not so true for basketball. the U has big apathy for basketball due to being
second class to the Jazz in their own city. The U has regular pathetic attendance for men's basketball.
but the U does have many other advantages and overall I like the Pac-12 better than WCC even though Pac-12 has been down for awhile.
