Perhaps Oregon should look out for....only Oregon?  How about a bidding war between the Big-12 and B1G for Oregon?  Neither conference can afford to miss the opportunity, since Oregon is the No. 7 brand globally, and doesn't come available very often!

 

Use the Big-12 as leverage for the B1G?

 

But I would love to keep the Pac-12 alive...

 

Oregon 100% needs to look out for Oregon at this point. They are going to be just fine when the dust settles; as long as they can shake themselves free of the sad "Pac 12 unity statement" that was given back in March.

 

Branding, marketing, the hype machine; It'll all sell itself if Oregon can just act in it's own interest until stability is reached! Take a partial share for 2 years in the BIG. $45M will be acceptable to any program!

Again... Oregon has its own financial circumstances to take into consideration. They don't need the media payout to be as high because of their donor base. 

 

So whatever they choose I'm confident that it would be good for them. Even if fans cry out that we need B1G dollars which I don't think a partial share makes up for the losses that will come with travel expenses.
