his damned best to surpass Mike Tranghese as the biggest schmuck ever to occupy a conference commissioner's chair and HE IS SUCCEEDING. The failures and public missteps are colossal and at some point the question must be asked if the Chancellors and Presidents of the PAC 12 are even worse for permitting the charade to continue for as long as it has. We already know Carol Folt is useless and not much is ever expected out of Cal Berkeley but, Stanford you would expect to have a pulse and some of the others as well. Right now the PAC 12 schools resemble Randolph and Mortimer Duke after the orange futures collapsed and ESPN is Lewis Winthorp and Billy Ray Valentine waiting to buy. Some day it will make a great ESPN film.
