Paul Finebaum, without laying out much of a roadmap and sequence of events as to how, predicted the demise of the Pac-12 by 2026.
The truth is that the league has a viable path forward, and could simultaneously crumble due to factors outside their control.
On today’s episode of Locked On Pac-12, I discuss the future of the Conference in the realignment/media landscape.
Plus, I provide a correction of oversight regarding the Pac-12’s outstanding lineup of nonconference football games this Fall.
Entering his 7th season at the helm of Cal Football, Justin Wilcox might have the hottest seat underneath him as a coach in the Pac-12.
Cal’s preseason win total is just 4.5, and in addition to overcoming evergreen hurdles on offense, the Bears have to be more like themselves to become bowl eligible.
