This is really really important stuff, Dimitri. I remember reading Wilner's columns discussing U.C.L.A.'s budget deficit a few months ago when they initially came out and being disgusted (but not entirely shocked) by the financial irresponsibility in the Conference office. The amount of money lost on bureaucratic mismanagement, especially when compared to other conferences that are both financially and competitively more successful, is a damning indictment on Larry Scott's poor guidance. Every one of the 12 teams in the conference is being harmed by the Conference's ineffectual leadership. Certainly Guerreror's failures were our primary problem, but that has been addressed. Now the PAC 12 needs to clean house, strike a deal to get the network on every television, and then relocate its offices.

A serious analysis of the wider problem. Trouble, trouble and more trouble. And in the current circumstance a good possibility top PAC 12 athletes will be transfering . . . certainly some from the the California schools unless the severe lockdow is lifted. The PAC 12 is problematic, badly managed, not competitive and hurting the ability of UCLA to become what it might aspire to be even though its problems are mostly of its own making.
