Cal To Face Texas Tech In Independence Bowl

Game Scheduled For Dec. 16 At Independence Stadium

BERKELEY - Following a three-game-win streak to close the regular season, the California football team has accepted an invitation to play in the Independence Bowl on Dec. 16 in Shreveport, Louisiana.

The Golden Bears (6-6) will meet Texas Tech (6-6) from the Big 12 Conference. The game will air on ESPN and begins at 6:15 p.m. PST.

"We would like to thank the Independence Bowl for selecting us," Head Coach Justin Wilcox said. "Our team finished the regular season strong to earn this selection and is excited to have the opportunity to play one more football game together."

It will mark the third time Wilcox has led Cal to a bowl game, and it's the 25th bowl appearance in program history. Cal is 12-11-1 all-time in bowl games. The Bears last played in a bowl right before the pandemic in December 2019 when they defeated Illinois in the Redbox Bowl.

Cal is led by star running back Jaydn Ott, who won the regular season Pac-12 rushing title with 1,260 yards on the ground to go along with 11 touchdowns. Redshirt freshman Fernando Mendoza has been a revelation at quarterback since earning the starting job halfway through the season. He's completed 62.4% of his passes for 1,447 yards and 13 touchdowns over eight games played, including starts in the last seven contests. He was named the Pac-12 Freshman of the Week after leading the Bears to a 27-15 win over Stanford in the 126th Big Game.

The Golden Bears have had a knack for big plays on defense, tying for the nation's lead in fumbles recovered (14) and ranking tied for second in turnovers gained (25). Cal also has three defensive touchdowns to rank tied for 13th nationally. The Bears' defense is anchored by freshman inside linebacker Cade Uluave, who was named the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week two of the final three weeks of the regular season. Edge rusher David Reese has surged lately, recording 5.5 sacks over the final three games and earning Bednarik National Defensive Player of the Week honors after Cal's regular-season finale at UCLA.

Cal rebounded from a challenging stretch of the season in which it faced a school-record four nationally ranked teams in a row. After sitting at 3-6 following a loss at No. 6 Oregon, the Bears reeled off victories over Washington State, Stanford and UCLA to finish the regular season.

Texas Tech, which also won three November games to become bowl-eligible, is led by All-Big 12 First Team running back Tahj Brooks, who ranks third nationally in rushing yards (1,443) and rushing yards per game (120.3). Linebacker Ben Roberts was named the Big 12 Co-Defensive Freshman of the Year and punter Austin McNamara was picked as the Big 12 Special Teams Player of the Year.

The Bears' first bowl game was the 1921 Rose Bowl, where they beat Ohio State 28-0.

Whatever Happened To Josh Rosen

by; BenJarmin Munguia

After a successful college career at UCLA, Rosen had the exact opposite when he landed in the NFL.

Rosen was taken 10th overall by the Arizona Cardinals, the 4th quarterback selected, just behind Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold, and Josh Allen. However, the UCLA star and the Cardinals still had to hope for a successful franchise.

"I promise you will not regret this," Rosen told former Cardinals GM Steve Keim after he got drafted. "We're going to win some Super Bowls. I promise you."

Josh Rosen was under his first year with first-year head coach Steve Wilks. As they entered the season with high hopes and weapons like the future hall of fame wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald and running back David Johnson, it seems the team could shoot at the very least an 'improving season.'

The Cardinals finished 3-13 and last place in the NFL. The team was dead last with 225 points. (14 PPG). Roses finished his rookie year in the NFL with 11 touchdowns and 14 interceptions, with the only highlight that year being beating the Green Bay Packers in Lambeau on a game-winning drive.

The season was so disappointing that Steve Wilks was fired after his first year as head coach.

On January 8th, 2019. The Cardinals hired former Texas Tech head coach Kliff Kingsbury after rumors were circulating that The Cardinals would draft Texas A&M quarterback Kyler Murry. This would mean that Rosen was going to get traded.

