Gordon Monson: 'In the greediest period of an already greedy endeavor, Utah has no one to trust but itself, or so it seems.'
The Utes can’t trust Washington and Oregon to hold the Pac-12 together. After this round of conference realignment, they can only trust themselves.
In the greediest period of an already greedy endeavor, Utah has no one to trust but itself, or so it seems. The reason being, that’s what every other prominent college football school is doing — looking out for its own best interests. If those best interests torpedo the best interests of other schools then … sucks for them.
Should Utah align with Washington and Oregon and Arizona and Arizona State and Stanford and Cal and hope for good friendship, hope that the Pac can somehow replace USC and UCLA, either by adding schools like San Diego State and Fresno State or by standing pat and extending more hope for a decent TV deal with ESPN, or failing that, some other outfit, as they are?
It must keenly observe what’s going on, who’s lying, who’s liable to lie, and then pick a rescue boat to climb aboard. It has to discern whether the Pac will take a bite out of the Big 12 or whether the Big 12 will succeed in swallowing whatever it wants out of the Pac. Statistics are cited to the left, claiming the Pac schools are superior, and to the right, saying when apples are compared to apples, oranges to oranges, the Big 12 outdistances the Pac. Truth is, those numbers can be leaned any which way anyone wants.
