Agree, and I imagine it will be the Big 12 since the ACC is going to get poached like crazy at the first sign of a break in their GOR. The Big 12 has a huge advantage of being poached first, although I could see the Big Ten going after Kansas and the SEC going after Oklahoma State and Texas Tech later.

I never have trolled. Why is it that folks at Cal (in general but not everyone) think that any opinions that aren't what they want to hear are trolling?
These message boards are to state opinions which is exactly what I've done. It seems you believe it's trolling because you don't agree with my opinions. You have every right to disagree with me, but it's quite arrogant to say someone is only a troll because you don't agree with them. You won't see me call people names or insult people (although I admittedly might if someone attacks me first), but I'll definitely give my thoughts and you should too. If you think I'm wrong tell me so -- that's ok too. You may give me info I wasn't aware of that changes my view. I'll never be so arrogant to believe any view different than mine is automatically wrong.
I just tend to not form opinions based on emotion or try to be a PR plant/Susie Sunshine when it comes to my opinions on Cal. I'm pretty straight forward so while I can understand someone not liking my opinion, that doesn't mean I'm trolling.
You stated some emphatically anti-Cal opinions that from our POV seem to imply we do not belong in a P4/5 conference. Of course my memory may be befuddled with some other posters and you were unfairly lumped in.
Bottom line, and I believe I speak for most Cal supporters, we are definitely disappointed with our current state and, some of that group, is disappointed with a longer span of historical disappointments. So, I, for one, want to here positives or constructive negatives, since the back of my mind is screaming existential despair.
Yeah I have some emphatic opinions -- several on here do -- but anti-Cal opinions? No, those were just opinions, period. They are anti-Cal to you because of your emotions. Anti-Cal would be saying it's a terrible place to be, which it isn't. But saying it brings no additive value to a conference where it doesn't bring additive value isn't anti-Cal. I get it, no one likes it when the school they love isn't Notre Dame in value and prestige, but there's only one Notre Dame and most of the rest of the schools have places they fit and places they don't. The truth is Cal brings no value to most athletic conferences right now because quite frankly it hasn't been good in football and basketball for quite some time. That's not anti-Cal, that's the unfortunate truth.
So, if I share the painful truth about Oregon being relatively recent to national contention on a Duck fan page, that's not trolling (looking to irk folks)? Fun Fact: Oregon was just another Pac 8 team until Uncle Phil came in with his big wallet.
Like I say, I might even agree with some of what you say, if phrased differently, but you seem to think it benefits Oregon if we're simply put in the back pasture. I would call that nothing less than an anti-Cal POV and, what's more, you post these "truths" on a pro-Cal site. Hmmmm....

So, no trolling, today? ЁЯШЙ

And that's not trolling?
