🏈 Dan Wetzel: There is currently a fight to keep the Pac 12 together. If you love college football, you should root for the league to survive.

An interesting way he's chosen to frame his argument (or plea?) here.

True college football fans should root for the PAC to survive. Here's a bunch of reasons why, using examples of games and teams, none of whom are in the PAC.

Well, he did mention snowstorms in Pullman, but he's touting the local rivalries that usually are inconsequential on a national scale, small teams getting a chance to knock off a big guy, and the pageantry of the game. His position is thin and attempts to play on our love of the game vs. the mean corporate monolith. It is indeed a plea.

"Not everyone has to be Alabama. Not everyone can be Alabama. Not everyone should be Alabama."

One out of three ain't bad.

In spite of his platitudes about the pageantry that's dying I'm wondering where his pleas were last season. I remember the figurative "dancing on the grave of the Big 12" last year with the OU/TX announcements.

I see in the thread a few have called him out. He denied it at first...until that damn thing called proof popped its head in.

I dont see pac 12 losing ucla and USCw as bad as B12 losing TX and OK...
Maybe media market...but not in competition...

What the hell does loving college football have to do with rooting for the PAC 12 to survive?
