Oregon, Washington on verge of joining Big Ten: Charter Pac-12 members leaving league in 2024, per reports
CBS Sports ^ | 8/4/2023 | By David Cobb

Oregon and Washington appear on the verge of joining the Big Ten. The programs, both charter members of the Pac-12 dating back to 1915, informed Pac-12 presidents Friday that they plan to accept an invitation from the Big Ten once extended, according to Yahoo Sports. The Big Ten is preparing to make those formal offers later Friday, according to multiple reports.

Oregon and Washington would be the third and fourth Pac-12 schools joining the Big Ten ahead of the 2024-25 season with USC and UCLA previously announcing their planned departures last summer. The Big Ten would then stand as an 18-team conference, the largest in college football history.

Once the departures of the Ducks and Huskies are finalized, five schools will have left the Pac-12 in the last 13 months as Colorado last week moved to the Big 12. Arizona, Arizona State and Utah remain in the middle of conversations about similar moves to the Big 12. Further departures might be a death knell for the Pac-12 as a whole.

If all these reported moves happen only Cal, Stanford, Oregon St., and Arizona St. remain. Those programs must feel like the fat, ugly chick at a party waiting for someone to ask them for a dance.

Following USC and UCLA out the door.

Are Cal and/or Stanford next? Big TV market.

The Pac-12 is being turned into a minor conference.

They should merge with MWC and keep the conference name Pac-12.

By the time all the sharks are done dobbling up the big fish, it’s going to come down to two megaladons; Big10 and SEC

That leaves two super conferences, Big 10 & SEC.

Those of you left in the Big 12, ACC and Pac 10 just got left behind.

Nope. Setting up to have four conferences and two teams from each in National Championship.

Oregon and Washington are not worthy of the Big Ten. They bring NOTHING to the table.

At least Rutgers brings in the New York market and Maryland brings in the Washington DC market.

Oregon specifically brings NOTHING, and are not deserving. Stanford would be a better choice. Keep Oregon out.

“College football. A celebration of anti-American woketard institutions.”

You are correct.

We need fewer and smaller colleges. No more worthless degrees that are subsidized by taxpayers.

We also don’t need colleges that conduct studies insisting that we need larger and larger government in order to save the world.

Have you ever seen a government study that says government needs to be smaller? The fact there isn’t any just demenstrates that studies produced by universities are useless.

They’re properly woke. That’s the only thing that matters now. If all these schools all go broke and disappear, who cares? Football isn’t important.

There’s way more fat, drunk 30, 40, and 50 year olds than us.
Adults wearing jerseys with 20 year old Negro names on their backs all vote.
We are losing.

Doesn’t Oregon bring Nike along with them? That should be a big advantage. Of course, playing a road game at Rutgers doesn’t quite have the same cache as going to LA.

Rumor is that the Pac-12 might just merge with the Big 12 and just get it over with.
