What format works best for securing multiple bids for the expanded College Football Playoff? Should the Pac-12 return to divisions? Should it plow forward with nine conference games or drop to an eight-game model?
Jon Wilner The pursuit of a media rights agreement and decision on expansion are the most significant issues facing the Pac-12 but hardly the only unresolved matters with long-haul implications.
People are also reading… College football at the close of the 2020s and into the next decade will be nothing more than a fraternal twin to the current game. In every regard, including media rights, expansion and the football schedule, the conference must create a foundation that's suited for the future.
Swapping one of three non-conference games in favor of a 10th league matchup probably would improve the schedule quality but definitely would add to the total number of losses for the conference. Meanwhile, the cost of game guarantees — the money paid to a visiting team outside the Power Five — is soaring. It's not unusual for Group of Five teams to demand more than $1 million. The SEC and Big Ten have more teams in close proximity and more money to spend than the Pac-12.
Either way, it would give the Pac-12 control over a greater percentage of the overall schedule — the schools are responsible for the non-conference games — and potentially place more teams in position for success.It should consider conference games on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend.
