College Football World Roasts Stanford for Uninspiring Statement About Pac-12 Collapse
As the Pac-12 dissolves before our very eyes, four remaining schools are left in limbo. One of those teams is Stanford, as the Cardinal have been loyal to the Pac-12 through the entire realignment process but are potentially without a future home as teams around them find new conferences to join.
In response to Oregon and Washington’s move to the Big Ten, Stanford president Marc Tessier-Lavigne and athletic director Bernard Muir released a statement, saying that the school was focused on “analyzing the available options.”
Apparently, though, the message wasn’t good enough for many fans and observers who sounded off in regard to Stanford’s statement.
As spots in the Big Ten and Big 12 fill up, Stanford may have to be creative to find a stable conference for its athletic future. Or the Cardinal could consider going independent, like Notre Dame, but that option would present a whole other range of challenges.
Either way, the Pac-12’s collapse has forced Stanford, Washington State, California and Oregon State to reevaluate their current standing in collegiate athletics.
