I gotta believe that anyone jumping into the portal now, already had a verbal deal locked in.

If UW and UO go to the Big 12, wouldn’t that put UTAH in a better position get into the B1G when they look to expand?

With the B1G still in play for possible expansion, I’m not sure that UW and UO would jump at this point into the academic dumpster fire that is the Big 12…

I had projected them both in 1st, but I guess 2nd is okay… 🙂

Carvaiho is a mission first kid.  I’ve heard that they held off having him sign to help with scholarship count.  He will definitely be a scholarship player once he gets back.

Maybe they should just play P12 games where usc and ucla got their asses handed to them….

Option 4.5  

Stick with the PAC and add Kansas from the B12 and Rice from the CUSA.  Both are AAU schools.  As well, Rice gets the conference into Texas and specifically into the Houston market (top 10).

CBS is undoubtedly scrambling to put something together with the PAC.  If you recall, they lost out on the new SEC contract and indicated they were looking at working with other conference(s).  If they can pull it off, maybe they keep UW and OR in place…  Losing the LA market is a huge gut punch, but even then, the PAC minus LA is still more interesting than the B12, loaded with G5 garbage.

I absolutely remember, because I went to each of the few home games we had.  Me, my BIL, and all the player’s parents.

Carvalho is also headed on a mission.  He is a hard commit from the 2023 class, but didn’t sign.  I believe this was to keep the scholarship open.  I saw a video of him before he left and he’s all UTE!!!!!

I’m kinda in the doghouse with my wife.  We were at the game and after Gilmore gave up the safety, I jokingly said to her, “all I need now is for Arizona to get a good return on the punt, score a TD, go for 2, and I’ll have the exact score!”  When it actually happened, she shot me a look that could kill…

IIRC we had 3 home games before the league collapsed.
