KEX screwed up, that's the bottom line. They took the attitude in talks with the university of basically "Oregon State has been here forever. They'll never leave."
Word is that they were stunned when they were told that the Beavers were leaving. However, the stand they are taking to folks on the outside is that OSU wanted too much and they really weren't that important to the overall health of the station. College sports are a cume magnet. That's what is really going to hurt KEX and help KPAM.
