    "Knight has been 'working the phones' cold-calling decision-makers in other conferences to see if they're interested in adding Oregon, according to CBS Sports."

    The qucks here assure me that he's not cold calling though.

    Hi I'm Phil Knight and I'm calling on behalf of Oregon University. Do you need any teams in your conference? We have a great brand. Everyone says so.

    I’m torn. I find this embarrassing as hell, but at the same time, I appreciate the fucking effort.

    The article is based on the comment(s) of one CBS Reporter.

    Big headlines. Lots of speculation and rumors. Very slim on substance.

    Repeating allegations made by another reporter?

    It raises plenty of questions the author should have asked his source and plenty of questions to address to the author of this shit.

    Who? What? When? Where? Why? et al.

    Specifics?

    Click bait at it’s finest.

    Sitting and staring at the phone is much better.

    Why is it that people seem to believe that the Pac-12 can't say fuck it and go after 4 Big12 schools for a total of 14. Two divisions E/W with a CCG in Vegas. Poach Baylor, TCU, Houston and Okie St. Solid FB, BB and Baseball.

    You get DFW and Houston TV markets. And Texas recruiting. Add a time zone. Hell throw a bone to Kansas and KSU. Let the remains of the Big12 find suitable schools to reformulate the Conference.

    The new conference would be the Big-Pac14.

    If Ucla can't leave then they run LA. With or without Stanford leaving the Pac looks better

    Ucla and Cal hold down California

    If you're a B12 school, would you really want to join the full PAC as a minority member after seeing how inept the school leadership has been the past 10+ years?

    Big12 just announced a new commissioner so we shall see how well they’re run moving forward. I like George K. thus far.

    We don't have to do anything, because B1G respects us more.

    Calling it OU is a great way to sell it to the SEC

    Where did I say it was “fake news”? Simply stated it was shoddy journalism . . . Click bait.

    I hear Jen is sleeping with her phone. Cause academics rule the decision making process when it comes to football conferences.

    And make no mistake. The B1G is a football conference first, last and always.

    lol. You are so fucking clueless.

    Look up the academies prowess of their member schools.

    You don't have to believe me even. The B1G doesn't view Oregon as a worthy member in that regard.

    The B1G valued academics so much they chose UCLA over Furd or Cal.

    They had the LA market locked up with SC alone. They passed on Cal & Furd because they wanted the SC/UCLA game each year and easier travel schedules for their athletes.

    Academics rule! Lol......

    Stick to programming AND telling the story repeatedly about how YOU played at a football camp in Eugene when you were a senior and Eugene sucked.

    Tell me more about Warshington’s 0-12 season during your matriculation there.

    Since you’re so smart, offer your “advice and insight” to Jen Cohen ASAP or perhaps, send another email to Karen Ramming and tell her what you really think. It doesn’t matter whether she’s still employed by Washington or not.

    White flags come easy. If the B1G wanted academics they would have grabbed Furd and the second biggest TV market in Cali. They chose UCLA and a rivalry.

    Furd has the better academics and athletic program. UCLA is a nothing burger where football is concerned.

    Jen is having her iPhone surgically attached to her hand so that when the B1G calls she won’t miss it.

    Sorry, didn't read the Lane Train's latest geriatric tirade.

    I hope UO just goes with ND to the B1G. Rather not interact with these poor retard fucks going forward.
