Oregon and Washington hate one another. It is among the most bitter feuds within the Pac-12. Do followers of every college need to be part of the opposite within the Massive Ten, or would they need to go to the Massive Ten and see the opposite fan base squirm in discomfort and distress.
We put this query to Don Smalley of Geese Wire:
“Does Oregon need Washington to affix the Geese within the Massive Ten, or is the rivalry so bitter than UO followers would need Washington to be left behind in a weakened Pac-12 which gobbles up some Mountain West faculties and turns into a Group of 5-level convention?”
Don Smalley: I’m going to imagine Oregon and Washington can be a bundle deal for the Massive Ten. UW has the Seattle market and the Geese have Nike. The rivalry between the 2 premiere Northwest faculties are equally vital to every fan base. It might be bizarre to not play the Huskies on a yearly foundation.
