AGGIES TO PAC-12? … so, I was calmly reading the sports section of The New York Times, the second-best newspaper in the country, when I came across a story titled “Another Season Comes and Goes While Pac-12 Struggles to Keep Up.”
It’s rare for The Times to do in-depth pieces on West Coast football, so I took the bait and delved into an interesting piece about money woes in my favorite conference … the Pac-12, as the name suggests, is composed of 12 universities, each of which has an athletic director running the show.
In this long and detailed piece, not a single current Pac-12 athletic director was quoted, but I did come across this: “Kevin Blue, the athletic director at California-Davis, who was previously a senior associate AD at Stanford, said the SEC and the Big Ten ‘are setting the market’ for coaching salaries.”
If you live east of the Rockies, the logical assumption here is that UC Davis has finally been offered membership in the Pac-12, making it now the Pac-13 … if that’s not confusing enough, how about that “California-Davis” reference? … the NY Times should know better … we are not California-Davis or Cal-Davis or Cal State Davis or Davis State or Jerome C. Davis A&M … we are UC Davis — Pac-12 member-to-be
