Cal’s athletic department’s finances have been untenable for some time. They’re basically close to breaking even now with the current PAC-12 revenues.
When the conference dissolves… how screwed are they? Will they have to greatly reduce their athletic programs? Can their football program even survive?
Stanford can go independent and do fine, like Notre Dame or Army/Navy.
ASU & Utah will likely join Arizona & Colorado in the Big 12.
Oregon State & Washington State could go there or the MWC.
But the Cal Golden Bears have very few outs. Even @droski would agree: their speed can’t outrun bankruptcy.
