I don’t know what to think of his comment on Phil Knight pulling Oregon out of the PAC.

Assuming it's the rumor Knight is working behind the scenes to buy Oregon into the B1G or SEC.

Smith makes a good point on "short wind pull" depending on how scheduling and overall performances works itself out. I generally believe it's bad business in the long-term for universities/conferences to allow corporations to make decisions on this scale. We have to hold on until that reality becomes clear.

Heard on a news report that UCLA cannot use taxpayer funds for travel to Big-10 states Iowa, Indiana and Ohio along with 19 other states because CA boycotts using state funds for travel to those states because they don't support LGBTQ issues to the extent CA thinks they should. No idea what, if any, affect that would have on UCLA.

The moral preeners may have to choose between money and...more money. What a shame. So sad for their predicament.

That would be great if this blows up in both those schools and the B10 faces. They deserve the worst as far as I am concerned
