    Poor timing man. You missed your chance to be here when OSU isn’t an enemy of the republic.

                    I get why they picked those two, but I would have gone after Stanford as well. So many academic reasons to bring them in..

                    I hope they look to add them and Oregon to put the final coffins in the PAC and make them even less appealing for B12 schools.

                      Oregon has lousy academics. UW and Stanford would be the best cultural fits.

                        i suggest Oregon only for the football and sports side of the school. UW would be another great one.

                        Just looking realistically at the options and which ones they would look to add. Truthfully, if they wish to be at any equal level with the SEC, they should grab UW, Oregon, Stanford and Cal (Up the coastline)..

                          You are a bit out of touch with the P12. Cal has horrible fan support and the athletic program is almost to go bankrupt. This is from 5 years ago, but the situation isn't any better.

                          https://www.bloomberg.com/news/featu...crippling-debt

                          By many standards, University of California, Berkeley has an incredible sports program. Its 30 sports are second only to Stanford in the Pac-12 Conference, and the school has won 22 national titles in the past decade. At the Rio Olympics, current or former Cal athletes collected 21 medals, including eight golds.

                          By another measure, Cal sports are in big trouble. After completing the most expensive college football stadium overhaul ever, the Golden Bears now owe more money than any other college sports program. Hobbled by debt service payments, the athletic department ran a $22 million deficit last year and expects to end this fiscal year deep in the red.
                          And look at these attendance numbers. Keep in mind that the Utah numbers are bogus. They had lots of empty seats for some of the games but still reported 100% capacity. I imagine some of the other numbers are fudged too because there were so many games last year in the P12 where the stands looked empty.

                                I tend to think BIG10 schools will fill those stadiums weekly with their fan base. While Cal is suffering, are they more appealing from a marketing standpoint then any of the remaining PAC schools?

                                While I love my Arizona schools, I am not so sure any other region would be more lucrative from a new media/TV contract perspective..
