On Tuesday morning, the Pac-12 Twitter community was swamped in a discussion over the state of the conference thanks to a piece written by Dennis Dodd of CBS Sports.
“The sky is not falling out West but cracks are beginning to appear in a once-solid foundation,” Dodd wrote in a critique of the Pac-12 which included damning quotes from chancellors and athletic directors and even more damning numbers.
While the collective bemoaning of the conference’s woes was to be expected, there was also an interesting conversation about the natural disadvantages faced by the Pac-12 from analysts on Twitter.
