Every Wednesday, someone knowledgeable from agriculture, Extension, markets or weather would join Bryce in the DTN studio for an hour-long chat about an ag-related topic. When DTN developers came up with a color satellite unit, Bryce was part of a group of newsroom employees, including current DTN Multimedia Editor Nick Scalise and former newsroom employee Jeff LaGrone, who designed our talk show DTN on Air. And, of course, ag weather itself includes a lot of market analysis: How is this weather likely to affect crops and therefore the markets? There were several times during Bryce's tenure at DTN when he became a market analyst for extended periods. He started writing weather forecasts and commentary but was also a grains analyst when needed. (Shoutout to the Scholtings!)īryce became a full-fledged DTN employee in late 1991, at a time when our news and weather was delivered by satellite to monochrome (green on black or orange on black) screens. In particular, I remember he hosted a segment called Farm Family of the Week that sometimes featured folks from my hometown. And he was no stranger to DTN or agriculture.īryce covered the start-up of DTN, those who founded it and often turned to analysts here to flesh out his farm director reporting. I had been watching him on the local television station for years, as farm director and weatherman. When Bryce Anderson started work at DTN, he was no stranger to me. OMAHA (DTN) - Bryce Anderson, who has been the DTN ag newsroom's chief weather guru almost since the company began, will retire at the beginning of June. The PAC-12 is in big trouble, and no matter what happens next, the conference will never be as relevant as the Big Ten or SEC.DTN Senior Ag Meteorologist Bryce Anderson speaking at a Forbes Outlook panel in September 2019. How will USC and UCLA do in the Big Ten? (Photo by Jayne Kamin-Oncea/Getty Images) It’s not even a good attempt at a spin zone. Anderson can spin it however he wants when talking about making things “equitable for all of us,” but that’s nonsense. Losing your two biggest brands and programs is never a good thing. Will the conference survive? It certainly could, but it will never be the same. With the Bruins and Trojans headed to the Big Ten, the PAC-12 is in big trouble. If UCLA and USC leaving and taking their toys (money) with them is better for the PAC-12, it’s certainly not obvious to the average fan! (Photo by Jayne Kamin-Oncea/Getty Images)
We can sort of reverse course now and make it more equitable for all of us,” Anderson claimed. “There definitely was the belief that people here got used to accommodating those schools in a way that was unhealthy for the rest of us, and definitely more than they should have been given their showing lately. The ASU AD must also be a real optimist because he thinks the PAC-12 might be better off without its two biggest brands.

That is unique in the Pac-12 and our presidents are sensitive to that. We have high academic standards and if we get to that point (expansion) we’re going to look for schools that have that same belief, that same mission. We’re still looking for schools that are an academic, cultural fit. (Photo by Jayne Kamin-Oncea/Getty Images)Īnderson added, “Nothing is off the table and shouldn’t be because things are constantly changing. Will the PAC-12 survive without UCLA and USC?. Talks with the Big 12 broke down, and it would seem expansion is the next logical choice. Now, the PAC-12 is scrambling to remain relevant. They kept it under wraps, I’ll give them that,” Anderson told The Arizona Republic. It was certainly done underground, complete secrecy, deception, whatever. “There was no heads up, not even a hint that those schools were considering that. The decision changed the college football landscape forever, and the PAC-12 apparently had no heads up. The Trojans and Bruins stunned the college football world when both programs agreed to leave the PAC-12 for the Big Ten in 2024. USC and UCLA joining the Big Ten stunned Arizona State AD Ray Anderson.
