The fall of the PAC --- The start of the relegation era.
I heard a Utah fan complaining about "being relegated" to the Big 12 --- most Utah fans and administrators wanted to stay in the PAC.
That relegation statement resonated with me.
I think if all the rumors of today happen, that may be the most honest way to look at everything that has gone down.
The bottom line is that the PAC 12 was a 12 team conference where essentially 8 schools carried their weight to some degree in the revenue sports and brought good markets. They were feeding 12 mouths.
If Stanford and Cal had never had the conference add Oregon State and Washington State (two schools with academics that were not and have not been at PAC standards decades ago) would the Pac have crumbled? Probably not.
With USC and UCLA the PAC schools were projected to be worth $50M per school or $600M. Without those two NW schools they would probably be worth about $570M or $57M per school. Is USC or UCLA leaving if they have $57M each and the Big Ten TV deal does not reflect LA value? I don't think so.
In real terms NOT actively relegating both schools --- something that probably was not allowed in the conference by-laws --- probably doomed the conference. Too many mouths to feed.
What do we have today --- end result.
The haves of the PAC (Washington, Oregon, USC, and UCLA ) have been promoted.
The middle class of the PAC (Colorado, Arizona, ASU, Utah, and now maybe with rumors of Stanford and Cal to the ACC) have be relegated to a slightly lesser conference than the PAC, and the Lower class of the PAC Oregon State and Washington State appear to have been strongly relegated to a lower level, the MWC.
Two years from now, I think we will just view this as a relegation story.
And I think more importantly, I think this is historically significant. I think this is the first round of relegation realignment.
The next seems likely to gut the ACC. The ACC schools all feel the ACC is better than the Big 12. But just like in the PAC, they may be forced to take the lifeboats that are there.
And then things get interesting....
I would not be shocked if the Big Ten crumbles into a football haves conference and a football have nots conference. Is there any reason Purdue, Indiana, Iowa, and others should be making Ohio State money?
I would not be shocked to see the Big Ten break into a 3 team football conference with the traditional powers along with their ACC and PAC acquisitions and several teams... perhaps enough for an 8 team football only conference operating at the Big 12 level... whose members play their Olympic sports in the Big Ten.
Who gets the axe?
Indiana
Purdue
Northwestern
Illinois
Iowa
minesota
wisconsin
and..... Nebraska?!?!?!
I would not be shocked to see Ol' Miss and Mississippi State forced out of the conference by Texas in order for the SEC to keep payouts up with Big Ten "A".
Relegation is here.

The GURPS Cyberpunk and seizure of Steve Jackson Games' computers was a part of an FBI initiative called Operation Sundevil if I recall correctly.
I was a playtester for GURPS Cyberpunk. I half suspect my name is on an FBI list somewhere.
There is another section from the song "Gamers", and I'm curious if it refers to a specific incident.
I'm a live-roleplayin' gamer, I used to play out in the woods. Twilight 2000, Shadowrun, I'd play whenever I could. I'd put on my costume, shoot tin cans, and make firecrackers fly. Then my front door got kicked down again -- This time it was the FBI.
They stole my guns, my video tapes, every book I’d ever read, And a couple of bags of fertilizer out of the garden shed! They told the press I was a terrorist, who planned to blow up half the town. They called me a right-wing militia nut, and a neo-nazi clown.
The details are not the same, but I think this is a reference to a well known incident in 1990, where Steve Jackson Games, best known these days as the maker of the Munchkin card game, were raided by the Secret Service under suspicion that their game product, Cyberpunk, a roleplaying game, was actually a manual for computer crime. Agents literally walked out of the building holding the game company's computers.
Because this story is so well known to gamers, and spread at a time when word of mouth was so potent, there are many details that are altered by the telephone game. Many say it was the FBI instead of the Secret Service, for instance, or it was Cyberpunk 2020 that was raided (which was put out by R. Talsorian Games, not Steve Jackson).
To quote Steve Jackson:
In the course of that visit, it became clear that the investigating agents considered GURPS Cyberpunk to be "a handbook for computer crime." They seemed to make no distinction between a discussion of futuristic credit fraud, using equipment that doesn't exist, and modern real-life credit card abuse. A repeated comment by the agents was "This is real."
"Careless, illegal, and completely unjustified," the raid happened because author Loyd Blankenship ran an irreverent, anti-authority computer USENET BBS dedicated to computers and yes, hacking, and Steve Jackson was struck through guilt by association. It's exactly the kind of overreach that happens when the malevolent Eye of Sauron that is federal law enforcement fixes itself on you. In the course of investigation, the Secret Service justified its own warrant by saying that they would find evidence to justify the warrant, which is circular reasoning.
Due to the raid, Steve Jackson Games had to lay off half the staff and was close to bankruptcy fighting the charges. However, for once, they were able to countersue the Secret Service, because several committed technology lawyers, partially in response, formed the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
This is not the first time this happened. In 1980, a decade earlier, TSR was raided because of the spy game, Top Secret, due to suspicion of aiding international terrorism in Lebanon (!)

I’ve had the amazing pleasure to take ART 320 with Dr. Morgan Anderson of Arizona State University and ASU Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts as an #onlinestudent with ASU Online. So proud to be a #sundevil and explore many different opportunities to grow as an individual and scholar.
I never would have thought about taking floral design for a science elective, but I’m thankful I came across this when I scheduled my classes earlier this year.
While it may be a little difficult to see through the foliage, but those large leaves are Magnolia leaves to represent my home state of Louisiana. Throughout this course, I used some favorites from my garden, like Makrut lime leaves and Thai basil (not shown here), and it’s been a wonderful time getting to know the world beyond my keyboard and screen.
I think we can all use a little break from social media (as I ironically share this to you all) and nurse our #plantblindness between the new iPhone release, ai updates, and the like.
I hope the world of floral arrangement as an art form and therapy gets a little more acknowledgment in our world, as it is not an easy skill!

Had a great (bittersweet) time in Tempe! 😎 We got our sun angel all settled into his dorm. We’re already missing Dylan something fierce, but judging from his 4 am Snapchat story, he’s not missing us as much. 😂 . #boymomlife #offtocollege #bittersweet #writerslife #romancewriter #readersofinstagram #booklovers #bookgeeks #sundevils #theacademysaga
