Pac-12/Big 10/Big 12 Realignment

[Phalanx]

I wonder if the wait is for legal purposes? Does being the first out the door mean more money is owed back to the conference or something? Not getting why the offer from the Big 10 would be on hold because they feel bad about destroying the conference. Taking the L.A. schools will go down in history as the reason the conference was destroyed, and they already did that.

Canzano said on the Dan Patrick Show today that Oregon may get details of an offer from the Big 10 by this afternoon.

He also indicated that Apple (or another entity) might be pumping a little more money into the proposed Pac-12 agreement, but he was vague about it.

Hopefully the move to the Big Ten is something that benefits us, even if most of us here didn't want the Pac-12 to die...

I was a lot more excited last night when Cal and Stanford were part of the equation... but with all that's happening right now with both the Pac-12 and the ACC you really have to grab a seat in a lifeboat if one is offered.

Some need to take it down a notch with the tone and insults.

Some rumblings (e.g. rumors with no hard evidence) that Oregon doesn't like the half-share status. I'm not sure what leg they have to stand on though - wonder if the other Pac teams and/ or the George K. deal is trying to compete. Imagine Oregon coming back to them and saying, "Okay, if Apple ups the payment and Oregon gets a higher percentage than everyone else, we will stay". Would OSU, WSU, Arizona Schools, etc take that deal to stave off MWC status? I wonder what projected travel cost increases are and if they are enough to influence the decision.

Looks like the patch has been removed.

Can you explain? The tweet appears to have been taken down.

It was a pic of practice jerseys with the pac patch from before, and ones from today without it. But it sounds like it’s just coincidence

The Pac-12 logo is still on the back of the helmets so it's not a big deal yet.

They are playing the 2023 season in the Pac 12 conference regardless.

Canzano up north spreading false info that UO is scared to play a schedule of Ohio st, Michigan, PSU and SC. Dude is showing his true colors.

Meanwhile Flugard just said he believes “we are hours away from kicking down the expansion doors.”

I still can't believe y'all trusted Canzano, Reddit gave me enough proof that he isn't a trusty person.

I never said the rumors weren't there, I just said I doubt they're true. How many of these rumors that we're all hearing do you actually believe are true?

I'm not following this response, or what is has to do with your original objection. You doubted that Oregon recruiting in L.A. might have been one of the factors in USC deciding to pursue the opportunity with the Big 10 (obviously, money was the main one). I wasn't in the meetings, obviously, but it's been referred to fairly often. Here is another example, and a very fun read for Duck fans:

Yeah, cool article indeed for us Toejam haters.

Super hypothetical…if the four corner schools stay, even if UO/Udumb leave, and the PAC adds schools, wouldn’t it be super odd if UO represents the BIG vs. say the Beavers in the Rose Bowl? Would seem odd to me to win a Rose Bowl for the BIG. Question: If all this realignment goes down, and the PAC packs it in, what happens to the Granddaddy of them all? If it goes BIG vs. say the ACC, and it ended up Mich. State vs. VA Tech, that would seem wrong.

I’ve never trusted him. I wouldn’t trust him to watch my pets, why would I trust him for actual truthful information?
