People who have lived their entire professional lives with extensive bureaucratic guardrails have a hard time grasping that they don't exist in other organizations unless you deliberately put them there.
Thats also the type of thing you can take a quick look at a P&L and realize you need one.

I wish Ladyblaise could do the honors with her ski boot.
Eliminating divisions is an easy decision and should have happened yesterday.
The Pac 12 should never be in a situation like last year where a multi loss Oregon team can beat an undefeated USC team in the CCG and possibly prevent a conference rep in the playoff. Granted, a 1 loss USC team would still make the new expanded playoff, but the point remains. Two best teams in the conference need to be playing for the championship.
I've long been in favor of a stipend like other merit scholars receive. Also, that athletes should be able to profit from NIL - like if they're used in an EASports game. But I thought the way to go was escrow accounts that held the NIL money and then paid out after eligibility expired.
Athletes already get stipends. I'd assume that will go up as time goes and more money flows in. NIL is also a big step, but you are now seeing bag men type situations now funneling that money through businesses or legit organizations, so hopefully that is what he is talking about.
What changes are you looking for?
PAC 12 media rights deals expire in 2024. New deals are typically negotiated about 12-18 months before expiration. Bottom line is that no change should be expected in the next couple of years. However, even after 2024, I think you will still have to subscribe to some streaming service “to watch that stupid channel”.
Which you still have to pay extra for.
The trend is that more content, not less, is slowly going behind the pay wall.
Despite how little I get out of it I keep the P12Nets all year. It's my small contribution that keeps us from being completely irrelevant.
I’ll have to go back and look at it. For some reason I feel like I was missing something vital with sling and had get another service to cover down. Not having to do any of it last year, and just keep my Hulu live, was kind of nice.
