Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

Or one of those two schools was not invited and people who have been guessing got it wrong.

I think there was too much smoke for that to be true. Oregon and Washington are probably just playing the rest of the PAC right now because they want a longer time to wait out for a better B1G deal. Maybe the Apple deal went up in value but for a shorter time frame

 

[HuskyHawk]

Okay, this is laugh out loud funny. What is going on???

It's what I said. B1G is offering a half share with no increase. Washington AD said travel would cost an extra $10m. That means the Apple deal is just as good. If Washington and Oregon stay, I'm not sure anybody else leaves. It was always the reality that with USC and UCLA gone, Washington and Oregon are the PAC. Also, USC publicly said it doesn't want Washington and Oregon.

Washington and Oregon might stay for now but if you're Arizona, ASU or Utah I'm not sure why you'd stay in a dead conference.

Literally best case scenario for us is to be #14 and for expansion to stop until the ACC erupts.

I can't believe they got everyone up for a meeting at 7AM on a Friday.

You'd be surprised how early colleges schedule meetings; friend was a trustee at SU and they'd meet at 6:30 or 7 regularly

Because they don't want to leave. They never wanted to leave.

Maybe Arizona was using B12 as bait this whole time to get a better offer for the PAC. That'd be quite the twist.

When this round of realignment is done, there needs to be a 30 for 30 on this.

If offered, Oregon Ducks will accept Big Ten invite, source says

UO would not hesitate in accepting the invite, according to sources.

So be it from Oregonian O-live.

 

[ZooCougar]

Whoah. If the PAC holds together the Big 12 will look pretty silly. All they end up with is the Hippies in Boulder.

So be it.

Then what’s the point of UA, ASU and Utah sticking in the PAC 12?

I have confidence that GoKU had insider information and he knew and stated Utah is not in the Big12 plans. He’s had by far the most accurate pulse on events than the entire group of people whose tweets we post or the entire collective of posters in this forum. And yet many choose to ignore that correlation and accept the word of people who have been all over the place on events.

And I don't think they'll get this much fuss if they offer a certain school in the Northeast.

That sounds miserable

 

[Punkbo]

OK. Let’s have some fun today. PAC 12 stays together and we become #14 for the Big 12. We get offered the same deal as the other recent new entrants. Everybody wins!

 

[jostar1]

Does that mean it's Colorado and UConn?

I’m not sure if you are joking or not, but that’s a great idea.

I was following Angels vs. Seattle game last night.

Shohei Ohtani is having the greatest season in the MLB history. He was the starting pitcher and pitched 4 amazing scoreless innings before he had a hand cramp. This however, does not change Ohtani the hitter. The unicorn stepped to the plate and hit a MLB leading bomb #40 in the 8th to put the Angels up 3-1. The stadium went nuts.

In the 9th, Angels' normally reliable all star closer Carlos Esterez got the bases loaded, and gave up a grand slam to a rookie. Angels lost 5-3.

For many Angels fans, this loss felt like a massive kick in the nut after the ultimate high after Ohtani's HR. If we don't get into the B12, I am guessing that is the same feeling many of us will be feeling.

This is like the Bachelor but for middle aged dudes that want to slack off at work
