    So true!  Talk about given in to Ohio State's tantrums.  Again, what is with the Big Ten's refs?  Are you sure these refs aren't really Pac 12's rejects? 🤨

    Some of them are... :

    WWW.FOOTBALLZEBRAS.COM
    Pac-12 Conference has seen most of its referees depart this offseason.

     

    "Four referees have resigned and a fifth, Mike Mothershed, retired after a 28-year run in the conference. Referees Chris Coyte, Francisco Villar, and Steve Strimling have been hired by the Big Ten Conference. Joining them in the Big Ten is center judge Jim Wharrie, who worked at least 3 games last season as referee... "

    Amid the Pac-12's dissolution, it's easy to overlook those who proudly carry the conference's lasting legacies

     

    "The Big Ten has been the most active conference in this space. It added a total of 16 Pac-12 officials – both on-field and instant replay – since the end of the 2022 season. Six of them moved over before the 2023 season once USC and UCLA announced they were leaving the Pac-12. Ten more have matriculated to the Big Ten for the upcoming season."

     

    I wondered how this would effect (infect) the new home of OBD when I first heard this was the case.

    I cannot hardly believe it, as I'm starting to feel sorry for Oregon State.  Imagine that coming from someone who has truly danced-on-their-grave, and had a ton of fun at their expense.

     

    Stealing 30 million from Oregon over the next ten years set me off, but damn...they are now circling the bottom of the toilet bowl.  You saw how they got killed by Cal, when that has never happened like that before.  The talent gap between a G-5 team, and an ACC team has already become apparent.

     

    But did you see their schedule next year?  Sam Houston, Appalachian State, the Cougars twice...yikes.  But in 2026 they move up in their schedule to play....former Mountain West teams. Whew!

     

    I get it, they've settled into their 'niche, as they play on the CW for an audience of 400,000 while we play on a major network to four million and more.  Someone on the forum wrote it best..."it just gets sadder and sadder."

     

    Yep.

    I  can hear it echo throughout the empty seats of Bean-0 Stadium,  "$30,000,000?

    PEANUTS, compared to what the Ducks stole from us!!!"

    Dignity is a terrible loss...
