Phil Knight calling conferences to find Oregon a new home, per report

"Knight has been 'working the phones' cold-calling decision-makers in other conferences to see if they're interested in adding Oregon, according to CBS Sports."

The qucks here assure me that he's not cold calling though.

Hi I'm Phil Knight and I'm calling on behalf of Oregon University. Do you need any teams in your conference? We have a great brand. Everyone says so.

I’m torn. I find this embarrassing as hell, but at the same time, I appreciate the fucking effort.
 
The article is based on the comment(s) of one CBS Reporter.

Big headlines. Lots of speculation and rumors. Very slim on substance.

Repeating allegations made by another reporter?

It raises plenty of questions the author should have asked his source and plenty of questions to address to the author of this shit.

Who? What? When? Where? Why? et al.

Specifics?

Click bait at it’s finest.

Why is it that people seem to believe that the Pac-12 can't say fuck it and go after 4 Big12 schools for a total of 14. Two divisions E/W with a CCG in Vegas. Poach Baylor, TCU, Houston and Okie St. Solid FB, BB and Baseball.

You get DFW and Houston TV markets. And Texas recruiting. Add a time zone. Hell throw a bone to Kansas and KSU. Let the remains of the Big12 find suitable schools to reformulate the Conference.

The new conference would be the Big-Pac14.
 
If Ucla can't leave then they run LA. With or without Stanford leaving the Pac looks better

Ucla and Cal hold down California

If you're a B12 school, would you really want to join the full PAC as a minority member after seeing how inept the school leadership has been the past 10+ years?
 
Big12 just announced a new commissioner so we shall see how well they’re run moving forward. I like George K. thus far.

Calling it OU is a great way to sell it to the SEC
