Can't we just make a NW league?
Oregon, Oregon State, Washington, Washington State, Utah, Cal, Stanford, Boise State, UNLV, Gonzaga, etc.
Regional rivalries, not against Rutgers or West Virginia..lol
The Big and Big 12 have their downsides including terrible travel for all the sports.
The Big would be partial share for many years.
Phil Knight can help create the league, receiving incredible goodwill from fans and good PR in sports.
Btw, my mom and dad had Bill Bowerman as their track coach back in the day.
I hope Oregon's landing spot is figured out soon.
Lanning wouldn't sign that extension if the Ducks were falling into oblivion.
And what's up with that pic of the Duck and Ohio States mascot in Autzen and saying something big is coming.. lol
Cheers
