Agree. It is important to remember that only the Big Ten presidents accept/reject new members -- and they rarely show their cards. It is not Kevin Warren's decision and he doesn't have the respect or influence to sway votes. Furthermore, it is impossible to believe that Oregon, Washington, Stanford, and Cal were not considered at the same time as USC/UCLA. The Big Ten chose not to have discussions with any additional Pac-12 teams. Nothing has changed in the past four weeks so it is highly unlikely their position changed, either.
I don't think Oregon and Washington are going anywhere anytime soon.
