I’m curious about your stating the Pac-12 will be going on “hiatus”. As far as I know, it will be dead, dead, dead. The greedy schools gone to other conferences to reap their share of the millions and millions of dollars being thrown off by football. They’re going to need it in order to pay the hugely increased travel costs required for schools to transit the entire country to play their new foes. It won’t just be the football and basketball teams but all the non-revenue sports as well. Personally, as a fan of the conference for many years, I hope they choke on it but they aren’t going to put the band back together ever again

Recently ruling from a Washington state court is essentially handing control to Oregon State and Washington State. It depends on how things play out from here, but it’s likely those two schools are going to be able to retain control of the name. They’re also already working with the Mountain West on a scheduling deal, and indications are that there will be a merger in a year or two when the Mountain West’s media rights deals are up.
