Things just got very interesting!!!!

USC has only made the Pac12 championship game thrice. Not sure I would assume they will be playing for the B1G championship anytime soon.

I'm not sure what the answer is..... But, this statement is VERY true!

Unfortunate timing for the article as I fear it will be overlooked due to the mess USC/UCLA made!

There isn't enough meat on the bone to sell that in media negotiations. It would be two super conferences serving up steak and lobster and one large conference serving up corn and potatoes.

Yes. Oregon needs to move on from the PAC. That doesn't necessarily mean following USC/UCLA. But it will need to land in one of the two super-conferences BIG 10 or SEC (current names likely to change at some point). Clemson, FSU, Miami, OK State, Baylor, and a few others will all likely need to do the same to stay relevant.

This does not surprise me in any way. Yesterday I said that UO needs to do what's best for UO. I stand by that statement. Schill and Mullens need to be presenting their university to all suitors.

Love it! That could make a great bumper sticker for them to give to their recruit's parents. UW. Adorably delusional.

While I am not opposed to expanding the Pac12... I'm also not opposed to jumping ship. Oregon needs to do what is right for Oregon. Schill and Mullens are smart enough to understand that the UO is getting screwed with the Pac12 profit sharing. I would think they would rather be dividing profits with other schools that actually have profits. Like it or not collage sports are about money. UO earns it... They might as well keep it. I know change is hard. But, all of these options require change. So, might as well study up on ALL the options and make an informed choice.

I'm not sure I agree on that. I'm from San Diego and I can assure you that UCLA does not draw an ounce of attention with SD viewers. USC isn't a whole lot better. Since the Chargers left for LA (don't get me started...) SDSU football has gained much traction in the community as the only team in town. If the Aztecs were on TV against any Pac12 team SD viewers would watch.

To me expansion and Media Rights have to go hand and hand. One must elevate the other. There are some rather large media markets in the west being ignored by the Pac12. San Diego, Las Vegas, Hawaii are some just off the top of my head that are easily in the top 100 markets in the country. SDSU, UNLV, and HI all have decent (at times) athletic programs these schools could be of benefit Kliavkoff for media negotiations. But, I doubt the academia of the conference would see them as equals and fans would not accept them as competent competitors. Watching the Pac12 Network on my phone while traveling the country because no bar/restaurant has it... gets tiring. The current media coverage is simply a joke and without media coverage the Pac will never gain attention. I'm hopeful Kliavkoff can get us an upgrade regardless of whether expansion happens.

My brother has been researching this a lot. He watches many videos on YouTube. I believe the channel he likes is called "World According to Briggs". This guy gives tons of different info on city or states. Like cost of living, community services, property values, etc.. He seems to know his stuff and puts in a lot or effort into his reviews. Seems to be a good source of info.

I'm a homer..... But, not that much of a homer. No chance. Sorry.

I hope your hopes come true! If this offense can bond and play as a unit. I feel this team can be special.

Good riddance!

As long as it doesn't affect his support of the Ducks I'm all for it!

100% agree. They have been great. Knowledgeable and good humored.

Nailed it! Let's go with this.

How many points would your defense allow to Mario's offense? and I want the truth!

I like it.... and I bet the recruits like it too!

Well said!

LaMichael was the best. But, you have to give a lot of credit to the great downfield blocking. That was a true TEAM.

USC fans: "No, there was not NIL money for Addison"........ "There is no way Conerly would go to Oregon without a huge NIL deal"..... Oregon fans: "No, there was not NIL money for Conerly"......... "There is no way Addison would go to USC without a huge NIL deal"..... The likely truth: Conerly to Addison (and vice versa): "I love getting paid to go play ball with my friends."
