The desire for Berkeley to not appear to be a notch below UCLA has to be worth something to the regents, no?

Wouldn’t that be admitting that the Pac-12 is notch below the Big 10?

Given that advantages of the PAC-12 in terms of rivalries and travel, it would be unwise for the Regents to undermine the PAC-12 further in this way.

It is amazing how many people equate money with better (even many on this board).

Stanford did not hire the most expensive coach it could find; it hired the coach who was the best fit. Stanford and the Pac-12 can have a satisfying future while living on a budget.
