A matter of time. A longer time, of course for Shaw. But make no mistake: a steady diet of 3-9, 4-8 or even a string of 5-7, and "plenty of sections available" attendance won't be perpetually accepted.

2018--4th (Oregon 2nd, Stanford 7th)

2020--6th (Oregon 1st, Stanford 3rd)

2022 (to date)--4th (Oregon 1st, Stanford 2nd)
UCLA has been very active in the transfer portal, but as best as I can tell the results have been a mixed bag.
Not saying anything that folks on this board don't already know, but Oregon is the only Pac-12 school that is close to elite when it comes to recruiting since 2018. Every class is ranked between 6th and 13th nationally.

The anecdotes I've gathered from my contacts in an around Westwood (and Greater Bruin Nation--"Bruins through 'n' through") reveal that the Chipper may be shopping his resume as I write this. Long-story short, Bruin Nation senses a sea change at hand, vis-a-vis the woes across town, and wants to seize the moment. It's become painfully conspicuous that he's not the guy to displace USC's hold on L.A. Stay tuned to this one.
