The new Pac-12
Posted: Fri Oct 22, 2010 1:36 am
Well, in Southern Cal today all the talk was about the Pac-12 officially releasing how the conference would be split and info about their championship game rules, etc.
The Pac-12 North will be:
Oregon, Oregon State, Cal, Stanford, Washington, and Washington State
The Pac-12 South will be:
USC, UCLA, Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, and Utah
The Pac-12 will play 9 conference games each year (5 in division and 4 from other division). The California schools will play every year keeping traditional rivalries in place....UCLA and USC will play both Cal and Stanford every year.
The Pac-12 Championship game will not be played at a neutral site. The team with the best conference record will host the Pac-12 Championship game. If there is a tie the team with the highest BCS ranking will host the Pac-12 championship game.
All tv/media revenue will be split equally among all 12 schools unless they fail to reach a certain amount of money (I think they said $180 million dollars a year). If they fail to reach that amount both UCLA and USC will get extra money that the other schools will not get.
I think that covers most of what they have been reporting all day. I heard it about a dozen times today on local ESPN radio while driving around.
