham maintained it to the point where they are now a big boy program.

Yes and no. 

The guy before Urban coached there 13 seasons, nine winning. He went 10-2 one year, with a top-10 finish. Laid the ground work. Urban took that guys players, applied his sport-changing scheme and approach, raised things a level. And then Whittingham didn't just maintain, but rebuilt. Led them back from a couple dips that could've sunk things.

Urbs provided a key spark, but it was a three-decade operation.

A Michigan-Washington Rose Bowl (semifinal) would be a fine way to really end the ICFR/Western Conference/Big Ten-P12/10/8/PCC era.
