Kevin Wu: Spot on. Just as a pure spectator, I often feel like our conference is giving our schools the short end of the stick. Sure, our top football and basketball programs will be just fine. But, Cal is neither. It’s clear the Pac-12 is doing things to maximize their earnings, but it often feels like the student-athletes and fans experiences are seconding to the moneymaking aspects of their business. Chasing TV money is important, I get that. But, at what cost? Chancellor Christ’s criticism of the conference’s scheduling habits is a perfect example of priorizing money over well-being.
