It sounds like Oregon and Washington are trying to work a better offer from the BIG. Today's activity is probably a negotitation tactic on their part. Meanwhile, Arizona and ASU are waiting to see if Ore and Wash leave before jumping ship. Arizona and ASU share a board of regents which seems strange.

Step away from the computer for a few hours and ... it's mind-numbing how fast and how frequently all of this keeps changing.

Stick a fork in the PAC. Should be a no-brainer for the remaining 4 corner schools to join Colorado in the Big IX/16 now that Oregon & Washington have bailed. Not sure what the conference rules were regarding exit fees and distribution of earned bball credits, etc... I thought I had read the NCAA requires 6 members who have been together for more than a year to even keep those credits, but we are in unchartered territory now.

Let the lawsuits begin. Tampering with 100 year rivalries, and destroying big business conferences
by big media collusion is probably actionable by those left behind :!: :!:

Especially if they offered more money for defection :!:

Monopoly and oligopoly laws may apply :!:
May the forth be with us.

Got to be invited before they can follow.
Not saying they won't -- the last few days have shown that nobody has an accurate crystal ball on this stuff -- but they may or may not have the option to follow.

The crystal ball is on the desk of a television executive who is pulling all of these strings.
