"I fumbled a question in Monday’s Mailbag from a reader who asked if Oregon-Washington State and OSU-Washington would continue to schedule each other in football. I misread the question. I’m taking another stab here."

That's called integrity, John. It's the greatest tool a journalist can have, and you clearly have it. Not every journalist does. It's one reason among many why I will continue to subscribe to your publication and read your work.

I'd like to see baseball find a way into the Big 12 as well. Both sides need OSU's high level competition and rankings. Looks like WSU is attaching itself to the MWC for baseball, for now. Baseball needs the RPI numbers.

Now that OSU and WSU found a pretty good football TV deal. Proves there is a market for it. if it is only $9 or $10M per team, that's OK for now. I am all in OSU/WSU taking less cash now and working to the future.

Existing TV deals w/Fox and ESPN bring PLUS CW for the new added inventory of games that OSU & WSU can bring.

I am very sure ASU/UA/Utah folks would rather travel to Corvallis than go to Morgantown, Ames, etc in the dead of winter.
