[Husker] Fox bids $25 million for revised rights including Pac-12 Championship game

[Mike Jaixen]

Actually, I'm not. Smart move IMHO because I think you'll likely lower costs and 
increase attendance by not making fans travel.  What would be a good neutral 
site for the Pac-12?  


I think the hope is that USC or UCLA will host, and allow the Coliseum or Rose 
Bowl to be used.

Interesting to note that this Pac-12 CG will be played as a home/away game, 
sited at the stadium of the team with the best record.
