    When the difference between leaving or staying is 10's of millions of dollars every year, when staying would so massively inhibit their program as to make competing on a national level virtually impossible, there is no logical argument in favor of them staying.

    Sure you can.......but it is more emotional than logical. The Ducks held out as long as they could.

    I am sick that the Pac-12 is essentially dissolving. I can remember supporting the conference since watching OJ play in the Rose Bowl against Ohio State in the 60s. But you know damn well this is not the Duck's fault.

    Those were the only two schools I applied to back in the day. Got accepted to both. Went to OSU. Sometimes I wonder how things would be different had I gone to Pennsylvania..

    Not going would have been suicide. No more national brand. Gone.

    They would have been relegated to mountain west status.

    We needed to keep our big brands so we could get comparable media deals. Once USC and UCLA left the Ducks were stuck waiting for the PAC-12 to pull a rabbit out of a their hat and get a good deal.

    The Ducks waited as long as they possibly could.

    This sucks.

    That was ultimately what it came down to. That and I have pretty much zero family and support on the east coast.

    I'm more scared that Chiles leaves. It sounded like he could start as a freshman and is one of the best qb recruits we had in a long time.

    If Oregon plays as a member of the B1G and loses to TCU, what's the point?

    You would be a billionaire, married to a supermodel, and serving as US Ambassador to Monaco.

    But hey, I'm sure things worked out fine anyway.
