I like that a bunch of Ducks just learned how unimportant they really are. Fox came calling and the only one that moved the needle was USC, and of course UCLA got the little brother pity invite. UW and Duck not part of the equation. I was under no illusions that UW sucks so no surprise there, but I love all the Ducks learning that they are worthless just like us.
We will end up landing somewhere with Duck because of TV, but what is happening with Beav and CUOG is the most hysterical thing in all of this.
They had their little run with Chimp and his recruits. Now they're nothing nationally. Kids around here wore whOregon gear for a while but nobody does now. A few kids in Texas probably think all Uncle Fill's gadgets are cool, but there are 15 other closer schools, plus Big 10-14 schools that are interested too.
They won Rose Bowels with 2 coaches since Chimp. The last one was what, 2 years ago? lol

Wilner is the west coasts version of Finebaum. You love and hate him, but ultimately he's the #1 source for information. What other sources do we? have that are reliable and cover the entire conference that have his coverage? Not many.

How can anybody look at this and keep going on about how it's all about media markets? The most valuable college football property is obviously the SEC, the map in the above link would have you believe that their media market footprint is absolute garbage. It is clear that marketing and "being good at football" are also a huge part of the value proposition a school brings.
If you look at that map having the LA schools in the Big10 without more west coast teams coming isn’t sustainable….it’s just a matter of who, and how much they can play hardball and negotiate down the money for whoever they bring.
If the rest of the Pac had any balls they would cancel every game in every sport against the LA schools and force those teams into crazy travel schedules to play anybody…won’t change much but would be a huge FU to them for screwing the rest of the Pac over and would really screw with their athletic departments. But pretty much everyone in any position of power on the West Coast are p*ssies and it would never happen.

No doubt that half of the conference AD’s will be having farewell ceremonies when SC visits this year and next.

Colin Cowturd was talking about how most of the PAC schools are located in cities that have other pro sorts teams they have to compete with for customers. True for at least half of them.

lol how long was this saved as a draft and I didn't notice? drunk poasting rules!
Regionally they can still recruit California.
They tried to be a national brand and failed.

As per usual, no one will care about UCLA.
