I love Wilner's take on that. USC wanted to keep UO out because they are invading their recruiting grounds and stealing all the blue chip LA recruits from USC. I think that is total nonsense. So USC's solution to that problem is to join a conference that is going to allow tOSU, MSU, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Notre Dame to play games in their backyard and have better access to their recruiting hotbed? LOL. Let's see how that works out for them.
And it is not like UO doesn't have a work around for that. Just schedule a neutral site non-conference game vs. a big name team in LA every year (maybe at SoFi).
IMO, USC wants the money and they could care less about what happens to Oregon and the rest of the conference.
I mean if y'all are willing to fly to the east coast for 4 or 5 games a year that would be a pretty sweet situation to be in the ACC. I don't see SEC being a good option. Ideally I would say the B1G 10 but at this point I would think it has to be the Big 12.
Just curious how being near Silicon Valley has worked out for Cal and Stanford?????????
Ha, I guess Brand doesn't matter. Pretty sure people buying your products and watching you on TV is more important than being in a big city with empty stadiums.

Of course you are spot on but that doesn't matter to Jon and his "I hate Oregon narrative'.
Some rumors are saying some ACC schools are gonna try to join the SEC, with two of them being Clemson and Florida State.
If it happens the ACC's potential partnership with the Pac-12 will have been a total failure.
Also I have a feeling Florida State will be the new Vanderbilt.
I know Florida State has been a dumpster fire but new Vanderbilt is a stretch. Too much money and tradition for that school not to turn around. However, I feel Clemson is going to return to being Clemson with Dabo saying his good byes in the near future.
this sounds very dicey. What uptick does the B12 get from
these schools?
Just wondering- did this show up in all the papers this morning????

The whole premise of that tweet shows it was 100% BS.
I'm sure newspapers are holding on to big stories, waiting until the morning to publish them so their 12-yr old newsboys can shout out the headlines on street corners.

How is Clemson any different than Oregon? Major brand in a small media market. Does it add any value to the SEC? I would argue that Miami would be the better target.
