I cannot imagine the meltdown taking place on USC and Oregon State forums right now....

Twitter feeds are not loading at all, so I am copying and pasting... Ross Dellenger: "How did this happen? Minutes before Pac-12 presidents planned to meet this morning and potentially agree to a Grant of Rights, Oregon officials alerted commissioner George Kliavkoff that their concerns with the Apple deal had led to a re-engagement with the Big Ten." "While on the call, UO and UW officials informed Pac-12 presidents they were accepting an imminent invite from Big Ten, which had cooled on the additions only to re-engage today. 'Oregon told us they were out unless their (Apple) figures didn’t increase,' says a P12 school source"

Pat Forde: "Update, per sources: Oregon and Washington haven't formally applied yet for membership in the Big Ten, which has to happen before they can be formally accepted. But both those things are expected to occur in short order. It's happening."

Sources: Big Ten adding Oregon and Washington, leaving Pac-12 with uncertain future SPORTS.YAHOO.COM After a roller coaster of exploration and negotiation across the week, the Ducks and Huskies will exit the Pac 12, leaving the 108-year-old league with no certain future.

I am starting a new thread since the other got so long reporting the developments of today...

What we have to get accustomed to?

My view of it all today....

Finally! Oregon is using some leverage, some bargaining power between the B1G and the Pac-12!
