Stanford players come from all over the country, mostly where you can't get the Pac-12 Network too easily. So if they want their friends and families to not miss them play two weeks in a row, and hell, probably three weeks in a row given the Beavs are after UW, they better freaking win on Saturday!
It is amazing that our two biggest games of the year in determining the winner of the Pac12 North could both be on the Pac 12 network. Has the Pac 12 network ever had a game between two ranked teams with 1st place in the conference on the line like Stanford WSU this week?
Highly doubt it. I'd write to Larry Scott and give him an earful, but not enough Pac-12 fans would follow suit because Pac-12 fans don't have the numbers of passionate fans the other conferences do. It's one of the things that keeps the Pac-12 in the 5th Power 5 slot.
SEC, B1G, ACC, Big 12 are all bigger and better as a result.
