Thought some of you guys might find the out going PAC 10 Commish's position on the time zone factor of interest.

Q. How much has the "time zone factor" hurt the Pac-10 in terms of national perception and your ability to maximize your broadcast package?

A: It's a major impediment. :blink: I saw it when I lived in Kansas City for 16 years. . . . The news flows from East to West -- it's like pushing boulders up hills to get information to go the other way. It's been helped by cable TV and it's been helped that Fox Sports Net is a Western company . . . but it's still been a struggle every day of the year to try to get the recognition we deserve.

Thanks. I'll have to file this away for the next "why haven't we gone Wacy discussion."
