Wow this is very good.  Everyone should watch this.  A lot of good info.

Totally agree...decisions need to be made for the good of the majority of student athletes being able to get a college degree to help secure their future because they aren't getting the big NIL money or going pro.  I am sad that college athletics no longer seems to want to serve the majority of its athletes.

Call me skeptical but I wonder if he felt the same way before his school got left behind in these latest movements?

I'm skeptical too.  Had they been offered by the Big10 or Big12 with everyone else they would have signed also, and left Oregon State behind in a minute.

Absolutely not. If they had a big10 invite sitting on a table, they gone. This is crying wolf, point blank.

Great watch and very informative.

Interesting to hear the WSU president say he had always seen benefit in being associated with Cal and Standford, and acting lockstep with them was always best for his school. However, at the end he mentioned needing to create their own future and not depend on what Cal and Stanford do going forward. This type of waffling probably contributed to them being left behind at the negotiating table. 

Cal and Stanford, along with the teams that left were focused on money and the future while WSU was just happy to be involved.
