Read a rumor today that our softball team could see 10-12 players hit the portal. Here’s the first

I'd think God would be pleased the Beavers are going to play in a conference with Gonzaga, Portland, St. Mary's, Santa Clara, USF, USD and Loyola Marymount, a school named after one of THE most famous and influential religious figures in the history of the world.
Please respect my decision.

God's plan. Being made in that image we know who God is 🥴
I wonder if Jesus would have signed with Nike? The new and improved sandle called heir Jesus.

Just heard that every player but three is in the portal. Who the hell is advising these women?
Our "best" starter hit a whopping .289, with a grand total of 11 RBIs in 152 at-bats. God must have told Savanah Whatley to hit .167, with four RBIs, someplace else. Our 'star" shortstop hit .187. Our best pitcher had a 3.22 ERA; the other two had 3.78s, those are high.
To be blunt, we're going to a level (the WCC) where they might actually enjoy some success and might actually have a chance to win the conference and play in the NCAAs, instead of finishing 7th or 8th or 9th every single year. Judging by their stats, they're already WCC players outclassed in the Pac-12.
This is starting to piss me off. We support their teams, buy tickets and go to their games in crappy weather, donate to NIL programs (some of us anyways, not me), give to facility-enhancement projects and at the first sign of adversity they bail. Well, good riddance.
I'll be absolutely shocked if any more than 2-3 of these players end up in a situation as good as they'd have in the WCC.
Sorry for the rant. Other's mileage may vary, as always.

Maybe they should take a peek at wbb portal and all "homeless" players. I only have seen a half dozen games over the last two seasons, plus paying attention to posts here. As stated, where do these ladies think they are going to play? I mean "play" as in, near this level and actually get on the field??

Almost every one of them would be a spare part on another Pac-12 team.

Let's see where they end up. Or if they end up anyplace.

Let's see where they end up. Or if they end up anyplace. I was looking forward to your response 🙂 and in an attempt to resemble your earlier rant; these players were responsible for losing records and lower third finishes in the Pac the last two years and have a chance to be competitive in the WCC. What opportunities do they think await them?

What opportunities do they think await them? Looking at the final softball RPI, there were 8 Big Ten teams with an RPI comparable to Oregon State or lower. Four in the ACC, Two in the Big 12, and forget the SEC. So if any of those names get playing time in those conferences, there are their landing spots, the same as Oregon State's. BTW, OSU finished at #78 in the RPI, so when I say comparable, I'm going with #70 on down. That all being said, and has harsh as it sounds, the only way any of these players play for a winning team in one of the before mentioned conferences, is by riding the pine and being as impactful as the fans behind you.

They want a shot at playing in a power conference. They don't want to play in the WCC. Nor did the basketball players that hit the portal. It's as simple as that. Where they actually wind up, who knows? I'm guessing that at least some (maybe most) of them will attain their power conference goals. The others might decide to return. Or not.

TVO said that the conference wasn't a reason in her latest offering.
