On this week’s episode of No Truck Stops, the gang ditches 2023 Pac-12 preview discourse to discuss the emerging details of the demise of the Pac-12. Topics include new details about the TV deals, non-revenue sports suffering, and more.

Plus, the crew discusses which Pac-12 football teams will be worse or better off in their new conferences. Can Oregon and Washington succeed with half as much money as the rest of the Big Ten schools? Will Utah run the Big 12? We answer these questions and more!

Finally, the gang welcomes Parker Fleming (@statsowar on Twitter) to discuss Expected Points Added and advanced analytics in the Pac-12. Which Pac-12 team does Parker think was overrated according to the analytics? Can USC actually win a national championship, and what will it take? Is the Oregon State hype perhaps unwarranted? Parker answers these questions to help us get ready for the 2023 Pac-12 season.
