South Side!
Once every other year
doesn't seem possible... figured it would be once every 3...
I'm not sure if we have locked rivals or if its just the cali schools
Oregon State had the opportunity to have the best logo but alas, they went with an animal version.
Seriously. a buffalo and a bunch of ****ing letters. WSU is only other non letter logo. Ralphie FTW!

Just the Cali schools have locks. No locks for us, we just won't be playing the Northern Cal schools every year.
ahhh no other locking. brilliant!
Chris Dempsey on twitter:
Cali teams will play each other every year, so 2 inter-division games are locked. Every1 else on rotation for all inter-division games
EDIT - Wow, got scooped by 3 people in the time it took me to post this.
From the way Larry said it, we'll play Stanford or Cal once a year, so one would assume 2 away games each 4 year-cycle - I could be wrong
Wait, that's not how it was just explained. I thought every team would have 2 locked inter-division opponents ??
get owned utah
Haha, they have a 3-year "phase-in" (less money)

Nope...still a 3 year phase in to full share apparently.

Utah is still, by far, the biggest winner so far in the conference wars.
Going need that run game for that future December 12Pac Championship home game!
I haven't given much thought to this yet, but the two NorCal schools will have four cross-division games per year to fill with four cross-division rivals (two schools each with two open cross-division games each). My guess is we'll see rotating home and homes like we do with the B12 South right now. Thus, for example, CU and Utah would play a home and home with Stanford for a two year period while ASU and UA play a home and home with Cal. Then after that two-year home and home is over, they'd switch and CU and Utah get Cal for a home and home and ASU and UA home and home with Stanford. Thus, it'd make sense we'd have a roadie to NorCal every other year. Now, it might not work exactly like that and we might go two years in a row to NorCal and then two years in Boulder, but it shouldn't be that bad.
Great news for the Buffs! And for that matter I think this is good for the future of the Pac 12. Looks to be like a model that will serve all schools well and should be a balanced competitive conference for many years
all media rights in... Should be interesting to see how that works out on the negotiating table. Do we split the rights between Pac12 network and the big games? Or do we go all in with ESPN12, the Pac? Or something else? Reallly want some sort of dedicated channel. The Pac12 must OWN the western 3d of the nation.

Their logo has a great backstory -- a former Disney animator pissed at Walt Disney! lol

Why are people so concerned with NoCal? It didn't work out well for us this year. SoCal is the place to be anyways.
Important to tell recruits they will get a chance to play in front of their hometown crew at least once or twice.

Ok, this makes sense. But if recruits are THAT worried about playing near home, they'll likely go to Cal or Stanford over CU anyways, no?