Kingburry just did as the rumor was told. The Cardinals drafted Murray with the #1 overall pick in the 2019 NFL draft. The very next day, Arizona traded Rosen to the Dolphins for a second-round pick.

However, there was yet to be an answer for what the Dolphins had in mind for the former 10th pick overall. Rosen was listed behind quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick and just ahead of 3rd-string quarterback Matt Haack.

Josh Rosen played in 6 games, starting 3. He completed 53% of his passes, throwing for one touchdown and five interceptions. He was then released in September 2020.

The former UCLA star remained positive: "I was drafted in the first round, and I think people around the league still think I can play to a certain extent. Whenever that opportunity comes, wherever it comes, I just want to be prepared for it," Rosen said via ESPN.

Josh would find new light after signing with the San Francisco 49ers in December 2020. However, he did not get any playing time at the bay. He was released in August 2021 after being unable to compete for a roster spot behind Trey Lance and Jimmy Garapollo.

The Atlanta Falcons' second-string quarterback, AJ Macaron, suffered a season-ending injury in August 2021. They signed Josh Rosen, who would back up starting quarterback Matt Ryan.

Rosen only had a thread of playing time in the Peach State, playing in 3 games. Rosen did not complete more than a single pass in one game, completing 2 of his 11 passes and throwing two interceptions on the year. He was released after the season had ended.

Rosen signed a contract with the Cleveland Browns in July 2022 but was released before the regular season started. In December 2022, he was also part of the Minnesota Vikings practice squad but was released after the 2022 season ended.

Rosen is not currently on an NFL team, but he is known to have had a short shot with the NFL. As the saying goes, "You only have one shot."

What other NFL players were quickly wiped away from a roster after their big day at the draft?

Douchebaggery and the fall of the PAC (part 1)

There have been a lot of articles that have come out recently on the fall of the PAC revealing all kinds of details. Fans and media personalities have been seizing on some points and ignoring others that I think are far more obnoxious.

I am going to voice my opinions of what I see. These are my views on what went down in the PAC based on the variety of post mortems on the PAC that have come out recently from people like John Wilner. Maybe I don't have a full picture. Maybe you disagree with my conclusions, but I hope you consider them nonetheless.

Lets talk about this in the framework of a timeline of PAC disintegration.

Following the departure of longtime PAC target The University of Texas to the SEC, the PAC conference starts to do due diligence on whether any of the 8 remaining Big 12 schools might merit PAC inclusion. It gathers information on the members of the remaining "Big 8" and presents it's findings to the leaders of the conference in a meeting to evaluate potential targets. USC's president Carol L. Folt reportedly aggressively questions why the conference is even discussing these schools. The other PAC schools' leaders defer to her strong negative stance and expansion of the PAC dies right then. Now less than a year later, Folt would bail out on the PAC in the middle of the night taking UCLA and the PAC's most important media market with her on the way out. It strongly suggests Folt knew the answer to her question, that they Pac media footprint of a mere 67M residents was something like 55% the size of the Big Ten Media footprint and had long been stifling the media value of the PAC's historic National brands. This was the reason the PAC chased UT for 35 years....to add a single school and get media relevance in all of Texas's markets including the big 4 DMAs(DFW, Houston, SA, and Austin). Adding Texas would expand the conference media footprint by almost 50%!!!! This leaves Folt looking like a feckless partner.

