Well it’s not in writing so it’s immaterial but I highly doubt that was “promised” anyway. At most, it was probably indicated that the Big Ten had no plans to invite any other PAC-12 schools which was certainly true… until it wasn’t. USC though probably expected to have a few years to establish themselves in the Big Ten before any other additional west coast schools were invited and aren’t happy they’ll have 2 more coming in 2024.that if they joined the B1G, Oregon would not receive an invite?

Good question regarding the TV contract details.It's all over those Facebook articles related to USC, but I've not seen anything definitive. The gist of the story is that USC wanted away from Oregon because of recruiting purposes and that they felt Oregon would fall by the wayside in realignment.
I don't think it's relevant (USC has always recruited well), but who knows with the former commissioner. Do we even know all the TV contract details yet?
LOLYeah but, Tom selleck's death is all over Facebook for the 48th time.
Do you ever wonder what that would be like? You’re sitting at the kitchen table having breakfast and perusing thru your phone and you read about your death.Yeah but, Tom selleck's death is all over Facebook for the 48th time.
Anti social media behavior proves that all species of fish are more intelligent than humans, including unborn fish like caviar.Do you ever wonder what that would be like? You’re sitting at the kitchen table having breakfast and perusing thru your phone and you read about your death.
Worse yet, your family members who got up earlier are already in your bedroom rummaging through your belongings.
If it's not in writing, it doesn't mean jack chitEven if they believe they were promised it doesn't matter.
The social media posts are amazing. The USC fans say they are the biggest brand in the Big Ten and they are going to stomp the conference beginning in 2024. And then in the next sentence they say they're big mad at Oregon joining because it will hurt their recruiting.that if they joined the B1G, Oregon would not receive an invite? Internet rumor.

Tell me again about your brand 🙄🙄
This is the same USC that got physically destroyed in the PAC 12 Championship game, and then lost their bowl game against Tulane, and they did that with a Heisman Trophy qb. Let’s see how they do when they have to play in snow, freezing rain, or temperatures that are in the 20s; that should be an eye-opening experience for most of their players.The social media posts are amazing.

I can't wait until they have to play in Happy Valley or even Madison in NovemberThis is the same USC that got physically destroyed in the PAC 12 Championship game, and then lost their bowl game against Tulane, and they did that with a Heisman Trophy qb.

I have some money invested with that guy!that if they joined the B1G, Oregon would not receive an invite? Internet rumor. Has anyone read this from a west coast media source?
If true, why did USC vote in favor?that if they joined the B1G, Oregon would not receive an invite? Internet rumor. Has anyone read this from a west coast media source?
USC has no vote. They are not in the conference until next year.If true, why did USC vote in favor?
Just think if they have to play in weather or on field conditions like the 93 OSU and MSU games, or the 95 Michigan game, or the 08 Iowa game, or the 21 MSU game, just to name a few. I would bet that a 1/2 to 2/3 of their players never have seen a snow flake before or had to play a game in 20 degree temperatures.I can't wait until they have to play in Happy Valley or even Madison in November
That's also why the playoffs should be at the higher seed. Any southern team coming north would be great.
Well if they lose or struggle in the Big 10 it's because Oregon took all their good recruits.This is the same USC that got physically destroyed in the PAC 12 Championship game, and then lost their bowl game against Tulane, and they did that with a Heisman Trophy qb.

You don't think USC was consulted if they had a supposed deal in place to keep Oregon out? The B!0 presidents would just say F-U USC?USC has no vote. They are not in the conference until next year.
It will be interesting to see whether the four newbies get the traditional “Welcome to the Big 10” officiating that PSU initially got.You don't think USC was consulted if they had a supposed deal in place to keep Oregon out? The B!0 presidents would just say F-U USC?
Well, I guess not like USC could go back to the PAC 4. Ha, ha.

That’s highly possible. Haven’t we single handedly prevented PITT from joining the BIG (despite all the other schools pleading for their admission) because we feared their excellent recruiting would diminish ours.
I actually searched for a gravestone with my name on it while on our honeymoon in Ireland. We were in SW Ireland where my last name is very common. My first name is also a typical Catholic saints name so we figured it was a layup.Do you ever wonder what that would be like?

Yeah the Nike money is whyIt is funny to me that USC is afraid of Oregon. Why? I get the Nike money but USC has so many advantages: LA, movie stars recruiting, NIL base, tradition.
Seems funny to me, in sports, that someone doesn’t want to play the best
Maybe when everyone else worthwhile bolts from the ACC, they'll find it easier to win those conference titles.I heard it was supposed to be ASWP, not USC, UCLA, Oregon or Washington, but PSU kept them out because they're afraid to play ASWP and take on their 150 year running National Championship streak.
…….Initially ??……It will be interesting to see whether the four newbies get the traditional “Welcome to the Big 10” officiating that PSU initially got.
Ah yes, after the ACC realignment PITT will face off against mighty ELON University from North Carolina. The championship game will be played at a high school stadium somewhere on the Eastern Shore of Maryland before a sparse crowd.Maybe when everyone else worthwhile bolts from the ACC, they'll find it easier to win those conference titles.
How can you hope to recruit against a team that uses an NFL facility?That’s highly possible. Haven’t we single handedly prevented PITT from joining the BIG (despite all the other schools pleading for their admission) because we feared their excellent recruiting would diminish ours.
Plus the games are quiet enough you can talk at normal levels on the field. No need for confusing hand signals or silent counts.How can you hope to recruit against a team that uses an NFL facility?
Initially... 😂.... more like Infinity.…….Initially ??……
🙁
I know what you mean. I guess that I was thinking that after reply was started, at least most of the intentionally biased calls could be reversed, and they would have to begin to get creative to screw PSU, which did happen.Initially... 😂.... more like Infinity.

What do the following acronyms stand for?ASWP doesn't worry about Conference Titles - they're 150 year running streak of Natty's is what matters.
And as the average slug evolves toward a higher form of life, so does the B-whatever-it-is Old Conference machine. They came up with camera malfunctions, review refs losing their eyesight long enough to miss the correct call, differential rule interpretation by Ouija board, power outages and absurd scheduling. It always has amazed me just how creative morons can be.I know what you mean.
