Bill Oram: Oregon State never had it easy, but Beavers’ current fate just feels cruel

This quote really hits home:

"College athletics are full of haves and have-nots. That is not new. But only in Washington and Oregon were two state schools essentially able to vote for their own promotions while relegating their rivals."

Here we are, laying in a bed not of our own making, but that of our in-state rivals....Makes everything that has gone on since all the more bitter.
