  1. More from Kevin Warren. Guess the LA pair will be playing a lot of night games at home. Securing two of the West Coast's top collegiate brands in advance of the Big Ten's new media rights deal potentially opens the league up to capitalize on the late-night TV window, giving the league four TV slots each Saturday instead of the traditional three. Warren said the league is "finalizing our deals" and added that he expects an announcement "sooner than later" on a new media rights deal that is expected to be in the neighborhood of
  2. No conflict for me--I don't have a sympathetic side.
  3. Don't forget Ted Tollner, Larry Smith, John Robinson (second edition) and Paul Hackett. Before Riley seven of their last eight coaches fired since 1982. The only exception snuck out of town under a thundercloud of suspicion and sanctions.
  4. Is that the reported amount from ESPN? If so it doesn't include revenue from other sources, like the Pac-12 network. I looked at the reporting for fiscal year 2019-20 (pandemic year). That broke out television rights fees as $96 million from 'Network' and $265 million from 'conference' for a total of $361,867,380. Any financial experts care to translate the numbers? Pac-12 announces 2019-2020 financial results PAC-12.COM Consolidated revenue reported at $534M with total distributions at $403M, increases of 1% and 4% year-on-year Seven-year period since start of ESPN and Fox partnerships and launch of Pac-12...
  5. I'm confused. The ACC, Big 12 and Pac-12 members received roughly 50% revenue compared to the B1G and SEC. Conventional wisdom said there was no way they (ACC, Big 12, Pac-12) could compete--they were doomed. Given the above how does a new conference member become competitive if relegated to a 50% revenue share? Don't the same financial parameters apply?
  6. Dante Moore, Detroit, MI 5* Ashton Cozart, Mound, TX 4* Dante Dowdell, Picayune, MS 4* Tyler Turner, San Antonio, TX 4* Colin Gill, Washington D.C. 3* Nearly half of our commits are from regions where Oregon doesn't have a "presence". Granted it is easier if they visit an area every year but keep it in perspective. A quick glance at the current roster shows about 34 players from outside the Pac-12 footprint.
  7. Can Caleb Williams avoid injury or illness? Miller Moss is #2 on the depth chart "Overall in 2021, he completed 8-of-13 passes (61.5%) for 74 yards with 1 TD and had 3 rushes for minus 14 yards (-4.7 avg)." After him are they looking at a true freshman?
  8. Until your post I had basically ignored information regarding the BA.5 variant so I started looking. Hopefully CNET is sufficiently apolitical (if not delete this post) and the article is both recent and informative. Another COVID Wave Is Here: What to Know About BA.5 WWW.CNET.COM A new, more contagious version of omicron is causing high numbers of COVID cases and a rise in hospitalizations.
  9. From a goducks.com bio... The program’s recent plug-and-play success can be traced to Kelly’s first season in Eugene, when Oregon was forced to start four different quarterbacks over the final four games due to injury in 2007. Kelly, then serving in dual roles as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach, tutored the final signal caller of that bunch, redshirt freshman Justin Roper, who turned in a near flawless performance in guiding the Ducks to a 56-21 Sun Bowl win over favored South Florida. The 48-year-old Kelly served as New Hampshire’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach from 1999 through 2006, where his offenses averaged better than 400 yards of total offense in seven of his eight seasons and more than 30 points a game in his final four years. As a result, three Wildcat players received first-team All-America acclaim each of his last two seasons in the Granite State.
  10. I'm certainly not an insider and I heard about an endowment at least a decade ago. My feeble memory says the total started with a "b" and his net worth has certainly increased since then.
  11. Wasn't he the QB coach during his stint as OC under Bellotti? I seem to remember stories crediting him for the dramatic improvement of Dennis Dixon after working with him in the offseason.
  12. Somewhat worrisome he will only be an hour from the USC campus.
  13. The "intel" has a "my uncles brother-in-laws son was told" feel. Not buying it for a minute.
  14. In his defense that is roughly when his mother was hospitalized. She passed away last spring. A parent in critical condition is a distraction.
  15. Just to be clear your link was very interesting. Appears Sideline Sports has been around a while and has some legitimacy. You are correct that it is an extremely bold claim with a very tight deadline.
  16. Looks like they are hedging their bet.
  17. From Wikipedia The stadium and adjacent Brookside Golf and Country Club are owned by the city of Pasadena and managed by the Rose Bowl Operating Company, a non-profit organization whose board is selected by council members of the city of Pasadena.
  18. NCAA proposes Transfer Portal windows - Footballscoop FOOTBALLSCOOP.COM Instead of being open nearly 24/7, the Portal will soon be open for business only 60 days a year.
  19. Additional changes in the WBB staff Moser’s departure comes a day after former Ducks forward Oti Gildon, who served as the director of creativity/student-athlete support for the past two years, was announced as an assistant coach at Seattle.
  20. According to the article San Diego has 20% of the TV sets as LA. Without the Los Angeles schools, the Pac-12 is down 5.7 million homes in its footprint. San. Diego has 1.1 million TV homes ...
  21. Echo's of Patrick Chung who turned 17 during his first fall camp at Oregon.
  22. Still a tough battle. For several weeks the majority opinion, among well-informed and credible recruiting experts, has been Haynes would choose Georgia, while 5-Star, running back, Richard Young would commit to and later sign with the Alabama Crimson Tide. The Richard Young to Alabama thinking has not changed with the decision by Justice Haynes. What is surprising is that Haynes is openly recruiting Young to join him in Tuscaloosa. By all counts, Richard Young is the No. 1 running back in the 2023 class. Not many lower-rated recruits work hard to get a higher-rated prospect in their position group to come to the same program. Alabama Football: Tide lands Justice Haynes, stunning Georgia BAMAHAMMER.COM Catching recruiting experts off guard, Alabama Football landed highly rated running back, Justice Haynes. It wasn't supposed to happen. Haynes is a Georgia...
  23. Not many athletes are announcing commitments right now as It is a recruiting dead period for another week. Coaches can't talk to recruits. Expect it to pick up in August.
