It’s been known for a year that USC and UCLA bolted for the Big Ten.
Then Colorado left for the Big 12. Today, Oregon and
Washington announced they were going to the Big Ten. Then Arizona, Arizona St. and Utah announced they
were headed to the Big 12.
That leaves Oregon St., WSU, Cal-Berkeley and Stanford.
There are some oddities here.
The Big Ten is known for academically top of the line
institution of higher education. I think Washington, UCLA and USC easily meet
that standard. Oregon, maybe. But Cal and Stanford go way above. And the Pac-12
is known as the conference of champions, much due to Stanford.
They say it is all about the money. I’m sure that is true, but you would think high quality universities in a super huge coverage area (Cal and Stanford) would have kicked Seattle and Eugene’s asses. There is more at play here that will never be known.
I will enjoy my final year of Pac 12 football.
GO DUCKS!!!!!!!!
