Whoa, the only school that was proactive was USC. The Trojans made the single, pre-emptive strike, UCLA was thrown a bone and allowed to follow. All other schools were reactive. Let's not try to rewrite Pac12 history. Oregon and UW followed USC because that's what they are, followers. FOX/Big10 never wanted UO/UW until the AppleTV deal was ready to be signed, then UO and UW were offered by Big10 and used as pawns to stop Apple from entering CFB as a broadcasting platform. It's time to be honest.
The B1G didn't initially want UW & UO, at least right away, as that was a big step for a conservative group that had already made a major move in the LA schools & market. But when it became apparent that the Pac would collapse due to snubbing ESPN followed by the Apple debacle/boondoggle, the B1G (wisely) snapped up 2 strong brands, and 1 major market, before someone else did.
WOW. Followers. Ok, man. If you say so. 🤣 In five years time, USC and UCLA may be the ones “irreparably hurt” by leaving the Pac in the first place, as Oregon and Washington surpass the LA schools in NIL and marketability. Maybe it would have been better to stick up for you guys (OSU/WSU) to the B1G, and put you in our backpacks, and demand we bring you with us! Sheesh.

you are full of it and yourself!
I'm just here tap dancing the facts on people.
So your OSU and WSU are not a bit at fault for their situation. I’ll take Oregon and Washington as followers any time then. Lol
