Legislation was introduced but there's no law now. Look at what happened with UCLA and cal. If UW or Oregon make the move, it will be fait accompli. They may even be more motivated to move quick before some pesky regent or state legislator can make a fuss. And zero chance Big 10 would take OSU or WSU. Pure dilution, no return. At least Stanford and cal are academically prestigious and located in a decent media market.
All the reporting is about how UW and Oregon are most likely, and Stanford/cal less so. WSU and OSU aren't even a part of the conversation from Big 10's perspective.
