Plan B is the sell the pussified fanbase on how important our traditional ties to the remaining P12 schools are and that they are going to lead the creation of a sustainable conference that shares the same beliefs, blah blah blah.Welcome San Diego State, some other CA school, and 4-6 from the Big 12 to create the New PAC, shitty as the old one. They have to pick off the best remaining programs from the Big 12 to keep the AZ schools, Utah, and Colorado from bolting.I can't imagine Uncle Phil allows Oregon to stick around for that, though. Personally, my belief at this point is that whatever Oregon does is what UW will be forced to do.
It does seem like these deals are done in pairs. Oregon definitely has the willingness to act coldly and move on despite "traditions." They may not like tying their boat to UW, but if they need a partner from the Pac-12, we're it. The only other possibility is somehow Oregon forming a partnership with the likes of BYU or ND. Seems remote, but at this point everything seems to be on the table.Reports are that the Big-10 has already told Oregon and UW they're fine where they're at, so that tells us something about the market. I hate to say it, but the Big-12 might be our best play. The problem for us is I can totally see our AD and President talk about aligning with a conference dedicated to DEI. All of the Pac-12 commercials are centered on that theme and I bet they love that shit.The most likely outcome, IMO, Oregon and Washington stay in the Pac-12 for now. The conference recruits two more schools and Oregon starts shopping itself alone behind the scenes. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if ND goes, UW gets offered(tv market), Jen and company refuse to go without Oregon, then the big takes Oregon who laughs in our face while leaving.
