Is there still a chance the Pac-12 could end up on the CW? Nexstar CEO Perry Sook said at a media conference the company has had “particularly active conversations” with Power 5 conferences, which is widely believed to be the Pac-12. It’s a perfect fit when you consider the CW affiliates cut away from the ending of Sunday’s LIV golf tournament in Tulsa. That would have … Continue reading Does The Pac-12 Still Have Chance At CW?

OK, if we needed to find a poll that picks USC to win the Pac-12, it made sense that it would come from Fox. Here’s USC-friendly Joel Klatt’s post-spring Top 25 with the Trojans first among Pac-12 teams. Where’s Klatt’s alma mater, Colorado? That’s coming.
