Sorry Chris... I just cant stoop to your level of meanness....

It appears your blame and bitterness is directed to the wrong people and companies.. I wish the breakup was just a dream. I sure don't want to see Ducks play in the Big 10.....

The issue is not directed to you.

The issue is your coward university President - a guy, who coincidently came from Wisconsin. Pre-disposed to taking a dump on history, legacy, rivalry, etc.

I didn't even go to OSU, I went to another Pac 12 school, that is apparently finding its way to the Big 12.

But I am a Pac 12 guy, Pac 10 in my day. This move by Scholz is pathetic. He lacks integrity and common decency and thats my opinion, and i am entitled to bad mouth him all the way. This was all settled until this AM meeting, and then this guy blows it up

WTF... why don't you tell us what school you went to other than another Pac12 school. Is it a secret? You are misplacing blame. Lay it on PAC12 leadership and for all PAC12 schools for not demanding to know more about the secretive negotiation process that led to an abysmal Apple+ offer. Everyone who follows this knows that the five schools that got out within 48 hours of the Apple+ offer hd been making contingency plans for weeks. Is anyone naive enough to think Arizona and Utah weren't talking what ifs with Oregon and Washington? C'mon now... is that bridge still for sale in NYC?

And Pac 12 leadership is a reflection of Pac 12 leaders that let it run amook

There is no secret. I went to ASU.

After representing to your colleagues this was done, UofO failed to shoe for the meeting on Friday. Just reality.

The conference was going to stay together. Now it's a mess..

See all those Oregon athletes tweeting unhappiness with this?

Have a guy on the job a month blow it up. He doesn't know the state, the rivalries, the history, or even his athletes looking at those tweets.

He's a clown

A guy that has been President for 1 month cannot take such a decision. This is the UO Board and boosters with Schulz taking the executive action. In fact, they might have hired him from UWMadison because they saw this move coming. Blaming Scholz is just venting anger at an easy target.

Dude, the more I read your posts, the more in the tank you become. You are not an objective person, but full of bias. That is a hard way to live life.
