    I grew up in Albany but loved driving through the more rural parts of the valley, Tangent, Brownsville (love the Brownsville to Crawfordsville to Sweet Home route), Scio area, etc.

    I don't remember it as being difficult. Maybe I just got used to it. Or maybe I'm just really shallow....or a sociopath

    if true, this wouldn't have been either the UofO/UofW as they had no intention of joining the Big-12 and getting locked into the 99 year exit fee

    so would have to be one of Stanford (unlikely), Cal (maybe), Utah (unlikely), Arizona (maybe), or ASU (probably)

    I doubt it would be Utah, Arizona, or ASU.

    Stanford is probably assuming that they were going to BIG20, so I don't think they'd be doing that either.

    Most likely would be CAL.... because they might be left out in the cold.

    I grew up in that stretch, a couple miles outside of Scio (but went to school in Stayton). I ended up being both a Beaver and a Duck!

    This is exactly what will drive the next alignment change. The 'elites' will get together and find a way to separate from the lower-tier teams.

    Teams like Vanderbilt, S Carolina, Rutgers, Missouri, Syracuse, OK State, etc will really need to watch their backs.

    yeah, it just doesn't make sense, even if the media payout is bigger

    but everything I've seen is that the MWC payout is under 5M/year. Jonathon Smith's salary in 4.85M. OOPS

    the Beavs really need to get into the Big-12, even if it's for 15M/year...or less. Otherwise, they will have to cut a lot of sports. They can't run the AD at a 25M/year deficit year after year

    Sociopaths don't talk about "depth". They might have something hidden there?

    Be careful here. That might be what's hidden?

    As long as this conference would get an invite to final 12 playoff table all good. OSU could reek havoc on this conference . Be like BYU used to be. In title contention year in, and year out. But an enhanced TV deal would have to come forward.
