USC and Stanford were the real villains. And Oregon State. USC and Stanford killed the Big 10 Alliance a few years ago. They didn’t want to add Big 10 teams to their schedule.
USC didn’t want Texas and Oklahoma.
The California schools were against 8 conference games, as they just had to play each other every year.
Oregon State fought against firing Larry Scott years before he was fired.
USC bailed on the conference.
USC sucked in the P12.
USC was against expansion a year ago.
And so on.
I feel a little sad Stanford and Oregon State were left out but they were some of the biggest players in the demise of the P12.
