Ok, this made me chuckle a little bit:

Do you own a TV network, TV station, streaming service, YouTube channel, Twitch channel, or maybe an Instagram/TikTok/X account with, say, 5,000 followers or more and want to broadcast an NCAA conference on your channel? My name is George Kliavkoff and I'd love to chat.

Drop me a DM on X

The DM and link to his twitter handle was a nice touch. I hope he is overrun with messages.

Seriously, you'd think there are enough billionaire alums of these schools (especially Stanford) that they could actually do this.  Start a new Pac-? Network and be willing to run it at a loss to keep these programs afloat. It's not really that different from just cutting a big check to the athletic department.  Then lure Boise and someone else.  You only need six teams to have a league in the FBS.

Honestly, if I were the enterprising sort, I'd love to take the reigns of that conference and rebuild the brand. Give me Nevada, UNLV,, San Diego State, Fresno State, NDSU, and SDSU,.I could definitely sell that to a network.

I dunno man. Maybe it’s because I live in the Bay Area that it feels wrong to gloat about cannibalizing 122 years of tradition and the best set of intersectional rivalries, when the benefit to Michigan is murky at best.
