"Since the Big 12 was created in 1996-97, no league among the six major conferences (Power 5 and the Big East) had failed to send a team to the second round until Thursday when the Pac-12 became the first."

Is this just a very unlucky set of circumstances?Â Or is there something structural about the Pac 12 that is making it less competitive in the money sports?

Just curious has any of the Power 5 +The Big East, ever not send a #2 seed to the NCAA. Especially a #2 seed that made the conference championship game?

I'm pretty sure that the Pac-12 only sent its conference tournament champion a few years back.

If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
