Stacked Pac-12 enters what could be its final basketball season

Published Sat, 23 Nov 2024 16:14:50 GMT

The Pac-12 produced one of the great dynasties in sports history and some of the best college basketball players the game has ever known.John Wooden’s UCLA Bruins won 10 titles in 12 years with Kareem Abdul-Jabbar then Bill Walton. Reggie Miller played in the Pac-12. So did Gail Goodrich, Gary Payton, Sean Elliott and Jason Kidd. Now, after 108 years of history and tradition, the Pac-12 could be entering its final chapter. Ten of the conference’s schools are headed out the door next season and the remaining two are facing uncertain futures, turning the “Conference of Champions” into a conference of ashes.“I’m incredibly sad about the breakup of the Pac-12,” said first-year California coach Mark Madsen, who played at Stanford. “In the back of my mind, I hope in 20 years we’ll be able to put it back together in some way. A lot of West Coast rivalries, even in different conferences, will still try to find a way to play each other.”Until then, they get one more shot as confe...

Hanson, an alderman for the city about 20 miles (32 kilometers) south of Nashville, also faced criticism about her background beyond the white supremacist support, much of which was uncovered in investigations by WTVF-TV. The controversy was amplified in national coverage, including by comedian John Oliver on his HBO show, “Last Week Tonight.”With tensions already running high, the election was punctuated by the Williamson Herald newspaper revealing on Tuesday that flyers about “so-called ’leftist journalist’ propaganda” had been attached to their buildi...
