Texas State AD also voted contrary to the majority of the Sun Belt conference:

...
Texas State’s athletic director, Larry Teis, was the Sun Belt representative on the council. He cast a vote for the ban—against the wishes of the majority of the league’s schools.
Because Power Five conference votes count double, the result of the vote was 10–5 for the ban. Had Guerrero and Teis voted in accordance with the wishes of the majority of their respective conferences’ schools, the result would have been 8–7 against the ban.

It's been two years since this thread has been bumped. This is a hell of a story.
The media is starting to note how bad things have gotten for the Pac 12.

The beginning of one of the biggest Pac-12 football games of last season was preempted by a NASCAR truck race. When it became apparent the Lucas Oil 150 was going to run long, FS1 delayed the Stanford-Washington game by 15 minutes to 10:45 p.m. ET.

It wasn't enough of a delay. Even though the game was shifted to little-seen FS2 and the Fox Sports app, thanks to the trucks -- and Fox's commitment to them -- most viewers missed the entire first quarter.

"That was unfortunate," Pac-12 commissioner Larry Scott said recently. "I was not happy about that. … There were definitely [people] upset about that."

Scott is proud to say such an occurrence will no longer happen. The Pac-12 was assured by Fox officials a couple of weeks ago that, were there to be a future conflict, conference games will be shifted to … Fox Business Channel.

There is something to be said for small victories: Lou Dobbs over racin' trucks.

I've seen kickoffs get delayed or games running long and having to switch channels over. But never a prime time college football game bumped for truck racing.

Holy shit. This was said...

"Our schools have been great about boxing above their weight level, historically," Scott said this month in a statement that resonated around the league. "Our schools do perhaps more with less."

Really.

Boxing above your weight level? Do more with less? You have the Rose Bowl in your back yard and have fucking Arizona, Southern Cali, Northern Cali, etc...and you’re doing more with less?

Poor fucking PAC-12

In comparison it just shows what a great job Delaney is doing in the B1G and with the

Just sayin': The guy is 70 years old and he will be missed when he eventually retires.

Seems every year we are talking about the doom and gloom of a conference. Started with the collapse of the big east, then we thought the big 12 would be next as the b10 and sec poached them. The the acc looked really weak. Then it was the big 12 again. Now it’s the pac 12. Personally the pac 12 may be hurting financially but they don’t have near the internal issues of the big 12. And they’ve got more tradition at the top than the acc. The acc doesn’t have a single national brand. Still betting on one of those two conferences to be the next to fall. The pac just needs better leadership and recruiting to get back on track.
