What I’m hearing is that Oregon and Washington are scrambling to get into the Big 10.
The question remains, if they aren’t successful in gaining Big 10 admittance … or at least a deal that makes sense, what will Oregon do?
In the meantime, we know that the PAC 12 is now destined to be at best the PAC 9. Has the ship hit the iceberg? Are the passengers running for the life boats? I don’t know. I do know that the conference is not going to be as financially powerful. The conference is losing ground.
If Oregon doesn’t strike a deal with the Big 10, do we run for the Big 12 or try to ride out the storm while working on something else?
We have Mullens, Scholz, the Board of Trustees and, most critically, Phil Knight to decide that. Let’s hope that they get it right.
