Then just turn it around. “You shouldn’t root for the Beavs because their AD couldn’t get their team to another conference. Screw them. They don’t belong anyway. And the kids on the field should’ve known. I mean OSU has always been inept.” Don’t worry—Kids who want to come to Oregon State are hearing that (or a variation of that) from other schools competing for their commitments. I’m sure some people do. It never ceases to amaze me how little class people can have especially when it comes to sports. |

And, that states KD had any say in the decision? Nope... Is there a "timeline" for KD's comment? Nope... meaning it was mostly likely after as The Times would not be getting comments from a HC on a decision that was not yet made. If the UW admin ad went the other way would he have publicly spoken out against it? Nope Hence, you initial post was made up, fabricated, and your opinion... not fact. But, then if you search the web long enough I can prove the earth is flat! That article was actually from August 2nd (there's a timestamp on the google results, not on the articleitself). After Colorado left on the 27th and before August 4th, when uw and uo skipped the GOR signing. A lot happened in a short time. Just to be clear, the second quote is from the LA Times article on the breakup of the Pac 12 Dated 8/16/23: "Ten minutes before the meeting was to begin, however, Washington informed the Pac-12 that it was leaving for the Big Ten. The possibility of playing no games on the major linear networks was too tough of a sell for Washington football coach Kalen DeBoer, two sources told The Times." Now the Times did not interview 2 random uw students for their sources, and they want to make it clear to the wise reader that the 2 sources are Cauce and Cohen (UW President and AD at the time) The Times makes this clear by mentioning Cauce and Cohen by name in the very next paragraph: “I give president [Ana Mari] Cauce and [athletic director] Jennifer Cohen a lot of credit, because these are not easy choices,” DeBoer told reporters after the move to the Big Ten was announced, according to the Seattle Times. “But just thinking years down the road, it came to a point where the resources that we need to be able to provide for our student-athletes … going to the Big Ten allowed for a lot of that.” This is the same way newspapers identify 'a source high in the State Department' when the source is the Secretary of State who they then mention by name in the next paragraph. Anyway, if for reasons I don't understand, some of you want to think that Deboer wasn't a villain in the breakup, keep the faith with him. I will continue to regard him as a Villain. www.latimes.com/sports/story/2023-08-16/pac-12-collapse-decisions-realignment-ucla-oregon |

From the article: “The Times first reported last year that [USC President] Folt objected to adding Big 12 teams, citing multiple sources not authorized to speak publicly about the committee’s discussions. (This) It’s unclear whether Folt knew about Big Ten expansion plans involving USC at the time.” Mmmkay. |

But, post any article you'd like... your claim was false and now you change the goalposts to "villain" where as your initial boast was: "Ken Deboer was in the middle of their bailing, he was telling the ad and president that Huskie football could not survive being streaming only." Where an actual quote/interview stated he was kept in the loop. Stated there was very little interaction from the Admin and why should there be. Yeah... deep in the "middle". Not. Just as Chip, Sanders, Riley, Fisch, Dillingham, Lanning, Whittingham, Wilcox, Taylor weren't in the "middle". Are they also villains? |
