Oregon, Phil Knight have 2 conferences on their wish list, per report

Oregon is in an unenviable position after USC and UCLA left the Pac-12 for the Big Ten over the past few days.

Now, the Ducks are arguably the best remaining brand in the 10-team Pac-12. Could the school be exploring options to leave the conference, too?

Per a report from Pac-12 insider John Canzano, Oregon and Nike founder Phil Knight have the Big Ten and SEC on their realignment wish list:

Oregon and Phil Knight have a wish list and put the Big Ten and SEC on it.

But…

Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff is punching effectively off the ropes behind the scenes. Said a source: "George is kicking ass."

What does it all mean?

What does the future hold for the Ducks? The Pac-12 will likely fight hard to keep all its current members as it looks to expand.

But, will that be enough to keep the Ducks from jumping to the SEC or Big Ten?
