They should have to pay more than that just for stupidity. There was plenty of data in December of 2021 for them to know cancelling wasn’t reasonable.
PAC 12 should just withhold the potential liability from UCLA's distribution this year. Cancelling just hours before the game was irresponsible at best. You've got 10s of thousands of fans who have bought tickets and incurred travel expenses to see the game. And, as you say, there was no medical evidence that there was any real medical risk from playing by then.
Yeah... it would have been one thing to simply decline, but it was 5 hours before kickoff.
Question is, if the PAC12 falls apart, can the Big 12 poach Washington and Oregon? It's a lot more travel, but those are some really big schools that the Big 10 doesn't seem to want. If they can, are they willing to expand to 18 or do they only take 1 of ASU, Arizona or Utah? And if so, which one?
The Big XII tossing Colorado to the Pac-12 for a decade as bait may be a genius move in retrospect.
It's always been my second favorite conference behind the SEC. I hate to see what's happening to it.
This Big 12 commissioner seems pretty ambitious and not afraid to think outside the box and openly endorsed the idea of being a 'coast to coast' conference. I think he would take Cal and Stanford. If nothing else, Stanford helps whatever conference they're in claim the most national championships, even if it's in three dozen non-revenue sports. Honestly, the only Pac teams I think are in danger of becoming Mountain West teams are Washington State and Oregon State.
Stanford is the one school I keep up with mostly because they’ve employed me and family members.
Thought you were referring to SixPack at first, and I was about to hit you with a captain obvious commentNow the Holiday Bowl is coming for their money:
Holiday Bowl seeks $3M for '21 UCLA withdrawal
The Holiday Bowl, which is run by the San Diego Bowl Game Association, is suing the Pac-12 Conference and the University of California Regents over UCLA's 2021 withdrawal from the game.
