An interesting take from the Pacific Northwest. Some really telling quotes:

"Had Larry Scott gotten the Pac-12 Networks on DirecTV to boost revenue … had he agreed to a shorter Tier 1 deal to allow the Pac-12 to renegotiate its media rights before the Big Ten … had he accepted a lifeboat from ESPN three years ago … none of this would have happened."

What say you, OF, he who says Scott couldn't have saved the Pac?

"In all candor, I believe this could mark the beginning of the end of major college football for the Bay Area schools. Their relatively low value within the college football marketplace is one reason for that bleak outlook."

Ah, the writer hit the nail on the head. If Shaw hadn't run the program into the ground, things would be a lot different. Finally a chance to blame Shaw for this debacle, and it comes from Seattle. .. .
