Is it any wonder Pac-12 is looking for opponents to bail league out of the mess it made?
After reversing course — again — the league is allowing its teams to play nonconference games, but of course only on its terms.

What a great honor it must be to play a PAC-12 team. Because of all the conference games being cancelled due to covid, they are allowing out-of-conference teams the honor of stepping on the field against PAC-12 teams.
However according to the above article, there are conditions they must observe in order to receive this great honor:
The games must be played at the home field of the Pac-12 school and visiting teams must submit to Pac-12 COVID-19 protocols. Also, the games must be broadcast only by the Pac-12’s TV partners, Fox and ESPN. And the clincher — at least in the case of the offer that the University of Washington made to play BYU — they won’t get a cut of the TV money. That goes only to the Pac-12 host and the conference.
All this and more for the privilege of being on the same field as a Pac-12 team.
If a PAC-12 school called my school with those terms, I would tell that PAC-12 team to piss up a rope.
