Well said, and the attitude I’m working on. Appreciation with the Pac12 is easy, appreciating our new circumstance is taking some work. Still grieving.
I’ll say what we’re all thinking- this is depressing. Our new conference mates may hate it, but its true. You can’t replace the near-perfect conference we had with this, and pretend they are somehow equivalent. Just look at the home schedule. Not to mention, as an academic, the University affiliations actually mattered (I know, no one cares).
But I’ll go silver-linings. Our program is in a position to excel with this group. So I’ll get my ass on board and stop complaining.
Former bb season ticket holder- but today was the first game I’ve been to in 5 years.
I was a student in the Vanhorn, Miller days, so I was shocked at the attendance today. ( I know, I’m part of the problem). Good team, god opponent.
But we had fun with our two young sons and will be back.
So I guess we have no insiders in this area? ONLYU is just awesome, but has been noticeably quiet on these matters. And the amount of misinformation on the topic (see Cougarboard and post above ^) is a perfect example of how difficult it is to parse through the information BS these days.
And the conference has done an amazing job staying quiet- arguably to its detrimet, considering the B12 destabilization campaign.
So- we know nothing? Anyone? Please get this deal done. I agree with Jon Wilner- the longer this goes, the worse it feels.

Oh I remember camping out. Its crazy how football and basketball have flipped. Basketball used to be the hot ticket. Even a Thursday nighter against Colo St. would pull 12-13k, and lots of students. I knew our attendance had slipped, but wow, that crowd on Saturday was a shocker for anyone who was around for the Majerus years and before.
And while I’m a big football booster- I never miss a game, CC for over 20 years, etc…
I admit, I’ve become a very fair-weather basketball fan. Both NBA and college. If they win, I am THAT guy who will start showing up again.
…’then it shouldn’t exist’ is the really concerning part about this. We are not, nor have ever been a pure democracy where ‘majority rules’. In fact, our representative form of democracy is precisely to prevent majority, authoritarian, fascist or theocratic rule. Brush up on your Federalist Papers and read about ‘factions’ and how the founders believed the more views the better, because the minority views will be protected from the majority. Try #51.
So the idea that CRT ‘should not exist’ because some- maybe even a majority (doubt it) don’t like it, is completely contrary to our founding ideals and secular experiment. Plenty of us still want our children to learn true history and understand other’s experiences.
Canceling CRT is ignorant. The left may have started cancel culture, but no one should be surprised that the right has taken it to extreme levels based on fear grievance.
Thanks for the input. Guess we have to view this as the long game.
I see why my post was confusing. Was specifically referencing ProudUtes post above about cougarboard antics.
Definitely not talking about your post, just the interwebs generally, and the difficulty in finding accuracy in a sea of bs.
