I’m hearing UW and Oregon is agreed and a done deal if the schools agree to it. $60m per school per year. USC tried to block it, but don’t have a vote, and was told to fuck off.

    Big belly laughs in the FOX media room when USC, hot off of destroying their fallback conference, demanded that they not take any more west coast schools.
    If this doesn't kill the "USC Respects Us!" sentiment, nothing will.

    Also, LOL, Mercury New always running the story as a UW, UO, Cal too high and Stanford narrative. What I'm hearing is UW/UO, Bay Area schools maybe one day or get fucked.

    It's awfully warm for conference realignment, but then that makes no sense whatsoever. Let's go with we'll? count our chickens when they hatch.

    After all this drama I can’t say that I hate Washington anymore. It’s more like a respect that we both fought through purgatory and leaving together. You can bash me all you want I don’t care. My hate is gone

    Hopefully it comes back
    Nah. I respect your coach, and I like the direction you guys are going.
    Time to fire the coach!

    Why would BIG offer full shares? Makes no sense since we have zero leverage at the moment.

    Gotta do what you can just to keep your hate alive
    Trying not to confuse it, with what you do to survive


    Trying times. With patience I foresee a full restoration of the hate though. LIPO.

    Even so, Jen Leopardprint would probably say, "We wouldn't think of it. Gimme that discount!

    And rep the B10!"

    @JoeEDangerously made a good point that without Oregon and Washington, USC might be looking at a division of UCLA, Nebraska, Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin, Illinois, Northwestern (or something similar). Said division is a lot harder to win throwing in Oregon and UW. I'm sure they'd much rather have the Bay Area schools as easy wins and non recruiting threats join.

    I would think just UW and Oregon their main beef is with Oregon. They'd be easier to recruit against if they were stuck in the Big 12 or zombie Pac. They also recruit in Southern California a lot more and talk a lot more shit.

    The schools would like easy wins but the networks want eyeballs

    And Cal and Stanford don't bring the eyeballs, not for their own fans nor for causal fans back east

    UW and UO will be more interesting for casual fans given our recent success
    My guess is Stanford is another bargaining chip for Notre Dame eventually to join when it reaches 24 at some point or they tell Cal to fuck off. Only thing I see as a bonus for the other BIG schools with the Bay Area schools joining is those teams all travel well and it’s a destination point for them. Don’t be surprised if there’s more games at Levi’s stadium due to the easy travel to get there flight wise via San Jose

    I'm old enough to remember the days when UW's gameday experience was considered very "BIG-10 like."

    Everyone says “the Bay Area is the 6th largest market”. My argument is, in regards to an engaged sports audience, they don’t crack the top 25. Don’t people realize they lost the Raiders and the A’s all in the same year? Technically they lost the warriors too as they went to the other side of the bridge, but that semantics. Probably would lose them too completely if they didn’t have one of the best rosters ever for almost a decade.
    Warriors are now the most expensive ticket in the NBA. Bay Area is built on tech money and those types will pay out the ass for a luxury experience at a modern venue, which the Warriors/49ers got. Giants have an undisputed top 3 ballpark.

    Meanwhile, Oakland venues were horse shit bad and no one wanted to go to those games causally. Raiders still did fine on attendance despite that, and despite being a horrible franchise for the majority of the last 20 years

    I'm actually serious now. This should engender a whole lot of Trooj hate. @UW_Doog_Bot and the old days notwithstanding.

    Nebraska classy.

    There's still time to hate. It's not over yet. Rest assured we still hate you and wish you nothing but the worst.

    Losing to UW at home while top 5, and now this?

    Tuff to see.

    I hate Oreegun.

    I think that fox/big ten learned their lesson going after shitty irrelevant programs with no fan support (but in a huge media market) with Rutgers.

    Oregon gets better ratings in the Bay Area than cal and Stanford combined. Doesn’t hurt that about 30% of recent alumni live there too
