Cal and Stanford literally have nothing to say. Their only option is the new media deal with the P10, so all they can do is sit and wait. The PNW schools, however, are mum bcos any word -- even a whisper -- would eliminate any call from the BiG. (Think how quiet USC and UCLA were before the public announcement. Silence is golden) Publicly campaigning for a BiG bid would just tick off the BiG poohbahs.
The silence out of Seattle and Eugene is ominous. If Oregon and Washington jump, everything will shatter. IF that happens, hopefully Cal and Stanford will jump to the Big 10 too. It's the only satisfactory ending. The Pac ? is destined to become a second tier conference.
Hopefully a new deal can be reached we came to play in the PAC 12
interesting that Cal, Furd, Oregon and UW are the quiet ones, and exactly the ones that would be of interest to the B10.

Yeah, but this is poker.

Cal: Keep quiet and collect the Calimony
“To be fair” the “potential reasons for being silent” are overwhelming. Everyone knows where Cal stands.
Cal stands, alright, on shaky ground. Both literally and physically.
