    I think we all know this is already going to happen. The NCAA knows as well. They are just riding it out as long as they can...

    Players on the Oregon football roster birthplace: Alabama, California, Missouri, Arizona, Texas, Kansas, Oregon, Illinois, Tennessee, Nebraska, Georgia, Hawaii, Maryland, Washington, Utah, Nevada, New York, Utah, Florida, North Carolina, Mississippi, Minnesota, Georgia, Germany, Virginia, Indiana, Kentucky, Victoria Australia.

    The Oregon Ducks football team is a National Brand. Players are recruited nationwide and the program is known nationwide.

    The Ducks played Zero games in SoCal last season and are scheduled to play Zero games in SoCal this coming season.

    If playing a game in SoCal is important, why not schedule a neutral-site game in Los Angeles at SoFi stadium?
    USC and UCLA won't be in the conference any longer.

    NCAA could instantly make this shit better by saying the PAC-12/9/5 whatever will always have a slot in the expanded college football playoffs, the same number of guaranteed slots as the B1G whatever.

    That is a fantastic and obvious thing to do. If they cared.

    Nobody watches OSU sports anyway. So nothing will change, They’ll just go to better bowls and maybe start making some NCAA tourneys in other sports.

    As of yesterday morning my daughter is officially and NCAA athlete. Proud dad moment. She will be playing in the WCC, so none of this impacts her other than playing Power 5s ……OSU/Cal/Stanford/Georgia and national champ UCLA in the preseason. You should see the “broadcasts” on the WCC “Network”.
    Might as well be middle schoolers…..HA!

    If the Ducks are mediocre in the big 10 and the Beavers are perennial contenders in the Mountain West football fandom in Oregon could change in favor of the Beavers.
    I remember the mediocre / laggard days of the ducks and it wasn't great.
    I mean look at Blazermania its just a thing of the past anymore.

    won't ever happen. In fact, the auto-bid system for P5+1 conferences is going to expire in the 2nd season of the 12-team playoff, IIRC

    what will probably happen is the Big-10+SEC will be getting 6-9 of the 12 playoff spots, and the Big-12, ACC, and Pac (assuming it survives) will be fighting for the rest

    the NCAA is toothless and the main reason for it is that the NCAA doesn't have an anti-trust exemption like the NFL/NBA. The NCAA's power survived for decades because it was never really challenged. But NIL has altered the landscape entirely and the SCOTUS has essentially ruled that the NCAA can't regulate NIL without that exemption...which they will never get

    My guess is in the future, probably a 10-year window, the Big-10 & SEC will probably hold 40-50 teams and they will tell the NCAA to pound sand and form their own association....for football at least.

    That guy is a total tool. When people were saying OSU was gonna go to the Big 12, someone said they heard it from him. I started looking at some of the stuff that guy says and he misses a ton. Felt like he just says shit he thinks may happen without real sources.
