these schools?

That and why would this get announced by any of the schools if it weren't official.

Maybe his source is his aunt' s cousins's brother who lives next door to the exec admin of the B12 commissioner

Again take these rumors with a grain of salt since who knows how accurate any of the information is.

^ That guy has thrown out about 97 different scenarios now. He's just throwing stuff against the wall IMO

Agreed. I mean he won’t be wrong once he’s exhausted every possible outcome via sources lol.

I think it shows just how secretive and out of the loop everyone is in this. The only ones who truly know are the ones doing the negotiations.

This whole thing feels like massive collusion by USC to keep us in a separate conference than them and make way less money.

I wouldn't put it past them for being so petty, insecure, and/or jealous to do something so spiteful to both Oregon and the conference.

I've been trying to figure out if USC actually had Oregon specifically in mind to sell out, or if it just worked out that way. It feels like everyone is playing to their strengths in this deal except Oregon, who appears to have been completely blind-sided, despite what was clearly advanced warning that something like this might happen. The other schools in the conference are to blame too though for not having their act together for so long, and now they are being parted out for scrap.

Idk. If you told me the LA schools were going to join the Big 10 in March of this year, I'd ask if you took your meds today.

Now that this is a reality, I understand that USC/UCLA stand to receive a substantial payout. From a fan and team logistics stand point though, this just sounds like a nightmare. Riding a plane for 10 hours and hopping 2 time zones every other weekend gets old quick.

Correct and why do we keep giving this Mhver person oxygen by posting his tweets? I think most of us have agreed he knows very little about this

This is the same reason I decided to stop looking at Twitter stuff

I think people are underestimating Phil’s power and influence. I’ve heard several big time coaches and pro players in interviews mention what an honor it was to have Phil reach out to them and when he calls you drop what you’re doing and take that call. I suspect Phil will ultimately move the needle.

I think it speaks volumes that Oregon has been completely silent since this started. That tells me that they at least have more than one option that they are weighing.

All these reports that ND already said "no" and that the 4 corner schools said "yes" to joining the Big-12 are ridiculous. There is a 100% chance that all these teams and conferences are playing chess right now to strengthen their position in the market. In fact, I wouldn't be at all surprised if inaccurate information is being leaked to social media on purpose to put pressure on teams / conferences to engage in negotiations.

If ND was off really the table, they would say so. They are not in the business of ruining other universities athletics programs just for the hell of it. And what is the likelihood that AZ, Utah, Colorado, and ASU are going to jump before they have a clear understanding of all the options? That seems pretty unlikely.

If the Big-12 wants PAC teams today, they will want them next month too. It is not like the Big-12 is going to "no" after 30 days if adding those schools increases their revenue or position in the market. The people making these decisions are usually smart business people that don't make rash decisions based on emotion.
