When it was his turn at center stage during Wednesday’s Pac-12 Media Day in Hollywood, the Pac-12 commissioner went on the offensive when asked why the conference has fallen so far behind the other Power 5 leagues in terms of revenue and other metrics. The subject came up because, well, that has pretty much been the national narrative about the Pac-12 in what has been a nightmarish year for the conference.
Pac-12 teams went a historically bad 1-8 in bowl season. (Utah fans won’t miss an opportunity to remind conference cohorts who saved the league from going epically bad).
