It's official. #OregonDucks and #WashingtonHuskies have joined the #B1G.

~5 hours ago, in the background, multiple PAC-12 schools were saying that the conference was saved, GOR would be signed, money would be shifted to OR/WA.

Lots of reporters believed that.

~1 hour ago it came out that the GOR would not be signed, that #B1G offered #OregonDucks and #WashingtonHuskies, they notified PAC-12 they would accept, and #ArizonaWildcats were still planning to leave.

It wasn't so much a rollercoaster ride but a last second act of desperation that some thought would work.

We started the week with uncertainty about #ArizonaWildcats, but now everyone is saying the fate of the #PAC12 will be decided by Friday.

- #Big12 mtg to extend invite to #ASU and Arizona (maybe #UtahUtes, too)
- ASU now ready to agree to go along with Arizona's expected move to Big-12
- #B1G has set up exploration of adding #OregonDucks and #WashingtonHuskies
- Oregon still open to Big-12
- Washington has stopped talking w/ Big-12
- #GK talked to #MWC re merger if the PAC-12 loses more schools

Surprising no one, the moment #Big12 commish BY announced they would seek at most 3 more for expansion, the mad dash was on.

If #OregonDucks and #WashingtonHuskies move to Big-12, it's temporary as they covet #B1G.

But I still think TP and B1G move to grab the Ducks and Huskies.

I really think the PAC-12 will dissolve before Week 0 of college football. All it takes is one more defection.

An interesting direction -- #B1G pursuing #MiamiHurricanes and #UNCTarHeels -- but complicated by #ACC schools tied up w/ GOR through 2030. #OregonDucks + #WashingtonHuskies remains easiest targets to pick up.

Meanwhile, #MWC says #SDSU already left while SDSU claims it sent letter informing MWC it was staying, for now. How #PAC12 reacts may end up determining if SDSU continues to pursue PAC12.

Congrats to the #OregonDucks for beating #UtahUtes. But it's not over. You still need to beat #OregonStateBeavers in Corvallis, and that's not going to be easy. Lose and #WashingtonHuskies might end up the the #PAC12championship .😬
