Pac-12 – SEC Football Challenge

Pac-12 – SEC Football Challenge

Andy Staples wrote this week about the shift in thinking among the Pac-10 schools. Like our beloved SEC, the Pac-10 has great Olympic and minor sports programs, powerhouse basketball (UCLA) and powerhouse football (USC). While the Pac-10 has the academic excellence some SEC schools aspire to, they never have had the depth of powerhouse programs or earning power of the SEC. This has resulted in schools like California using significant tax dollars to fund athletics, while Florida and Georgia exist almost entirely on private dollars and earnings.

Now that the Pac-10 is becoming the Pac-12 and joining the SEC in Modern College Football, we propose a Pac-12 – SEC Football Challenge in 2012 and 2013. This would create beautiful television and plenty of revenue to make up for losing a home game (I’m looking at you, Jeremy Foley). Here is a list of proposed games. In the interest of fairness, each team has a home and road game. Drop your ideas in the comments.

2012 Season:
Arizona State @ Mississippi: The Civil Rights/Federal Lawsuit Game