The PAC Commissioner, George Kliavkoff, is not taking enough blame, part 1. "Really, Tobi? Everyone blames that guy...." Yes, really. When USC and UCLA left, TCU and Texas Tech should have been immediately contacted if you wanted the Dallas Market. I am guessing that at that point though that the Big 12 members had FINALLY gotten around to signing the GOR extension. If that was the case and TCU and Tech were gone, SDSU should have been added with Gonzaga as the next most sensible pairing. That was the right play. It would have protected a PAC recruiting presence in Southern California and would have dramatically improved the conference's basketball status--- two things that were big for at risk program Arizona. Instead it was SDSU who most PAC schools wanted and everyone could tolerate and SMU who was viewed as a toenail in the best new media market available within a reasonable travel distance. I don't think anyone in the PAC or the media partners loved SMU with it's tiny fanbase. The Pac leadership misidentified it's biggest problem at that moment (shitty basketball leading to an Arizona departure.) There is a saying, "Don't let a good crisis go to waste." The loss of USC and UCLA was a get out of jail free card for the PAC to add ANYONE that made sense bypassing the constant reservations over academics. But the commissioner deferred.

The PAC Commissioner is not taking enough blame, part 2. It was revealed that the PAC had their own paid consultants value the PAC at roughly $35-37M per school. ESPN offered $30-32M. In that scenario you ask for $38-40M hoping to get $35. Then a professor at a university valued the remaining PAC schools at $50M each (without USC and UCLA) and took it up with his president. That President made it an issue and the commissioner buckled. When faced with having to to tell a president "No." the commissioner chose instead to keep his powder dry. The Pac's counter offer of $50M lead to ESPN walking out the door. Fans want to blame that professor and the mystery president. That is letting the Commissioner off for lacking balls in a moment that called for it. You hired your people to evaluate the value of the PAC, then you didn't back their conclusion because it was politically inconvenient.

The PAC Commissioner is not taking enough blame, part 3. It was no secret that Colorado was talking to the Big 12. The PAC Commissioner had to be the only person in North America who didn't know. That was inexcusable. Simply thinking about why Colorado would be talking with the Big 12 is all that was required to do a lot to sour that departure. As an outsider looking in, it appears Deion took the job at Colorado and began immediately campaigning to get the school into the Big 12 where he could recruit Texas and even Florida much better. Once it became clear that was the driving force, SMU and Rice should have been added to erase most of the gain of joining the Big 12. Floating a rumor that if Colorado left, their spot would be offered to Colorado State might have been the cherry on the top to kill CU's momentum to go.

The PAC Commissioner is not taking enough blame, part 4. When the PAC lost USC and UCLA and southern California, they fell from 67M in their footprint (a small number in the power conference tier), to about 43M people. That was TINY in power conference terms. This matters in a HUGE way. This very much diminished the appeal of the PAC to linear networks. The CW for example is a nationwide network, with affiliates in every market. How valuable is PAC basketball to the CW affiliate in Tampa when the PAC' closest team is in Colorado and the next closest is in Arizona? Having a large media footprint means that there is a reason for viewers in a distant market to have a reason to tune in to see a Arizona Cal game. Expansion would have made the valuable PAC brands MORE valuable to linear providers, allowing the per team payouts to stay in the same neighborhood even adding schools with smaller fanbases. It appears that the PAC commissioner locked in to getting a deal from Apple. Apple wants large fanbases and the PAC not expanding removed linear competitors who would have driven up the market price. In very real terms, the commissioner blew the media negotiations by initially driving off ESPN and then keeping the PAC media offerings as unattractive as they could possibly be for linear providers. Without competition from the Linear Networks to push up the price, Apple was able to keep the guaranteed minimum payments low.

the Meat Life College Football Preview Part 1 - Conference Realignment and the Fall of the Pac 12

It’s the summer 2010. The Big 12 is reeling, having just lost Nebraska to the Big Ten. At this time, there were rumors that the Pac 10 was gunning to add Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Texas, Texas A&M, Texas Tech, Colorado, from the Big 12. Ultimately that move to make the Pac 10 the first 16 team superconference derailed. The Pac 10 wanted to control third-tier broadcast rights, while Texas wanted its own third-tier network. Colorado was the only one out of that original Pac 10 move to go out west in 2011. Texas A&M and Missouri announced they were leaving for the SEC to begin in 2012, the rest of targeted Big 12 schools stayed, Texas got the Longhorn Network from ESPN, and the Big 12 added West Virginia and TCU to get to 10 teams.

