What evidence do you have of collusion? This started with USC and their previous USC AD Bohn working with Fox and then Big 10 commissioner Kevin Warren over 14 months ago. UW was trying to salvage being part of big time CFB when our commish George K couldn't get a media deal done. USC always held the cards that our PAC12 commissioners didn't manage well. They have taken their football elsewhere which has been done without collusion by other PAC12 schools except for UCLA who did it due to their debt and lucked out since SC wanted a travel partner. Cohen could show a lot of courage to keep all west coast college schools relevant for other sports and help keep Stanford in the fold with OSU, Cal, & WSU as they find the best solution for football only, which my guess means working with the Mountain West Conference.

The 4 PAC schools going to the Big10 will be relevant either way and will preserve their big time football. Still if somehow they can stay together for the other sports I see less loss for the left over PAC4 schools. If not you are right we have a cremation of the conference and you can live with your anger. Living here in Corvallis I'd like more for OSU than just the MWC and I hope for solutions. Jen Cohen is now in a position of power to help and I hope she cares.

She's been talking to them for awhile. The whole fix is in.

Regional rivalries are destroyed. Non rev sports bear the brunt.

It's not fun and it's all going to collapse as people sign off.

What makes basketball fun I'd everyone can participate. Not in football now....the chosen few. BS

After this season I sign off. I've got an antenna. I have my MLB package. I'm set
