HERE LIES THE PAC-12 CONFERENCE

DIED DUE TO POOR LEADERSHIP AND A CRAPPY MEDIA RIGHTS DEAL

Okay, so that’s not the whole story (there might have been cholera and dysentery along the way too), but we jump into the whirlwind behind the unraveling of a conference, what exactly caused the extinction of the Pac-12 conference, and shifting sands for UW as the Huskies lose Jennifer Cohen as athletic director to USC. Along the way we wax nostalgic about our history with the conference, express our concerns over rivalries and tradition, and sneak in some food bets for the upcoming season.
