I’ve felt that way for days even before the Twitter rumors started going crazy. I said this before, it doesn’t make sense for Notre Dame to join the B1G, right now. Eventually Oregon will be in, just might not be this year. Everyone needs to relax, this isn’t the end of Oregon football being in contention for a national title.DuckzRule wrote:At this rate I'm just gonna give up and accept Oregon may not go to the B1G

I am not a JC fan per se but he does offer some words of wisdom here:
Along those lines, a gentle reminder to go slow with the speculation. I’m only sharing what I can confirm with multiple sources, but I’ve heard a bunch of wild, unsubstantiated things. I can tell you, the Pac-12 members are experiencing a swirl of emotions. They’re angry and feel misled by USC, in particular. Also, they’re simultaneously mourning the loss of the traditional Pac-12 while trying to be hopeful and jockey for new position. That comment, “George is kicking ass,” caught my eye. I’ll update here when I have more and today’s radio show will be all over this.

Re: Pac-12/Big 10/Big 12 Realignment
I have a really hard time believing that neither Fox nor ESPN would want Oregon in its fold. We may not have the household numbers, but we bring ratings and eyeballs -- we're gold for advertising. We're one of the top-branded teams in any league.Or, hear me out here, stop looking at Twitter. Nobody outside of top top tier conference brass knows anything about anything. Everything you're reading is rumors made up so that the person who posted said rumor can say "see, I told you so."
Not saying we're a slam-dunk for the B1G right now, but I just don't see Oregon being left out in the cold indefinitely. Both major sports networks would have to drop the ball.
Willie Taggart is a dick.

Colorado has put out a statement where they're committing to staying in the Pac-12. Guess we'll see how long they do though.

Great example of how some who claim to be 'in the know' are not 'in the know'. Over the weekend several pundits were sure a big meeting was taking place today involving CU, the Az schools and Utah.
Also kudos to squintsdd for reiterating what I said earlier. Very few people other than high level conference execs, univ presidents and ADs know what is going on. Everyone else is guessing and speculating, nothing more.

The last rumor I'm looking at for now.
The B1G apparently told us and UW that they are gonna put expansion on hold indefinitely, in other words, we won't go there...
Hoping it's false tho

Gotta give ya credit duckzrule, you are passionate about this and that's admirable . For your mental health maybe best to stop reading Twiiter for awhile.DuckzRule wrote:The last rumor I'm looking at for now.

As several here have said ,some of these so-called pundits and people with 'well placed sources' don't know jack. As squintsdd said other than a handful of top brass no one else has a clue.