In the background of those things, the Big East dies as a football conference. Then things stabilized for a while.

Fast forward to the summer of 2023. The Pac 12 has USC and UCLA for one more season before their move to the Big Ten. First Colorado and then Arizona, Arizona State, and Utah announced they will move to the Big 12 in 2024. And then the nail in the coffin, Oregon and Washington announce their move to the Big Ten in 2024 as well. A once proud Pacific 12 Conference fell to four schools, with little options left for the remaining schools. 

From a possible superconference to near oblivion, the Pac 12 has had a rough go at it this summer. I declared years ago that the Big 12 would die, but I was wrong. I had the wrong conference. The other Power Conferences left the Pac 12 for dead.

So for now, here is what the Power Conference landscape looks like for 2024:

How did we get here?

2021 - Red River to the SEC, Big 12 Solidification

In the fall of 2016, the Big 12 explored options for expansion. The Oklahoma president at the time David Boren was bullish on expansion, wanting to make sure that the conference that Oklahoma was housed was secure in their future. In the wake of six years before, who could blame him. Ultimately the conference decided against expansion, but its research in candidates proved helpful later.

The first domino to fall in this current conference realignment era was in the summer of 2021, it was initially leaked but then confirmed that Oklahoma and Texas would leave the Big 12 for the SEC at the end of the Big 12 grant of rights deal in 2025. They would move that up a year to 2024.

I haven’t been able to find an article about it, but I believe this was the genesis. For the 2021 season, Oklahoma would host Nebraska for the 50th anniversary of the Game of the Century. In the summer while the networks were working out kickoff schedules for the September games, Oklahoma requested that Fox, who had first pick for Big 12 games that weekend, have the kickoff in primetime so there could be a whole day of festivities to celebrate the anniversary. Fox declined, as they wanted the game featured for their “Big Noon” timeslot, 11am local time. Due to the broadcast agreements, both Oklahoma and Texas have been slotted at a bunch of 11am games.

I can’t verify this either, but after being spurned by Fox and feeling they had no backing from the Big 12 for their greivance, either OU president Joseph Harroz or AD Joe Castiglione spearheaded a move with Texas to the Southeastern Conference. The rumor was they were working on this behind closed doors with SEC officials and that upset Texas A&M officials leaked the news, forcing those talks to speed up in public.

Now, the 11am scheduling snubs weren’t the only reason why Oklahoma and Texas were leaving. The Big 12′s grant of rights deal with Fox/ESPN was set to expire in 2025 and the networks were not wanting to negotiate a deal yet. The SEC, meanwhile, had just signed an exclusive broadcast deal with the SEC set at $811 million a year from 2024-2034. OU and Texas were looking for a financially secure future, and in 2021 the SEC had it and the Big 12 didn’t.

From there, battling for survival and working quickly, the Big 12 then adds BYU, Cincinnati, Houston, and UCF from 2023 onward. Those four schools were the primary candidates in the Big 12′s expansion search in 2016. Since Oklahoma and Texas were sticking around for a bit, there will be a season of overlap with the Red River rivals and the Big 12 newbies. With the exits and new entrants, it would put the Big 12 back to 12 schools for the first time since 2010.

2022 - LA Powers Leave the Pacific

While in 2021 the Pac 12 didn’t feel threatened, they should have.

As cited earlier, in the summer of 2022 a bomb dropped: USC and UCLA were to leave to the Big Ten starting the 2024 season. As with the Oklahoma and Texas move to the SEC, there were financial stability concerns that USC and UCLA has with the Pac 12. The Pac 12 Network was a bust, with carriage issues and only 14.8 million subscribers. The larger broadcasting contract the Pac 12 has with ESPN/FOX was worth $250 million per year but set to expire in 2024, with the networks yet to sit and negotiate an extension. Just by comparison, the Big Ten Network has 50 million subscribers and the Big Ten just inked a deal with broadcast channels CBS/NBC/FOX for a record $1 billion per year from 2023-2030.

