FYI: Collecting Documents on realignment: in progress

I personally was not wondering, to me there was no doubt.  Others who may have extended a more lenient benefit of doubt can see the clear evidence in these letters both the O and W were working in lock step with each other.  

About the only surprising thing to me in all this is, how little faith Oregon had in the power or their own brand as evidenced by their actions; first they girlfriend bestie UW, then knife rest of P12 in back for the pleasure of accepting a reduced membership in the B1G which makes them a stepchild to UCLA/USC who received full fledged memberships.  

That part surprises me.  It suggests their confidence in the brand and any leverage it may bring is limited to only ongoing success.  Or in other words, unlike a Texas for example, who has been down for a number of years and can still negotiate their own terms. 

My bigger question is who wrote these letters for the schools?

Somebody at the Pac-12 office advised them here. Their letters are identical. These universities were handed boiler plate language to use. 

Somebody should ask that question. Who advised Oregon and UW to identically state the exact same thing to clarify their ability to vote when previously for USC, UCLA and CU they were told explicitly they lose their board seat?

You know that answer.  George K. had them written or wrote them himself.  He is working for the Pac-10 side 100%.  So why is he still employed and given a pass here time and time again?  Why is everyone so easy on George K.?

This is my first time trying to link something so cut me some slack if it doesn't work, but click below and this is on the University of Washington official athletics website.  
Seems pretty close to a formal announcement

If you issue a press release (which that appears to be) to the world at large, would not the PAC 12 office be considered a part of that world? Have you not just notified them that you're leaving?

I hereby am stating that we need to continue to receive our benefits until Aug of 2024.  We are in fact not leaving until we leave, for which we will then have left.  But until we have left we will not be leaving.  We will only be leaving when it is beneficial to have left but not before we are leaving.  Therefore, we expect everyone to disregard our very public leaving notice until we have officially left because we haven't officially told anyone we are leaving, except the whole world.  So, in summary, we will not be leaving until Aug of next year in which we will most likely be leaving until such time we have officially left.  Sound about Right?!

UCLA paid a 15 million dollar APPLICATION FEE to the Big 10??? How hilarious if the Big 10 had taken that and said, "Application denied"
