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:
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 figured the rose bowl alliance was done as soon as SC and UCLA bolted. It’s for sure done once UO/UW leave. It will be 100% a playoff host every year instead, and OS has almost no chance at ever making a playoffs.
I wouldn't read too much into the Pac-12 meetings with Apple at this point. The deal is only good through tomorrow, and schools such as Oregon and Washington probably have nothing to lose at this point by asking Apple for more cash. I'm sure that's what this is about. I still think Apple would prefer to have this deal work out.
That said, I think this is too far along and I can't imagine Apple upping the ante even remotely enough to overcome the benefits of Oregon/Washington/Utah leaving.
There must be immense pressure on Oregon though to not want to be the killer of OSU football as we know it.

I’m all seriousness, a glorified mountain west ain’t the worst thing?
They're going to have to get over their snobbishness fast, which I don't see happening because it's what caused many of the issues within the Pac-12 all these years.
Oregon and Washington rumored to have offers to join Big 10, roughly in the 35-40 mil range.
If that’s true, you figure Oregon will have to accept .
35-40 and full share is 65, is that correct?
Not much leverage. Though, undefeated through the regular season every year in a weak conference or independent still isn't unfathomable. The "Clemson" route. Just have to negotiate a deal where most of the spoils goes to the victor.
