    this also could boil down to one primary factor: the BIG was trying to get Oregon/Washington at way too big a discount. Those two schools aren't Rutgers or Maryland; they have media gravity and impact

    That's what it feels like. They made an initial offer (unofficially) and UO and UW were like "nah.... we're going to go somewhere else." It's like we're trying to buy a car.

    Good. Then ESPN should come to the table with a deal to supplement the Apple deal to the tune of about an additional $20 million per team, per year. ESPN can air any games it wants but they'll all also be available on Apple streaming.

    So fucked. Sad to see founding members of the conference bail. Pac12 leadership should be drawn and quartered.

    Good riddance UW and U of O.
    I have zero interest watching them play Illinois.
    Hope they enjoy the money.

    The remnants of the PAC-12 should sue the shit out of USC. I'm not sure how that works... but I fully blame USC for this bullshit.

    Murphy's Law might still monkey-wrench the move. But this does seem about 90% a done deal

    Wasn't USC largely the biggest supporters of the last two commissioners?

    Larry Scott was terrible, but it was bad decisions by university presidents/chancellors that paved the way.
