Lol. These excuses are hilarious. Protect themselves from what? Not having as big of a scrooge mccduck money bin? GTFO with these dumb excuses.

I can't wait for UW and Oregon fans to complain in a couple years when their new conference isn't as great as they thought it'd be.

Who is literally going to tune in for these games versus Indiana... Northwestern, Rutgers, Maryland...? Trash football, and other trash sports.

The fans aren't the ones who made the decision to move to the Big 10. As others have noted, it was a business decision, just as Smith's move to MSU was a business decision. Personally I'm not a fan of the move and as a Pac8-10-12 fan of over 40 years, I'm sad at the demise of the conference but I understand why Oregon and the other schools made their move. Too bad you don't see the big picture.

In reality, though, what is the big picture? They’re gaining in footbal but what will they be expending in other sports? Where are the projections of the net gain? At the end of the day, I suspect it will be a very small amount relative to the TOTAL revenue budget of these large universities. Worth it — remains to be seen?

Saying stupid things to the very people you're kicking while they're down like "sorry you don't see the big picture" is not only stupid, but completely callous. lol

It's impossible for me to refute arguments I haven't made, i.e. your strawman argument. I never said the fans made the decisions. But the fans sure acting like fools running around trying to defend being on the wrong side.

I sure hope you have fun next year figuring out who to dump on in your new conference. Rutgers? Northwestern? Indiana? Maryland?

Keep making those excuses for being the villains.
