    Yeah, I guess that is true. Nothing is for certain. But what was missing in that video was that Oregon now keeps playing 2 schools that were much bigger rivals than CO, UT, ASU, and AZ......and that is USC and UCLA.

    All the schools leaving the conference? FU and the horse you rode in on. Will hate for all eternity. No respect going forward no matter what you accomplish.

    Yes, I am bitter, and it will not change. Get the phuck out of the conference and soon as you can. You are worse than dead to me.

    Not sure if this is true or not.

    So these idiots think Oregon getting more funding from a TV deal will in the future have a negative effect on the state budget?
    Fine, Oregon has wanted to go private for a while. Give their measly portion to the other schools.

    Are there any other teams being left out in the cold due to all this realignment, besides the remaining PAC schools? How long until apple- pulls their deal? There has to be some other pivot to take or shoe to drop. Sailing away into the mountain west can't be the solution.

    Ok?

    Would you be this riled up too if they weren't at least trying to think ahead and two years from now they had budget issues?

    I would think they would at least want to keep the Pac 12 name instead of Mountain west.

    Wasn't there talk of them considering a merger with the ACC? That's probably before Oregon and Washington left, though.

    If AZ goes to the Big 12, the ACC should try to poach the remaining 6 teams from the Pac.

    Travel would kill OSU's budget and be a huge disadvantage to sports like baseball.

    The legislature should not have any say in the decision. They should not be funding college athletics in any way

    "The UO Athletics Department is one of only a handful of programs that is self-sufficient, receiving no funding from tuition or any general state operating funds."

    I'm sure it's true, or at least it's true she wants to try and monkey-wrench the deal. But then, she's an OSU alum serving and area invested in OSU. Bitter beaver tears, but it will do no good:

    Do they receive funding from the State at all?

    Could Oregon State going to the MWC affect their overall funding?

    You can call it Beaver tears if you want. I doubt anything happens from it. Seems like something people would want, you know, government trying to think ahead in terms of budget impacts.

    Again, That doesn't mean they will do anything about it.

    I'll miss the Pac-12 but if it destroys John Canzano personally and professionally I'm all for it.

    Are you sure? A pac 6 and ACC team up would have to be a decent media deal.

    The alternative is what, 3-5 million per year with the MWC alliance?

    Better deal for the Beavs/Cougs/Bears/Trees:
    • Become the west-coast arm of the ACC?
    • Try to rope in 6 MW schools (SDSU, FSU, BSU, UNR, UNLV....???) to rebuild a weakened Pac-10?

    this guy has been full of shit and wrong about 90% of the time. He posts all possibilities so he can claim to be right. But this if a lifeline for OSU/WSU, however remote it is
