Why doesn't the Pac-12 get any respect?

[FairWarning]

They are on a network that not many get outside of their area. Their championship game today is on FS1. At the same time, the Mountain West is on CBS, the American is on ESPN, and the MAC is on ESPN.

Sorry pac 12 fans but your commish does your league no favors in exposure.

Because most of the posters on here and viewers around the U.S. are in the South or East and don't watch it.

0 Titles This Millennium......Funny thing is I won the Bracket out of 70 people one year in the 1990's cause I was the only one that believed in the Pac-10 team that year.....Everyone else in the pool that year had an East Coast Bias (mostly Big East and ACC)............But then again I lived out West in college for a few years as well back in the day

as well as a very close family member strongly affiliated with a Pac-12 School and other family members that have lived out West at one time or still do, including the great cities of Los Angeles and Las Vegas although I still think San Diego is really nice, go visit LaJolla or Rancho Santa Fe north of there...Really nice.....I wish we had In-N-Out Burger here.

Have you even watched a PAC-12 game? UCLA can make a big run in this tourney if they D up. Arizona is a top 5 defensive team and Oregon is very, very underrated. You have no idea.

That has nothing to do with why it's have to follow them on tv.

they have no fans outside of the mt time zone or don't want to expand?

The season's been going on all year. You haven't watched them all year?

Huh?

Arizona is the only PAC-12 team with any chance for the title; weak conference overall.

It is weak this year from top to bottom but UCLA can make a run. The tourney is so wide open, they have a shot just like anyone else.

What are we going to watch them on? Get on a major network and we'll break down beavers hoops. The PAC 12 was on 3rd tier channels. Even my WM Broncos were on more TV's then Arizona- UCLA.

I want to stick up for the Pac 12 but I can't. Exposure is absolutely terrible as far as basketball is concerned. Football exposure is ok but as far as basketball is concerned I must admit it sucks a bit. I hear Oregon is alright but I have no idea since I haven't seen them. Saw Arizona play twice this year and both times they looked liked they couldn't crack the top 50 in the nation. These teams it seems to not get much exposure until the Big Dance when networks are forced to show them. ON a side note, Washington St., who they?

Exactly what I'm talking about. It has nothing to do with the quality of play, its all about the PAC 12 wanting to be like the big boys, but fall far short thanks to a dumb tv policy.

Are you saying you don't get the channels they're on? They're on ESPN networks all the time. They're always the late game but most East Coast people are asleep and aren't going to stay awake to watch them play.

Congrats on Western Michigan winning the MAC as I was at the game last night with a buddy of mine with alot of Good seats available

Oregon went as far as the Hoosiers last tournament.. And Indiana was suppose to win it according to you

 

[Albatross]

Oregon has the most hideous court in D1.....makes it tough to watch on the tube. Zona, UCLA, & Oregon could all make deep runs.
