Pac Meets Big

You know where to find me, whenever you need me
If you know the ave, follow the path...

The shifty boss known as Larry Scott announced that the Pac-12 and their Big 10 counterparts have formed a scheduling "partnership." (Pac-12, like many western states staying progreesive by allowing "partnerships.") Pac-12 meet the Big 10, they actually have 12 members too but they count slow. Pac-12, think Pharcyde, meet Big-10, think Black Milk. Pac-12 surfer/mountain dude, meet Big 10 overweight insurance salesman with a knit tie.

This means starting in 2017 us Pac-12ers wil enjoy every other year trips to the Big 10 football footprint. Just when we get rid of Lincoln every other year, they're back on the schedule once every 24 years. And I'm sure those midwestern sensibilities will mesh in well in the Bay Area and LA. ("Lookee here at this Blackberry. I've had blueberry and raspberry but never blackberry.")

The deal also includes scheduling, tournaments, meets, and the like among hoops, soccer, and Olympic sports. Damn straight, the Buffs have the only ski team, so might as well just forward us that trophy now.

Another win for the Pac-12, who have seen their star rise over the last year and half while other conferences swell to 14 members. This gets exposure for the conference in both the Central and Eastern time zones, increases the recruiting possibilities, and gets the major BCS schools one step closer to giving a giant "F you" to the NCAA.
