So obviously this is going to shake up our future OOC schedule. Let's go with the simplest path where we just end up in the new MWC. Essentially we are going to be one of the best positioned s%#t tier schools in the country. We can pretty much guarantee a paid 'body bag's game against a league team every year then we play a schedule that is easier than P12 for conference. We can go full Boise every year with a strong conference winning record and a measuring point against league teams every year.
That essentially means if we take care of conference play we are going to be nationally relevant every single year as the underdog. That sounds crappy but that's a lot better than being relevant every 15 years as the underdog.
In other sports it's much the same. WBB and Baseball should clean up but still be able to schedule some resume stuff. Basketball might actually be better since we don't have to compete with real schools outside of SDSU.
It's going to be a mess but I see a definite path for OSU to be a relevant program as the chip on their shoulder gilted underdog everyone loves. Hell even the media is going to want us in the playoffs at some point when everyone gets tired of the same ole same ole bulls%#t with 12 teams vs 4 teams.

Plus, I'm pretty sure that OSU will continue to play Oregon every season. So that's at least on game vs a P5 team.

If we end up with a worse case 4 million contract we need to make money on all our OOC. It's going to have to be a flip in the current trend where we look at conference games as gimmes and OOC as money making resume builders. Basically back to the terrible body bag days except we don't have a wood chipper conference schedule after. |

I swear to god if we schedule oregon that could be the one thing that would test my allegiance to Oregon State |

I swear to god if we schedule oregon that could be the one thing that would test my allegiance to Oregon State Lol... my golf partner is even more reactive. He's already collecting season ticket holder in all sports to sign a letter that indicates they'll drop their tickets if Oregon is scheduled. Knowing him it'll get sent... and he/ most will still buy tix! |

If they keep the traditional schedule they will be best to s%#t with 3+ losses by the time they play us. They will also probably be paying us upwards of half a mil. Take the money, enjoy the win and head off to the conference champ game. It's also an OOC game where we barely have to travel if it's in Eugene. The downsides are we don't get petty revenge over a move we would have made in their place. The upside is money, exposure resume for off season, maintaining tradition and making the ducks look like a joke anytime we win. There's almost zero downside to the game even if we lose we're just losing a game we were supposed to anyways. Doesn't affect our conference record and a loss has very little affect on off season. If they trash us then we were heading to a good post season anyways. |

Ducks grabbed money knowing that the only condition was destroying us in the process. I literally want NOTHING to do with them in any sense ever again. I won't read about them, watch them, follow them. They don't exist to me anymore |

OSU should just go independent. Continue to play all Pac schools out of conference, except Hole and USuCk. Add in a few G5 games each season and we're basically where we are now without a CCG to deal with. Go 11-1 or 12-0 with that kind of schedule and they would still have to consider us for the playoff, and we wouldn't have to deal with any revenue sharing at all.
Just go it alone. Couldn't be any worse than treading water in the MWC.

Those same teams did the exact same thing, why would that be different? with all due respect that is not true. All Pac 10 schools (except UW) were going to sign the deal. UW was staying or going based on what Oregon decided. So...not the same |
