I would not have supported our leaving the intact Pac-12 to join the B1G.  Football is just one sport.  Even in football, we hung with the best in the nation under Harbaugh and Shaw (for awhile).  

We won the Sears cup every year for decades while a member of the Pac conference.  The best athletic college in the nation!  Now we are are a disrespected member of the Atlantic Coast Conference.

The SoCal traitors would have never left the Pac-12 but for $$.  If ESPN had offered $50m per school, the Pac-12 would be intact.  It was all about the $.

Of course, the SCal schools left for the money.  They were smart enough to read the handwriting on the wall that said — you should leave if you want to continue to compete at the highest level because there will only be two winners in this race (SEC and Big Ten) when all is said and done.  

The facts are clear - the guilty parties are not USC and UCLA.  The presidents and chancellors are the one’s responsible for blowing up the conference.  Remember, ESPN offered $30 million/school in 2019 and the “conference leadership” said, no thanks.  The rest is history.

I don't blame the schools for declining $30 million per school in 2019. It's declining that same amount in 2022 after the LA schools left that was malpractice.

Yep.  I should have mentioned the second offer.  Thanks for reminding me.

I guess I value loyalty more than others.
