Next year, the, Utes will start play in the, PAC 12. And the only reason the, PAC 10 feels compelled to become the, PAC 12, is that with 12 teams, instead of 10, they can hold a Conference Championship Game, and that means BIG money from TV for their Championship Game.
Now, anyone who reads this blog knows that I think this still sucks, even though we're, "IN". I think we need a 16 team playoff, but for right now? It's not going to happen.
So, since we're now a part of it, I have a proposition for the guys in charge of the, Pacific Athletic Conference. Have our Conference Championship Game in Las Vegas every year.
Yeah, I know, you think it deserves better, but hear me out.
Las Vegas is a day drive from 7 of the 12 schools in the conference, and a short flight from the rest. Las Vegas is a, "destination" location. People will go there even if they DON'T care about football.
The weather there in the first or second week in December is AWESOME!
It would only take your THINKING about it to make the, Las Vegas Tourism And Vistitors Bureau salivate.
You don't think THAT game every year would get the Tourist Bureau to convince the guys who own the casino's to put up enough money to, "spruce up", Sam Boyd Stadium? Maybe make it 50K seats instead of the 40K it has now? Some, Luxury boxes?
Hell, the, "Las Vegas Bowl" is BEFORE Christmas, because you don't want to sell rooms to low rollers between, Christmas and New Years if you held it THEN! So, you LV high rollers could sell ANOTHER week in December, for the PAC 12 Championship, BEFORE Christmas.
And the winner of the game is going to the Rose Bowl! OR, the BCS Championship game! How is that NOT a winner for an expanded, Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas?
I'd go every year, even if the Utes were NOT in it! I have a condo/time share down there, I don't use enough. Just to place a bet, and watch, Rita Rudner!
If you don't do this, Las Vegas, you are making a major mistake.
Oh, and this blog is now, copyrighted! Just so you can't say you thought of it first.
I'm not kidding, but I WILL sell this idea to you, for the right price. What stays in Vegas, sometimes starts in Utah.

ReplyDeleteRecommend you correct the title to "college." It reads better!
ReplyDeleteBased on the lack of comments to your latest blogs, I believe you have alienated everyone who read the Truth-Shtick before. Are you talking to yourself?
You continue to prove a college degree does not equate to critical thinking.
