Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
Jen allegedly made a promise to WSU not to leave the conference without them.
I do not know this to be true. It's a "What I'm hearing".
Would she even have that authority?
Ahh, the fog of war.

The regents who would vote on a move have a responsibility to place UW where they can best tend to the stadium debt.
And they will want to go where they consider their peers are which will be Michigan and UCLA in their minds, not Utah State, Oklahoma State, etc.
It will be a "Sorry the conference died because Arizona, ASU, and Colorado left, even though they did it because they knew we weren't sticking around long term, but hey, we can still play you guys in non con every year."
Which means it’s going to happen.
So…..prolly true
OTOH, she could just tell WSU that we will guarantee to continue booking the Apple Cup. Only problem there is if you think that series has been non-competitive as it stands, you ain't seen nothing, yet. Wait until WSU gets their WCC guys in there. It will turn into the equivalent of Alabama vs Alabama State.
but anyway, we probably fucked.
But what will dominate the headlines in the interim will be incessant pressure on WA legislators to keep “us” together when, in fact, there is no “us”.
It’s about as likely as Pup poasting here again but it’s possible.
