Washington just beat Utah in a 10-3 barnburner. game was so inept, the only TD was a bobbled pass that ended up in a gift pick-six.

also, The Oregonian just released a phenomenal expose on Larry Scott and the university presidents:

basically the Pac-12 spends the most money, Scott makes the most money, and they have the lowest return on their investment both on the football field and financially.

* The Pac-12 office and the Pac-12 Networks studios occupy more than 100,000 square feet of space in the heart of downtown San Francisco, at a cost of $6.9 million in rent last year, with $11.7 million in additional deferred rent. The Big Ten Conference office makes its primary home in suburban Chicago and also, has a satellite office in New York. Annual rent: $1.5 million. The SEC’s rent is $318,000 per year for its headquarters in Birmingham, Ala.

* The SEC’s distribution to each member school during the last reported tax year: $41 million. Big Ten: $37 million. The Pac-12: $31 million.

* The SEC office spent $788,000 on travel expenses in the last reported fiscal year. The Pac-12 spent $3.1 million in the same reporting period.

* SEC commissioner Greg Sankey’s salary: $1.9 million. Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany: $2.4 million. Scott’s salary: $4.8 million, more than any conference commissioner and more than any Pac-12 football coach. By comparison, every SEC head coach is paid more than Sankey.
