No doubt Stanford and Cal's apathy towards football and men's basketball didn't help the Pac-12. But even when Stanford was winning championships and Rose Bowls it didn't move the needle much on Bay Area eyeballs and TV sets. Cal maybe a little bit more with their bigger alumni base, but neither school has been a hotbed of college football in a long, long time. Gotta try something different if we're going to be relevant in this new age. Stanford and Cal have a big leg up not being located in Pullman or Corvallis (yes, that's where I live) but neither seems willing or capable of taking advantage.
