I mean, I would get the subscription just for the season. I have also never seen Ted Lasso, so I could finally watch that as well.

It's fine.  Im being dragged through season 2...

If you think season 2 is dragging you will really not like the start of season 3 but it ends well (I feel).

Is it only 3 seasons? Also, if we can keep dragging ourselves to watch USF football, anything else should be cake to get through.

Yes three seasons and done (though likely a spinoff with less Ted)

I assume people are looking at the legislative process portion where everything says majority (conference governance pg 55) but those people are wrong it would be a board level decision where everything is 2/3 (pg 26)

Two-thirds voting is referenced three times in that document. Twice as it relates to the Athletic Director Committee (which wouldn't have the authority to dissolve the conference) and once  The Board Executive Committee is composed of 6 individuals and they can only vote on things that the Board of Directors could approve on their own by vote of a simple majority. In that instance, it would take 2/3rds of the BEC to approve. I have to imagine that dissolution requires a minimum of 2/3rds of the entire BOD and the BOD is the only body that can vote to dissolve. This document doesn't seem to address that.

So, Apple didn't want that to happen, but let them walk to the networks anyway and now they'll get an even worse match up of Oregon State vs Tulane\SMU\USF\Memphis. Make that make sense?

Apple did not "let them walk" -- the tech company was simply not going to guarantee a number that would satisfy Oregon and Washington to move to all-streaming (or at least "streaming first") contracts.

Plus, let's not forget that Larry Scott promised a similar "tiered" package for the Pac 12 networks that never came true.  So Oregon, Washington, and others were in the mindset of "fool me twice..."
