That makes far too much since for it to ever happen. Ha!

A couple days before USC and UCLA dropped the bomb I posted that "Oregon needs to look out for Oregon." I still feel this way. Unfortunately, Mullens and Schill were a little to late to the party. Their job got a lot harder by procrastinating.

I have the body of an adult...… Unfortunately, in my heart I'm still an unrestrained child!

Growing up in San Diego and being a Chargers fan... I LOVE this!!! Just the fact that Justin and the current Chargers can even be considered close to Dan Fouts, Kellen Winslow, Charlie Joiner, Johnny Jefferson, Wes Chandler and the rest of Air Coryell is impressive. I hope they can take it a step farther than my childhood heroes did! Go Justin!!!

The Regents will have to re-write many of their existing statutes to allow any state employee's (this includes any team personnel) to travel to many of the states in the B1G. If (and it's a large IF) they do re-write those statutes... you may have a point. I feel UCLA may be told "You are not going anywhere near the B1G" and if that is the case.... I say leave them to hang!

Canzano: Fired up? Anxious? Awkward? What I've learned on the Pac-12 front WWW.JOHNCANZANO.COM Silence is good... but so is the anger of stakeholders.

I am doing the same!

Feels like PURPLE (UW) had a baby with CARDINAL (U$C)… It is definitely some kind of ugly!

Canzano at times may say a lot of things that we don't want to hear. But, in general I find that he tries to back most of his statements with actual research. His "sources" at times do feel questionable. But, he has proven to be spot on many times. The whole west coast appreciates his criticism and research of Larry Scott. This piece on ESPN and the Pac12 feels well researched and likely on point.

It's obvious USC and UCLA are running from the Ducks.... I'm thinking OSU (not just the beavs.) are also afraid!

Hate the Huskies. Pity the Beavers. Just a few memorable plays in Ducks history: 1) 1994- Kenny Wheaton's pick. As pointed out changed trajectories for both the Duck's and the purple team from up north. 2) 2007- Dennis Dixon's knee injury with the Duck's ranked #2. 3) 2011- Auburn NCG... Dryer's knee was down! 4) 2014- Kansas State fans jaw drop as De"Anthony returns opening kick. 5) 2015- Florida State (playoff game) Jamis Winston's fumble for touch down. Couldn't happened to a more deserving player.

We would be seeing that far too often!

No matter where Oregon ends up... I hope the Pac? bans USC/UCLA from all other sports!

Utah (as many schools) has many delusional fans. They were the big fish in a little pond for many years. Then they came to the Pac and got pounced for awhile. The last two years, with the help of the transfer portal, they made large strides to become more competitive. Now, the LA schools drop a dirty bomb. Utah fans realize they likely have not done enough to stay relevant. I can understand their disappointment and fear.

Agreed!!!!

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.
