I say screw ESPN. Because the Pac-10 is seemingly the only conference they don't carry on their family of networks, they rarely give the conference any attention at all in their editorial coverage which is just plain unprofessional. Now that the Pac is the #1 RPI conference and now that Kevin Love, Mayo, and a whole host of top recruits are enlisting with the Pac, ESPN feels it needs a piece of the pie. I repeat: screw 'em. Tom Hanson - get on the horn with the Fox Network - NOT Fox Sports - and come up with your own tournament. But why put the thing in Anaheim?? Put it in the beautiful new Galen Center - the most college-basketball-friendly arena I've even been in. ESPN will be forced to throw the Pac a bone on their "Game Night" - if they can get their mouths off the Carolina/Duke Teet.

AMEN to EloiPfeiffer! Galen Center would be the perfect venue...and a great money maker for the University. Push for it Scott!

Ain't it a shame that the keeper o'the Zlotty for the Pac-10 happens to be Tom Hanson. He's been so pro establishment in dealings with the NCAA/BCS over the years that we always find a way to get screwed. With the crappy bowl opportunities for the Pac-10 runners up over the years, SC, Oregon,Cal all getting screwed in various instances...now, we have a top hoops league and just watch good ol Hansen get the Pac screwed again. Here's hoping that we end up with something great for a change.

WE'RE RANKED!
