We don’t owe the Pac-12 anything. Also, you act like this is some unprecedented historic move. It’s not. Pac-12 schools have been at each others throats since the 1950s. There’s no “100 years partnering together”. UCLA and USC left the old PCC and created the Pac-12 along with Washington and Cal when they kicked Oregon, Oregon State, Washington State, and Idaho to the curb. It was only years later they allowed those schools to join the Pac-12. Arizona and ASU have only been in the Pac-12 since like 1980 and Colorado and Utah 2011. In any case, Cal, Stanford, and Washington will likely eventually join the Big Ten anyway, recreating the original AAWU Big Five, only now as a division of the Big Ten Conference. Those are the only schools we have any regard for (if any) in this conference.
