How much time should pass before we stop hoping for a Big Ten invite?

How long should we keep up hope before we seriously resign ourselves to the reality that we’re stuck in a conference with SMU and San Diego State?

It's not happening. If the playoff expands to 12 and the PAC gets an auto birth why would UW our Oregon want to leave?

If the playoffs are 12 and UW is too scared to get a B1G championship, they could always get an at-large

B1G is the best for exposure, money, recruiting, and a chance at meaningful championships

2029.

Join the B12 tomorrow and kill the P12 forever.

b/c the SEC and B10 aren't going to give out AQ to G5, Pac however many and B12.

First time one of those 2 conferences gets a team left out, the playoffs will become 12 best teams regardless of conference.

over under is 2.5 years b4 change happens

Staying in the Pac-10 laughingstock is the littlest dick move you could make. So that is what I expect us to do.

Just wait until 2029 when the LA schools come crawling back.

Im sure its unpopular but fuck it. Stay in the pac. With the auto-bid who gives a shit?

Unless we are worried we wont be able to compete with NIL. In that case please leave the pac immediately.

Exactly this take the auto bid, big fucking fish in a small pond. Playoffs will lead to recruiting not the conference.

More games more exposure more recruits

There aren't any good choices or possibilities. The ACC idea sucks and will never happen. The Big 12 remnants don't move the needle otherwise would be the best move. The PAC is a joke.

The whole thing is fucked. I quit.

Fuck USC and UCLA forever.

Go Mariners!

I get that people don't like this take because it's not the "winner" mentality, but this is probably the best hand for UW to play at this point. Could be a big win in the short-term if UW can make the playoffs a few times in the next 5-6 years because that would probably get them moved up the food chain and into the Big 10.

If it comes to that, and DeBoer pulls it off, he is at least Dawgfather 2.0 at that point. Possibly slightly ahead due to overall impact on the program's future.

I'm afraid you're probably right that UW and Oregon need to have a little patience and play the longer game. Nothing is static that's for sure. It could be that the way into the inevitable NFL light alignment comes a couple years down the road.

When the door opens they better be at least as cutthroat as SC and UCLA and drop the rest of these retard programs like a sack of shit.

Most people have never been out of the PAC for games. The PAC has declined significantly from the 90’s. Even Pitt had more people at their games. Compared to the Big 10, the PAC is a joke.
So yes take the auto bid, recruit and use NIL resources. If Gonzaga and Boise State have taught us anything it’s live large and shine, shine above and beyond competition. Most likely Oregon and Washington will be on ESPN and Fox. Who cares about Cal, Stanford and Washington State. Let them be streamed
