    the only person really dragging his feet was ASU's president (who was a long-time friend of Larry Scott). The Board of Regents was in favor of both schools moving

    Yeah, honestly it's irrelevant. Whether it's 5th or 6th, the conference was dead...... but it's Oregon's fault, right?

    Exactly, 100% true! It's all the Ducks' fault.

    Which isn't a bad thing.

    The SEC will get between $70-80 million yearly per school for their next contract.

    Big 10 will get around $50-60 million.

    While not as rich as the SEC we'll still be able to offer nice NIL deals to players on all of your teams that are really good.

    So you'll still be able to watch them play in person with just an extra 1 hour drive south.

    A few NIL offers and the best Beaver baseball players can join the Ducks!

    I grew up in when OSU was a solid football program and basketball was also pretty damn good.
    If they were in the MW conference they'd be more on par with those schools and would be able to contend often. They would win over a lot of fans and with good regional competition. They could build on that and become a winning program.
    Id rather Oregon State play WA State, Boise St, Fresno St. & AF every year, than Stanford, Cal & Colorado.

    Ducks jealousy is why they started baseball again anyways. Might as well start poaching too.

    I'm not defending blaming the Ducks because I don't. But come on man, have you not seen the vitriol Ducks fans have been spewing too?

    What's there to be mad about from Duck fans?

    What irritated Duck fans some was the Beavers AD acting like this was a great deal and the Ducks screwed the Beavers.

    Seems like everyone but the Beavers knew something bad was coming. Hell, Washington State shut down spending months ago.

    Beaver fans are correct, the Beavers have had some solid teams in football, basketball, and baseball over the last 10 years.

    But once USC and UCLA bolted it was time to reach out to the Ducks and make a joint presentation to the Big 10. Travel is much easier for the other teams in the Big 10 to land in Eugene and play the Ducks and the Beavers for all the sports besides football. It would have been an easier sell than Oregon and Washington. But that obviously didn't happen. Your AD has come out with statements like he's livid, and the Ducks and Huskies leaving totally caught him by surprise.

    The Beaver AD's inaction is what hurt the Beavers.

    exactly to your first comment. What do Ducks fans have to be mad about? Why would they take a shit on the Beavers grave?

    I haven't seen that.

    Again, what slightly irritated some Duck fans was Beaver fans blaming them for this. I think this thread is a good microcosm of that, no one is shitting on the Beavers. A couple of Beavers are blaming the Ducks in this thread.

    Remember you can virtually find tweets on anything in this world. I wouldn't use Twitter as a measure of a fan base.

    While most (not all) of my Oregon fans are happy Oregon got on the life raft, not one of them is remotely happy OSU is getting the shaft. It would be in Oregon's best interest to be making $60m/year in TV revenue while the original Pac12 stayed together. Unfortunately, the odds of something even half that good sailed a year ago.

    I agree with you. That's why it is disheartening seeing some dudes thinking its cool to shit on the Beavs now because they are fed up.

    Truth is, the Beavs are fucked. And thats a sad thing for Oregon, the history of the game they used to call the Civil war, and one of Oregons better Universities in terms of popularity. The pac 12 not existing is sad.
