UW and OU to the B1G - Memorial Day?

Is this happening?

big no thanks to both.

I understand USC, it's one of the true blue bloods of the sport and located in LA. UCLA- I'm pretty meh about...they don't bring much to the table....but again....they are in LA. 'Crootin' hot beds and all.

Washington and Oregon can get fkd though as far as I'm concerned. Neither bring anything to the table at all. And quite frankly I'd be more than happy if Oregon started to die off and was never heard from again and go back to the basement where they belong.

Yeah not only does Oregon not bring anything to the table, they actually take away quite a bit.  They're dangerous and competitive both on the field and in recruiting and they are light years ahead of most programs in weaponizing NIL.  And yet they don't bring net new viewers to the B1G, not in the way USC does.

Ever since the UCLA/USC news broke and then everyone speculated that  UO/UW were next, I've been stating that I think bringing in UO would be a bad idea.  Why bring in someone that doesn't increase incremental TV revenue but threatens your marquee teams both competitively and in recruiting?   Makes no sense at all.

We all recall how such rumors spark in the off season to get clicks.  Some of them turn out to be true, but not most.

I dislike all this geography going on, WVU in the B12 for example, Laville in the ACC.  I pefer regionality.  At least UT and OU in the SEC is contiguous.  But I'm a Luddite in such affairs.

I wonder how USC will enjoy playing a 9 AM game vs Rutgers or Maryland or OSU.

None of the carriers will schedule a 9AM game in California.

I dimly recall a game I think it was Cal-Rutgers at 9 AM recently, Cal lost.

Actual article behind a paywall and I don't know much about the legitimacy of this website

When I click on the website, it's totally behind the paywall. But this is what the Google snippet says when you search for the article:

RealDawg.com has learned that a time “Around Memorial Day” is when there will be an official announcement that both the University of Washington and the University of Oregon are leaving the Pac-12 Conference for the B1G Conference. The move won't occur until 2024 or 2025

Rutgers was not in the Big Ten back then. I'm not sure if they played at 9AM. 1999.

so, the Big Ten West gets more 11am games?
Great!

I'd rather they announce that UCLA was uninvited

It was at 11:30 PST. And Cal won. 

Two years later they played a 10 a.m. EST game in NJ, but that was a 9/11 reschedule. Cal was 0-10 at the time, but won. 

The OC at the time went on to be Indiana's OC from 2002-3 and eventually Michigan's OC under Hoke.
