Over the past few football seasons, it’s become abundantly clear that the Pac-12 Conference has become the Rodney Dangerfield of the Power 5 conferences. It gets no respect.
Well, if you read this week’s four-part series on the Pac-12 by John Canzano of the Oregonian/OregonLive, that should come as no surprise to you. To an extent, Canzano’s series rehashes a lot of the criticisms that have been leveled at the conference over the years. For instance, one part of the series looks at the Pac-12’s failure to strike a deal with DirecTV.
But, it also covers plenty of new ground including wondering aloud as to whether the conference is trying to pick winners and losers.