The kicker was that Fall the Big 12, newly enforced by their 4 school expansion inked a couple summers earlier, jumped the line and got a renewal of broadcast rights with ESPN/Fox worth $380 million per year from 2025-2031. What of the Pac 12 broadcast rights? Up in the air.

2023 - Pacific Mass Exodus

The Pac 12 struggled to grab a broadcast deal. Their current partners ESPN/FOX were not budging, so the Pac 12 went shopping. There was a possible deal with the CW, but that fell through and eventually the ACC gave some of their third-tier rights to the CW. 

While things with broadcasts rights were in limbo Colorado decided enough was enough. To preserve a future, it was announced on July 27th that the Big 12 would welcome back Colorado beginning in 2024. Colorado returning to the conference they were a part of at their formation in 1996 and the conference’s predecessor the Big Eight since 1948. The Pac 12 losing one of their star coaches in Coach Deion Sanders.

Despite the Pac 12′s best efforts, the best broadcast rights offer was from Apple, offering an exclusively streaming broadcast package to the Pac 12 up to $20 million per school or up to $180 million per year to the conference. And those figures would depend on subscriber numbers. So while the other Power Conferences had deals inked with linear broadcast partners until at least 2030, the Pac 12 was set to expire and their best offer was from a streamer relatively new to sports broadcasting.

So a few days later, Oregon and Washington announced earlier in the day on August 4th they would be heading to the Big Ten in 2024. Later in the day, the rest of the “Four Corners” schools Arizona, Arizona State, and Utah would join Colorado and sign with the Big 12 also in 2024. Cal and Stanford tried to escape to the ACC, but was not approved by the voting members of the ACC.

So Cal, Stanford, Oregon State, and Washington State are now stranded. We’ll see what happens to those schools. And dead are the days of a major regional college athletics conference. The Power Conferences are all national conferences.

Football-wise, this could be the Pac 12′s best season with so many big name QBs returning including the Heisman Trophy winner USC’s Caleb Williams. There are probably six schools that have a legitimate shot at a Pac 12 title. And now it will be an amazing sendoff to a conference that will essentially disappear after the 2023-2024 academic year.

Other Stuff

Here’s a look at where the money is according to 24/7 Sports:

FBS TV contracts

Big Ten: $1 billion/year through 2030 (FOX, CBS, NBC)

SEC: $811 million/year through 2034 (ESPN)

Big 12: $380 million/year through 2031 (ESPN and FOX)

Pac-12: $250 million/year through 2024 (ESPN, FOX)

ACC: $240 million/year through 2036 (ESPN)

AAC: $83.3 million/year through 2032 (ESPN)

MWC: $45 million/year through 2026 (CBS and FOX)

MAC: $8 million/year through 2023 (ESPN and CBS Sports)

Sun Belt: $7 million/year through 2031 (ESPN)

Conference USA: $4.4 million/year through 2023 (ESPN, CBS Sports Network, NFL Network, Facebook, Stadium)

The ACC deal with ESPN is the longest termed contract, inked to 2036. And at $240 million per year, while a lot compared to some of the other conferences, is the lowest of the remaining Power Conferences. The ACC signed their deal before anyone else back in 2016, before seeing what the Big Ten and SEC would get. And it is a mistake that Florida State officials can’t seem to get over, calling the difference in revenue “insurmountable” when comparing to their SEC colleagues in the same footprint. While Florida State may want to leave the ACC, they may take their time to devise an exit strategy. So realignment has calmed a bit.

Confused yet? Yeah me too. 2024 will be a crazy college football year with all these schools in new conferences and the debut of the 12 team playoff. In the meantime, we’ll have 2023 becoming an end of an era.

My season preview will be coming soon!
