One catch is that UW is likely tethered to Oregon because the B1G wants 2 schools entering at a time.

So UW's entry may be conditional on that.

We prefer here to say Oregon's entry is conditional on UW's decision

Hearing UW didn't like the GOR because there was no DEI requirement

I doubt the big programs in the B1G are against this as Dellenger says. McMurphy now tweeting that it's full steam ahead to B1G for UW and Oregon.

UW needs Oregon's national brand and 90 year old pro sports booster whose company kisses Michigan and Ohio State's asses 24/7, is what I'm hearing.

Without those, the B1G scoffs at the Seattle market.

USC and UCLA killed the fucking 108 year old conference. There’s nothing left to save you ivory tower dip shits.

This ^

As much as it pains me to say this, the Pacific Coast Conference is not the Pacific Coast Conference without USC

I myself think it's about the maff of two schools, and of course they are the obvious 2 school package. The rivalry helps IMO. Starting about 5 years ago or so, I started hearing people talk about the big UW/UO tilt ... in parts of the country that rarely discussed west coast football other than the occasional acknowledgement that USC exists.

If I could have kept the conference in place as it was, I would have preferred that. Mixing with fat and pasty white people who eat too much cheese is only marginally less offensive than having to mix with southerners. The upper midwest, and the southeast excepting Dade County, are the hinterlands where the other people dwell. My people are on the coasts, thank you. They will always be strangers. Never forget that when it comes to conference voting shit. It's the one reason to bring Stanford along. Those fucking people know how to manage things.

The point is the league wants an even number of new teams. If there's a scenario where Oregon doesn't want to go to the B1G it could mean that the B1G wouldn't accept UW as a stand alone entry.

Oregon is not necessarily considered more valuable, just that there may be a certain calculus to this that depends on unanimity between UW, UO.

Pending financial doom apparently trumps nostalgia, student athletes, and a larger carbon footprint. I’m not counting on the B1G happening until the ink is dry. The UW think tank can still shrivel dick their way out of monetary prosperity for feels.
