    @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
    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.
    There are plenty of football fans in the area


    I’ve been to those SF games down there and I’m unsure where those people com from. They’re displaced for sure. Compared to the Stanford and Cal fans they’re miles apart

    I don't trust Canzano

    I don't see Oregon staying in the Pac when Phil reached out to the B1G after the USC announcement and Oregon met with the B1G before UW did

    Canzano's sources have all been pac12 fluffers. He only has a bs detector for the bullies in these situations. Little guy can tell him anything and he will write it as fact regardless if he actually believes it.

    Works when you are calling out Larry Scott for being an ass. Doesn't work when you're talking about the future of a shit conference where the little guys are getting left behind.

    All these leaks of “they won’t go and kill the P12 unless someone else goes first” is the equivalent of a firing squad where 5 people shoot the condemned at the same time so no one knows who fired the kill shot.

    Fire the damn kill shot at the same time UA ASU UW UO.

    He's not CanzanoFS for nothing.
