Thank you UW. Seriously. Being stuck in the pac would have been the end of both programs. It’s why sc left and wanted to block
Oregon and UW badly —they were trying to kill off any other competitive programs out west.
I’m gonna get drunk tonight because this was really stressing me out. I didn’t have faith in mullens or Cohen. But they got it done. I love all of you.

The Midwest hates all that you stand for and only brought you on for late night content. You will enjoy the worst schedules and will eventually be Illini status.
You and Oregon will be the first tangible victims of the culture war.
Your fantasy of “they wouldn’t have invited us unless they wanted us” will be shattered by 2026. You’re both fillers for the real realignment.

It has. But y’all don’t fit in with the conference that you are moving to.
The perception of your beliefs matters now in todays world, even in College Football. When a new worker on your team comes in on Monday Morning, you are watching their every move to see if you are going to trust them to truly be a part of the team.
When 4 new schools from the West Coast come into a Mid West dominated conference, there will be some of the same scrutiny. Just on a much higher level.
None of this stuff is in the paper of course, it’s on the wall. And perception is reality.
If you come out and go 6-1 in 2024, then there won’t be shit talk. But if you hit 3-3, look the fuck out.

When you go to most schools, most students will wonder why Washington is in the league now. And the History major will say well, they won a Rose Bowl against Purdue 25 years ago.
And belly laughs will ensue.
The B1G should have taken Stanford and/or Cal over Oregon.

You’re lucky you have uncle Phil, not Warshington.
Don’t be a dick.Oregon draws ratings and are seen as innovative. Was that with Phil’s money? Sure, but they still had to do shit with it. The Bay Area didn’t watch Stanford even when they had Andrew luck. It’s not a college sports region.
It’s goofy to believe Cal and Stanford matter because they are in the Bay Area and it’s an important market. This isn’t professional sports. The highest rated teams on television are not from huge markets. Cal and Stanford don’t give a fuck about football and have never gotten large attendances or high tv ratings.

The optics were that none of the traditional Pac schools wanted to leave them behind.
Hence their AD up there at P12MD the last two years.
But despite the ridicule of the UW AD during Covid (warranted), it was shown that Cal and Stanford were really an anchor on these other schools. Stanford and Cal were effectively banished from their own counties in 2020.
Finally, the LA schools decided that kissing the ring of some elite academic schools that only wins at sailboat is a bad idea.
Oregon and Washington plotted for a year and acted the same way.

This.
Stanford and Cal see themselves as different. The Big Game for them is their way of saying, "we know you don't care about our game, and we don't care that you don't care. We're above those things. We're smart and have a different kind of tradition. We're not like you. We're better than you."
That [/i]is the Bay Area narrative. And it describes the Bay Area people outside of Oakland to a T. Even while stepping over human feces and being mugged for a nickel in Pacific Heights, they feel sorry for everyone who can't live there.
As I said as this was still rumor mill, if this had been even a little bit about about academic superiority, this move would have led with Stanford, which would have been the new academic king in the Big, and Cal would have come along as west coast Michigan. Again, again, and again: Indiana, Nebraska, Rutgers and Iowa.
If ND comes in, then I can Stanford as the pairing partner. Cal is a bridge too far.

Seeing the progressive stages of grief in real time from Kaep has been quite the scene. All the Cougs I know have gone radio silent so thank you for providing the entertainment.
Best of luck to WSU on that $3 million per year MWC tv deal.

Let me get this straight. The fans of other schools might talk shit if we? don't show up and dominate? Look out! Lolz.
This involves money and positioning in the sport that pays for all the other shit about which the limp wristed crowd cares so much. It's a home run for UW and UO, given how the table was already set. It elevates recruiting, national visibility, facilities development, alumni giving ... you name it. The alternative is already playing out: become Mountain West +. There is no spinning out of that. Pac 12 helped elevate Cuog, Beav, Arizonas and Cal. They brought little to the table, though admittedly Cal brought history, old though it was. So entirely predictable that Cuog, Beav etc. would feel jilted. We? understand. Don't go away mad. Just go away. Or something.

They brought little to the table other than consistent victories in the TV PAC 12 era. STFU greaseball. Stick to your abhorrent lawyer talk that no one GAF about.
You will probably be pegged, and hard in the East division with frequent trips to Maryland and Rutgers. The new Fish like you will be butt raped schedule wise and the whole West Coast is here for it.
