Look, imagine if Oregon joined the WCC. Crazy thought but still, imagine it,
How would you view Oregon? Playing those 9PM starts at LMU with 150 fans? Let's say Oregon loses 1 or 2 games a year at these venues, does that make Oregon not Oregon? They are still Oregon. They still don't belong in the WCC. And you can bet your bottom dollar that after 8 years in that WCC environment they'd be a lot softer then they were when the entered.
