Claims both schools made it clear up front they were to be the only schools from the West Coast in the Big....but both screwed up and didn't include that in their contracts it appears...Big outlawyered both schools and have been in talks with Oregon since October...

Like the family member you don't like but dutifully are required to oversee.
I highly doubt the B1G would have contractually accepted this. Their aim is a super conference. That decree goes against their aim. I think the scandal causing USC's AD to leave didn't help here. I doubt the B1G ever seriously thought about granting this anyway.
BTW it's more than a rumor that the B1G initially wanted to offer USC and Oregon, not UCLA. But then FOX put down their foot wanting to corner the whole LA market....
As sc likes to say, I don't make up these things, I just repeat them.
If they really went through with this and didn't have that detail taken care of in writing after making such a big deal about it, then heads need to roll. Also, this will not end up well for UCLA, they will get a train run on them every season.
Both schools missed this? how is that possible?
Go indy usc. fuck this.
PAC 8 needs to fire George and start over. Take 20 mil: yr from ESPN for two years to buy time for the next deal.
We messed up, guys.
Typical high-level execution from USC and UCLA 🤦♂️
I can't believe ucla would do something like that. I can personally guarantee you that the USC athletic director doesn't care either way.
F'n bruins
