Some in Pac-12 land apparently don't like late games.

Saw this linked to a Seattle newspaper last night,

Kind of funny given how so many on this board complain about Noon kickoffs and not enough late games.

This is why along with the PAC-12 Network why the PAC-12 needs to expand to Central Time Zone and go after OU, OKSU, or Texas & Texas Tech? Would help out Colorado and Utah too as far as location.

 

[Dr. von Yinzer]

Right, but why would those schools want to go west?

This is a very real, serious problem for the PAC-12.

This is the PAC-12 problem but solvable by going Central Time Zone, they will go West for the Money? Way more money for PAc-12 Network and central Time Zone Games with Higher Ratings earlier than later?

The Big12 problem is the smallesy FootprInt just 5 States with huge Texas Program and Long Horn Network but no Big-12 Network or Championship Game and not many Schools left to expand their footprint without giving up more shares then they bring in to the Big-12?

The ACC problem is the biggest Footprint & Third most viewed Conference but no ACC Network?

The Big-12 Teams could expand into taking AAC Midwest & East, but so far Texas says no!

Therefore, the Big-12 could break up further after losing Colorado, Nebraska, A&M & Missouri. As The Pac-12 take 4 Schools, Big Ten, SEC and possible ACC takes 2, all going to 16 or 18 Teams!

Everyone wants Texas, Swofford publicly said, Texas has an Open Invitation anytime to the ACC and could bring in ND rounding off to 16 Schools!

The Big Ten has talked about Kansas and OU, it helps Basketball and Nebraska location and goes to 16 Schools!

The PAC-12 already approach OU, OKSU, Texas and Texas Tech years ago, but withdrew once the Big-12 settle on Ten Teams after 4 left. The remainder actually enter into talks with the Big East before they became the AAC the other 5 bIG-12 Schools in ISU, KSU, Kansas, TT before WVU & TCU joined the Big-12!

SEC would take OU and Texas too in minute to 16 Schools!

We shall see, 4 Power Conferences is better than 5!

Tell them to root for pitt, every single game will be over 12:15 (their time), they'd be in heaven.. Make sure they have a HDMI cable though, the first 3 games they'll need a computer/laptop to watch Pitt..

Wah. Boo hoo. EVERY COLLEGE, north, south, east and west, Division 1, Division 2, NAIA, etc..play mostly evening games in every other sport, you know, most of those who don't have a pro league to aspire to, so they are entirely STUDENT athletes.

I am tired of these multi millionaire football coaches whining. Wah....their kids have to come back and sleep on Sunday. You know what the Iowa's Girl's volleyball have to do after say a Wednesday match in Columbus? They have Thursday classes. They seem to manage, and I am betting individually and collectively they have better GPA's in real majors than the football players.

Boofrigginhoo. As the writer said, don't like it, turn back the money and the TV revenues. Because all the other sports have to do this. And in the lower levels, they may not have 4-5 hour plane rides, no....they have 4-5 hour bus rides. Or more.

Maybe we can trade our noon/9AM Pacific starts for their 10:30/7:30 Pacific starts. Then our fans can go to all their kids' soccer games and birthday parties and still have enough time to get to Heinz
