We are not writing this blog post to say “The Pac-12 is dead.”
That has yet to be seen. The future looked dark for the Big 12 when Texas and Oklahoma decided to bolt for the SEC, but now that conference is looking to have a renaissance (partially at the Pac-12’s expense, but).
Let’s be real here, losing Colorado probably isn’t a death toll unless the Arizona schools or others decide to bolt as well. It’s not like the Buffs were some conference staple, they spent most of their time out west being bad.
There’s still an opportunity to come back from this, however bleak it may seem.
