So how did Oregon with their Nike money get bypassed in this whole deal, they have more recent success than either USC or UCLA.
They’re in. If not now it’ll be like the second and third wave of b12 defectors.

What’s going to happen to their beach volleyball program?
Interesting tweet from Seattle sports radio guy.
Big 12 could be in a position to tell Washington, Oregon, Utah, Colorado, Arizona, Arizona State that they have 4 spots and they're going to the first 4 to call back with a yes.
Looks like critical observer is one of those dumb fans over there.
Woof our "pod."Realistic Big 12.

NO thank you to Wazzu and Oregon St
Oregon and Washington to the Big 10. Cal and Standford go independent as academics matter so much more.
No need. The platforms and advertisers already know. How? Well, ever bought fan merch with a credit card? Did you watch Team A play last week, or did you watch Team B? Alumni of either school? Ever live in the same state as either school? Loads more examples of ways they can tell.It's gonna go full influencer before too long. Each school has a code they will give to their fans to enter for the streaming service the games are on. They payout to each school is proportional to the number of people that bought the streaming service.
They do it in the Cave too.Looks like critical observer is one of those dumb fans over there.
If every thing starts from scratch, I could see your argument on us being included in the 48. But if we’re starting with existing B10/SEC members being grandfathered in, we’ve got no chance.I agree this is likely.
if there are 48 in the Big10 +SEC I think we have a decent shot due to our rabid fan base and the streaming potential.
if there are 40, I think we are tier 2.
Standford would be a long flight. That’s all the way over in Hampshire England, but Stanford might be a bit closer.Realistic Big 12.

I appreciate your optimism, but I don't think there is any way we are Tier 1. As far as brand goes, we are lucky if we are even considered in the top half of the new Big 12. I don't see us making the cut for 48. Top 60 maybe, but not top 48.I agree this is likely.

Is there a point at which the ADs or university presidents admit this is all nuts and bad for their departments and schools and petition for a system we can all belong to that makes sense?
There is just no mechanism to make it happen.
I'd think that the only thing holding the Big10 back from announcing them is that they want to wait until after the UC regents vote on UCLA. To have the PAC implode with those two might prevent them from approving UCLA from going.
Once UCLA is in the clear, they'll pull that last domino and watch the whole thing tumble.
FOX drove this. They own 61% of BTN and are headquartered in LA.Good question, my guess is that similar to Texas and OU, USC and UCLA were the ones driving this together.
The crazy thing is, whatever this jumbled up car wreck of college football is headed toward, is probably not anywhere close to a model designed to produce the most income across the board.Sure, privately they all think that. Some, like Pollard, complain about it publicly.
Then they look at their pay stubs, and weigh their odds of future pay stubs with even more zeros in them, and decide they can live with it after all.
Yeah unless they kick out some of the lower teams in those 2 leagues which will never happen, we are a bubble team at 48, at best.I appreciate your optimism, but I don't think there is any way we are Tier 1.

Simpson isn’t very good now, but Central actually has the best winning percentage of any college football program in the state since 2016 (.825). Their coach was named national D3 football coach of the year. They went undefeated in the regular season last year and won two games in the D3 playoffs before losing in the quarterfinals.No ****. I think I'll just get into Division 3 football. Simpson/Central used to be a fun game (in the 80's/90's). Are they still good?
If Oregon and Washington have a backroom deal, someone’s going to know about it. It is the worst kept secret as it is right now. If UC Regents are cool with the state of play, they have to have a good idea of where the pieces are going. No one is pulling the wool over anyones eyes here. More than likely the PAC isn’t the last domino for the B1G.
