Sort of flies in the duck fan's narrative but I guess LAD just realized message boards for duck fans don't classify as being proof.
Not that I trust any media and can't verify the accuracy but unlike LA Duck, I provided a 'source' where LA provided nothing to back up his "FACTS".
Inside the Pac-12 collapse: Four moments that doomed the league - Los Angeles Times (latimes.com)
Either way , I think the BIG is going to regret taking whOregon.
Doubt the BIG is going to see what hit them.
No admission standards. 97 percent? LMAO . Even bama and Az St. have some kind of standard. Not oregon. They don't give a shit.
whOregon will take muderers and rapists on parole. ANYONE. They just don't care. No rule against it.
Unlimited NIKE Money from Uncle Phill's child slave labor billions to outbid everyone for anyone they want. They don't even care if they lose their tax exempt status. And the talking monkeys just want the cash and the bling. That's one thing that has never changed.
The BIG once considers themselves real Universities. They were so proud . It's why the presidents of their Universities didn't want whOregon. They do some real research. Kids play make pretend and have to go to class every once in a while. All that kind of boring college stuff.
Washington, like the big ten is a real school. How long those exist is the only thing in question. WhOregon's cheerleaders are actual strippers (bless their hearts).
I know this might surprise some, but I think whOregon is going dominate the BIG and maybe even win a natty or two before some kind of rules are changed. If anyone will still care to change them. Not even sure how they would do that. Everyone that went to a 4 year university knows it's mostly a joke. Jumping through hoops. Forced to take stastistics and french? Why? Everyone at those schools that had a dominant revenue generating sport knows the whole "student athlete" in revenue generating sports is an even a bigger joke. Ya, put a back pack on a talking monkey and put him on a beach cruiser and pretend he knows how to read and sit in a lecture hall with kids that scored 1400? ya , sure.
WhOregon knows all this and doesn't care. They know their bought players are knuckle dragging talking monkeys and don't give a shit. The only thing that has changed is they don't give a who who knows it now. I find this somehow refreshing. It's like finding out the Ukraine war is the biggest money laundering scheme in history. DUH. So a few hundred thousand people had to die in a burning inferno? Have you seen Black Rock stock price? CACHING.
The ONLY way to keep whOregon in the bottle was keep them off national TV. Well that ship has sailed. It's just a tv show now. How many will still watch when the traditions that made college football special is lost remains to be seen. My guess is much less. we will see.
All I know is that I actually recently considered that SC should now put names on their laundry so I could tell which mercenary was playing where. Never thought I would actually think that.
Bionic tennis rackets destoryed tennis. Sabermetrics ruined baseball. Vaginamoney ruined the institution of marriage. Welfare ruined the nuclear family. The internet ruined music. etc. etc etc........... NIL destroyed college football. Nepotism and Corruption ended Rome and is what is currently ending the American experiment. Was bound to happen. Just hoped it didn't happen in my lifetime.
I guess it's just human nature. Washington could have said NO. But they didn't. huh. sc
LOL. Reading comprehension is not a strength for most Huskies, but I see you take it to another level, mandb.
Never did I say the ducks left first and the Huskies followed. Never.
Below is what I said. Nothing in this article refutes any of this. As a matter of fact it pretty much supports how the networks were in control the whole time. And the networks are interested ONLY in eyeballs and brands = advertising dollars. Unarguably Oregon is light-years ahead of Washington in that regard.
Thanks to the LA Times, it can easily officially now be said that USC's Folt killed the pac-12 and the Huskies were the ones to put the final nail in the coffin.
FACT: The networks were (and still are) running the show.
FACT: The networks did not want Stanford.
FACT: The networks came back to sweeten the deal when it looked like Oregon was going to stay with the p12.
FACT: Washington was never a focus of the networks.
FACT: The B1G actually wanted USC and Oregon initially. The networks however preferred to corner the LA market initially, and UCLA was invited instead. Again, the NETWORKS are running the show here, mandb. For better or worse.
Who knows the actual truth. The WSU reporters are closer to what is going on. But yeah, Fox wanted the Ducks. Presidents wanted UW. I do find it odd that a 2nd year coach with no affiliation to the the school is calling the shots. Coaches come and go.
I was actually hoping Ducks and UW went their separate ways.
Being in the big ten is stupid. Traveling 2k-3k miles away. In sheet weather. Two time zones away.
How many road trips do you plan? None for me. Maybe Nebraska.
Big 12 would have been good without UCF, UC, W Virginia. That's stupid too
Oh. USC started all of this. They didnt want equal shares. equal shares with Indiana and Purdue is Ok though. Good Lord
